Great stay
Venisha, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

We really enjoyed our stay at Monte Santo and would happily return. Our room didn’t have enough blankets or towels and when they were replaced they often weren’t replaced equally (no bath mat after cleaning, missing face clothes). Otherwise, it was a great stay
Amy, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice resort but needs urgent refurbishment. Not even close to 5 stars. Small breakfast room, very small gym, etc. breakfast at a 2 star hotel level.

10/10 Excellent

Very nice property 15 minutes walk to town (downhill) cheap Uber back. Had only a couple of small issues. They do need to change the music in the bar/restaurant. 5 songs in the entire loop.
Michael, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice and friendly team, town house was very well located and amminities . Can use better mattresses
Ashish, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Unfortunately we had a number of maintenance issues , lots of broken things in the 2 bed townhouse air conditioning after a number of attempts could not be fixed , door was Broken , button to flush toilet and more they definitely need to be maintained better . Staff are great it’s a lovely resort but I can’t say it’s 5 star due to those issues I would say 4 stars and unfortunately won’t return .

Beautiful and comfortable resort for family with children.
Jackeline, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

This resort has great bones. It has the potential to be great and, I think, was once, not long ago. It’s let down by the condition of the rooms/apartments. The location is good, it’s possible to walk to a few restaurants and Carvoeiro is within striking distance. Our apartment was a good size, but just needed some maintenance and updating. The dishwasher didn’t wash dishes properly. The rail on the balcony was warped, “splintery” and needed painting/staining. The fittings in the bathroom were, in some cases, missing or broken. The mats in the gym are worn thin, the floor of the gym is stained and damaged. The TV service was good in terms of choice of channel, signal was patchy though and could benefit from providing access to Netflix, Prime etc. Would I go back? Yes, right after a renovation.

Nice place

Nice spot really enjoyed it. All facilities excellent. Only small negative. The balconeys are unbelievably close to each other. It's like you're sharing a balcony nearly with your neighbours.

Arup, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Stayed mid-October. Fantastic resort, staff super friendly and attentive. We celebrated a couple of birthdays and received cakes and sparkling wines from the resort. Buffet breakfast was excellent. The resort was kept spotless and rooms cleaned each day. The location was great, near the beach, supermarkets, town and some great restaurants. Only thing I’d say could be improved upon is the heating of the indoor pool could be slightly warmer.
