Beautiful breakfast each morning, the staff in Muthu Forte Da Oura couldn't have been nicer or more helpful, every morning they would fetch us a high chair for the baby without having to be asked. Manager was always there smiling. They made a fuss over us and the kids, really felt like we were getting 5 star treatment. Rooms are nice - air-conditioning was brilliant.

Games room was poor, could do with upgrading. That would be our only complaint. To be honest the weather is so good you wouldn't use the games room anyway. This hotel is MILES AHEAD of its sister hotel the Oura Praia which we have just returned from where reception staff have such a bad attitude and everything is a hassle to them.

Some of the negative comments about this hotel are so unfair. I enjoyed a ten night stay and had q great experience. Staff are hard working, pleasant and helpful, especially Edgar the chef who provides amazing variety and quality food on the Buffet, Annabella on reception who gives great advice for travelling etc.. and the lovely Manoj at the pool bar who always has a warm smile and welcome. I am a vegetarian and have been very impressed by the fresh fruits, salads, bread/cake selection on offer. I enjoyed a lovely chickpea curry with baked butternut squash which was delicious, had a fresh vegetablelasagne and many other lovely meals. Yes the rooms are a bit dated but the beds are exceptionally comfortable and the room is spacious and clean. Good air conditioning, good shower, and importantly, a central location to travel around. The MGM group has many hotels which guests can also enjoy, and I have visited a few already, but I would return to this one again. Highly recommend for quality and value. Plenty to do close by, can spend days in the old town with an abundance of shops, restaurants and bars, as we as the stunning beaches. Recommend a day trip to Vilamoura where we enjoyed the Bengal cave boat trip.

Need to get a lounger early and if you have dietary requirements, talk to staff, they are helpful.

The hotel had fantastic facilities - being able to go to dofferent ‘sister’ hotels as part of the all inclusive meant a good change of scenery too. The all inclusive was exactly as advertised, 2 drinks per person at any one time, and staff were always present to serve drinks. Good selection of food options, with themed buffet nights but also 10+ restaurants available to book within a short walking distance. Beds in the apartment were good too, and could not hear other guests at any point.

On occasion, the food standards were not high. Great variety of dishes but often lacking flavour.

Great value for money. The room was spacious and comfortable. The pool is a good size with a nice little pool bar that severed a great selection of snacks in the afternoon. Staff friendly. Great location. Good all-rounder hotel. Will book again

Had tea making facilities in our room but no teabags or coffee. We grabbed some from the restaurant on the 2nd day. Also, we arrived about 11pm, but the bar was closed. There was no bottled water in the room, and the vending machine at reception only took coins, so we couldn't use it. Just little things but something that could be tweaked for an improved service.

The breakfast we only had on the first day and there was a wide selection but at 15 euro a person was a bit overpriced. We found little cafes beside the hotel who offered an excellent breakfast fir a third of the price.

The hotel was comfortable and very clean but the decor was a bit dated and to be honest not really the standard you would expect of a five star rating. Our fridge door was almost hanging off. The decor could definitely do with an upgrade for sure.

location was very close to beach and the strip. there are lots of lovely restaurants surrounding. facilities such as pool and beach towel rental are very handy. check in was very smooth and the receptionist was very helpful.

if you do not have kids this hotel is not adults only. there are a lot of families. pool is quite small with a lack of sun loungers. lots of sun loungers reserved with towels. these are only small points, the whole stay was fabulous.

The staff were fantastic, hotel was brilliant, would definitely recommend. Julia on reception is a real asset to the hotel, she is the most helpful person ever. Also Andre in the restaurant/bar. And Anabelle , the reception manager. I was travelling on my own (first time ever!) attending a wedding and the staff at the hotel really looked after me. I got upgraded to a beautiful suite which was very much appreciated.

There was nothing i didnt like, however (out of the hotel's control) there was a very noisy bunch of guys (probably a stag party) who were really loud and using inappropriate language around the pool and making lots of noise at night. however this is not the hotel's fault, but i felt they should have been told to watch the language and calm down as there were older people and children around.

Great variety for breakfast and well cooked. The dessert cakes were my favourite. The all inclusive cocktail menu was lovely but more options would of been nice. All staff were friendly.

Would be nice if we could take breakfast up to our rooms. As my friend missed breakfast so many times due to over sleeping. Even if we could take croissants and fruit up, it would be nice.

Hotel is really nice, more updated than it's counterparts that are dotted around the area. You can share restaurants with other MGM hotels which is good and offers variety. We only had breakfast at the hotel which was ok. Rooms are comfortable, and bathroom clean. Staff friendly and helpful.

Breakfast was a little expensive in our opinion. Some of the decor was out of date and in poor condition

Nice variety of breakfast items, although better cuts of bacon( back bacon) would have been nice instead of the streaky bacon. Lunch and dinner selection were good. Accommodation standard was good and poor mattresses in Room 231 was promptly dealt with.

Desserts were too repetitive and would have liked to have seen UK type selections, eg variety of cheese cakes, apple tarts and ice cream and hot custard.
