Casablanca Unique Hotel

Had a lovely break at Casablanca hotel, very helpful staff,good facilities,great location,huge brekky, defo going back again.

Excellent staff, basic but acceptable, good value. However I had a MAJOR problem, I was bitten very severely by bed bugs with more than 50 bites on my arms and hands alone. Yet they say they found no evidence of bed bugs so how can you stay there?

I spent 3 nights at the hotel having driven over from the Costa del Sol where I now live for most of the year. I used to visit the Algarve with my late husband and it was the first time I had been back in 10 years. I had a pleasant stay in the hotel. It was clean and comfortable with a very good choice for breakfast. Dinner was also fine as I didn’t particularly want to eat out alone. I managed to park outside the hotel each evening. A good base for what wanted.

I received a warm welcome on arrival and found the Moroccan, minimalistic style of the hotel interesting and unusual for Montegordo. This was my sixth holiday in Montegordo and my first time in this hotel. My room had two comfortable beds, a TV, a tiny fridge and a coffee maker, but no kettle. It had a hanging rail but no drawers for clothes. The bathroom had a decent shower but was in desperate need of a repaint and a new door. The room was serviced each day with fresh towels, bed making and rubbish removal. I was allocated a room on the second floor at the corner of the building and I picked up all the loud noise from the square outside and the restaurants around the square- no peace until after midnight most nights. I had breakfast each day and the atmosphere in the dining room was relaxed and comfortable. Food choice was good and plentiful. I could have eaten dinner at 15 euros but the menu posted each day didn't tempt me. There are plenty of places to eat in Montegordo and Vila Real. All in all, a small, friendly, reasonably comfortable hotel which is let down by the noise from the square outside and the unnecessary 2 euro per day charge for a room safe which is not bolted to the wall. I won't be returning as there are hotels close by which offer better value for money and a sea view.

I stayed at Casablanca for five nights. This was my first solo trip and I really had the best stay. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, I wanted to do a day trip to Tavira (high recommend) but wasn’t too sure about where the train station was and how to get there. They got Google maps up for me and showed me exactly how to get there via street view and told me which train and what to expect. I got there and back with no problems and only cost me €5 for a return. The rooms are basic but clean and fresh. When I arrived it was late at night but noticed my balcony door wouldn’t lock, I explained this to reception and they came and had a look but the lock had broke. They changed my room without hesitation. I booked for bed and breakfast, the breakfast was great. Plenty of choice and rotated on a daily basis again staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I spent my days by the beach or wandering around as I had made some friends on the first night but the pool appeared clean with plenty of sunbeds. It is a little pool but that suits with the hotel being on the smaller scale. It is a great location with the beach only a three minute walk and is surrounded by bars and restaurants. A perfect little get away to recharge the batteries! Thank you for making my stay excellent!

I am currently staying at the Casablanca hotel I must say it is one of the best I have stayed in Carina on reception made me feel so welcome and special I cannot fault the rooms comfortable and extremely clean breakfast and evening meals brilliant all the staff so friendly and attentive this hotel deserves 6 stars I would definitely come back here

This was my first solo trip abroad. I booked this hotel,as,it was a reasonable deal,for the 3 days I had planned. What can I say? On 1st sight,entering the reception area,beautiful. Such a clean,quirky,pretty lobby. Receptionist was very friendly,and,told me,in my room were a bottle of water,and,hot drinks..free. My room was on the 2nd floor,down a long corridor,where,the lights came on,as you passed. My room was beautiful,clean,spacious,modern ,again,quirky..just dreamy. Breakfast was in a beautiful,clean room. Tables set out nicely,usual suspects for breakfast,cereal,toast,pastries,cheese,ham,bacon,etc…fresh juices,and,a hot drinks machine,staff were very polite,and,attentive. The hotel itself,is a stone throw away from a beautiful beach. Ricks bar on an evening,lovely atmosphere,nice staff,and,good drinks. If you’re visiting here,and,need a lovely hotel to stay in,this place is a must! It’s close to the beach,bars,and,an assortment of restaurants. Hoping to revisit soon.

Nice, clean, basic room, perfect for my need. Great location, 5 minutes walk from the stunning Monte Gordo beach. Tasty breakfast, with a good selection. Helpful staff. I didn't get a chance to visit before the refurbishment, but I would definitely return.

Not a bad hotel,pool not open, and can see why some people have criticised the decor.They have gone for the polished plaster look, I hope they haven't paid a fortune because it's really badly done, and having done it myself I wouldn't have hung round for payment as I'd be too embarrassed.Staff are nice, breakfast good, no cupboards in the room,
