Rooms were very poor … broken shower/flush / bugs … after complaining we got a bit better room but next time we would stay at the Muthu Clube Praia da Oura… that’s more lively and awesome staff and better facilities All inclusive was not worth the money

Full of stag dos and loud music. Not relaxing at all

The property lacked basic amenities such as sugar tea and coffee sachets we were not notified that there was a 100 euros deposit so that came as a surprise. I think for the price there are better options available other there would not recommend. The property is walking distance from the strip and the beach but otherwise would not recommend.

It's billed as a 5-star hotel. It's barely a 2-star dump. There is no soap by the sink. When I asked the front desk, they said to use the soap dispenser in the shower. No coffee provided for the coffee maker. When I asked the front desk I was told yes, there is no coffee in the rooms. Same with bottled water. Plus the hallways are furniture are dirty.

Thank you Grand Muchu Oura View Club. For a pleasant stay and enjoyable holiday. I got in contact with the hotel prior to arriving as our flight arrived in Faro early in the morning. This was excellently acknowledged and our early check into the hotel was fully accomodated. My travelling party needed the extra support and this was honoured by the reception team. Communication with the hotel upon arrival and throughout our stay was very pleasant. Even when we had issues with the light in the room, it was promptly dealt with. Ok, food options were slightly limited but we had 5 different restaurant options which meant we were not bored. The location is fab and met our needs. Cleaning was on point and staff were very accomodating. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks again. 😊

Positives: * We cannot fault the reception staff, they were all so helpful & friendly. Exactly what you would hope for. * The restaurants offsite just near the beach are great! Negatives: * On the first few days despite paying for all inclusive no food was being served at the hotel. We had to walk to another hotel nearby, I booked all inclusive for convenience and so we could pop down for something to eat when we fancied it. * The buffet was horrendous. None of it seemed to go together to make a meal, I ended up with chips and bread. I did get some chicken wings to go with it, but they were not very nice. * We we’re excited for the speciality restaurants. One night it was raining terribly and the man seeing us in basically told us off being late, was very rude and then proceeded to just put food on the table and walk off without speaking to us. The speciality restaurants were all in the Mexican and out of the same kitchen. You do not choose a meal, you just get given random things on a plate for each course. Eg a starter we were given was Tuna Mayo, mashed potato and potato skins?!! The food was all very bland and not speciality restaurant quality at all. * Due to the inconvenience of food not being available in the hotel and the food not being an enjoyable quality, we paid to eat out twice every day and ordered in groceries to make our own breakfast. So a total waste of money paying for all inclusive. * The place is very run down, but could be beautiful.

Definitely not 5* more 3* . Stayed 2 nights. Outdoor swimmingpool is good. Sun beds are locked in one position. Had an apartment. Need renovations. Honestly i would go for a different place

I’m not sure what scale that this property is using to justify its 5 stars, perhaps it’s 5/100. It is extremely misleading, considering that I could have stayed somewhere far nicer for the same price. Everything is run down and old. The gym equipment is mostly broken in one way or another and the “spa” is worse than my local gym “spa”, certainly not one expected at a 5 or even 3 star resort. This hotel is 2 stars at best. Granted the rooms are spacious enough, so you can probably squeeze a bunch of people in there, they are bland and stale like old bread. Somewhere 30-40 years when this place was presumably built it was probably ok. They just forgot that we’re now in 2024…

The whole hotel was cold. Noise levels in rooms high, from both the halls and construction. Anything wood was broken and dirty.

Hotel room larger than normal with great views. Only downside is that there were no usb sockets. BUT cannot criticise too much. Breakfast lovely and surroundings were great. Pool was large and area clean. Only there for a long weekend, but we had good weather in between minor drops of rain. Look forward to staying there again

We had a lovely break, the rooms are a bit dated but pleasant and clean. The bed was super comfy and the room had everything we needed (iron and board was in there too) The pool is lovely, couple of slides to play on. Would definitely return

We couldn’t get to the ocean. It felt like we were locked in.

Overall impression of hotel was not good. Only 1 lift working, décor was tatty & dated, rooms very old fashioned, beds very uncomfortable, pool too small for hotel capacity, noise from rooms above very loud, the cleaners don’t clean kitchen items, location is close to lively part with nightclubs/bars, pool/beach towels available but you have to pay to rent them & leave a deposit (most 4/5* hotels give you a card to exchange for a towel). Negative points wouldn’t be an issue if the hotel wasn’t listed as 5* Room was very old & unpleasant to stay in. We decided to stay in a villa after one night here, so we asked reception to cancel cleaners, we put the “do not disturb” sign on our door, and left for 4 nights, intending to return on our last night before departure. We never told anyone at the hotel that we were leaving. We arrived back at our room a few days later, there were other guests in it. We were told at reception that we checked out, and said we were going back to England, we did not. The receptionist was so rude, I couldn’t believe how I was being spoken to. I asked her to contact the employee who said we left or a manager. She phoned someone & then said they had another room for us, I asked what had happened, & she snapped “I’ve told you what happened, I don’t know who is lying but do you want this new room or not?” I asked for my deposit back for the beach towels and gave her the receipt showing we were owed £40, she tried to give me €40, maybe a mistake.

Hotel was nice enough but the restaurants being in another place was not clearly advertised and when bookings were tried they were always full. Only other criticism is that the vodka which was a house vodka tasting like petrol.
