Dunamar Hotel Apartamentos

“Friendly, clean and stunning beach. Perfect beach for children”

We really enjoyed our stay here. We didn't use the restaurant facilities but walked the short walk each evening to the local restaurants where this is plenty of choice. The irish bar is worth a visit too for karaoke and live music. The hotel is friendly and incredibly clean. We had a side view room which over looked a small market, we weren't sure at first as wasn't very private. However the sun set over this side so meant we could sit on the balcony early evening and catch the last of the sun which was lovely. The beach is absolutely beautiful and only a few minutes walk. We spent most of our time here as it was such a family friendly beach. Its one of the moat beautiful beaches we have visited. The food at the poolside bar was delicious and really friendly service too. We will be returning :)

“Great hotel, great location and great value for money”

I booked this last minute and it wasn't my first choice. However I'm glad I stayed here. The hotel was lovely..The staff were very friendly..in particular the restaurant staff.

I booked this last minute and it wasn't my first choice. However I'm glad I stayed here. The hotel was lovely..The staff were very friendly..in particular the restaurant staff. The hotel backs into the beach which was the prettiest beach I've ever been to. The rooms were spacious. The buffet breakfast was stereotypical with plenty of choice. The cocktails were a good price for a hotel. 7 euros. You can go to the gym or fitness classes but you have to pay as it's a private health club... 5 Euros. I also booked in for a massage which was amazing. I'd stay here again. Downside ...the mattress was hard so I found it hard to sleep and the pool was absolutely Baltic. The sea was warmer to swim in.

The hotel itself is large and impersonal but this may suit you but the rooms were great clean and comfortable

“Dunamar not a 4 star”

Myself and my wife have just returned home from a week at the Dunamar hotel in Monte Gordo and I dont think it should be classed as a 4 star. I'll do the negative points first. The lifts and corridors need more attention when being cleaned, I don't think I have seen a single clean window around the hotel especially the glass in the restaurant and around the pool. The room was a good size but is in serious need of modernising if it wants to be a 4 star. The kitchen needs updating, the bathroom has a loose toilet seat, loose grab rail over the bath, loose taps, grotty tiles and dirty grout lines which have never been cleaned and the bath is really grotty, infact I wouldn't bath my dog in it let alone have a nice relaxing soak and they have the cheek to ask for a 50 euro deposit incase anything got trashed lol. The ceiling in the living room has got flaking paint and there are loose door handles, I get the impression that they don't like investing money into the hotel. The sunbathing area doesn't open until 9am so you end up with people queuing to go in and then a mad dash to get a sun bed, which there is a shortage of, there are broken tiles around the pool which are unsightly. The good points , the location is ideal as its a very short walk to the beach and the local shops and restaurants which there are ample. The staff are very friendly and helpful, the breakfast is one of the best we have had in the Algarve and we have stayed at a few hotels over there which is why we can definitely say that it shouldn't be classed as a 4 star. Unfortunately, we won't be returning to the Dunamar hotel again.
