Hotel is nice and modern. Jr. suite was large only issue was the shower has like a half door and water went all over the floor after every use. We possibly didn’t use it right but I think we did. Breakfast had variety and was delicious. We only ate lunch in the hotel once it was ok but kinda pricey tons of other restaurants close by and more affordable. It’s about a 5-7 minute walk to the beach and it’s very safe. We stayed 8 nights and had a great time. Lots of other towns close by to visit also.

The Prime Energize is my number one choice for Monte Gordo. No disrespect to the area, but this hotel is far superior to most of the other hotels in Monte Gordo. Very good restaurant and spa.

Every staff member was really friendly and always had a warm friendly smile from the cleaners in the morning to the restaurant and bar workers. Joao the restaurant manager could'nt do enough for us. We had an infant with us and he was soo helpful and kind to us, as were all the staff members. This made a big difference to our stay. The rooms were clean

The Prime Energize is a Primo Property
The Prime Energize is one of the best hotels in the whole of the Algarve. It is comfortable, stylish, priced well, and in a great location. Fuel is a very good restaurant for any meal; breakfast was especially good. For me, a good night's sleep is the most important aspect of my stay. My room was spacious, quiet and the mattress and linen were outstanding -- Portuguese cotton sheets no doubt.I have already booked my next stay. I'd also like to comment about Catarina at reception; she made me feel welcome and provided lots of good tips for my time in Monte Gordo -- a very unpretentious and attractive town.

The room was big and spacious, clear and well presented. I went away with my partner for a couple of days without child, I’m sure I said I wanted a double bed room. Got two single beds side by side not the most comfortable beds in the heat of the moment or when trying to relax next to one another.
