10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were clean when we arrived but the kitchen had oils or left over residue on the handles so felt a bit gross opening and closing them. The tables were definitely were not wiped and some of the furnishing had been water stained but that's from other guest usage. Bed comfy enough tho. Bath looked a bit gross. Don't know if it's residue staining or mould or just dirty.

Great pool, friendly staff, and nice gym. The location was perfect, 5-15 min away from anything you would like to do (by car). Breakfast was great, I would not recommend eating lunch or dinner though, over priced and lacks flavor, plenty of better options in the local area.

10/10 Exceptional

We had read reviews before we arrived and the price we paid we weren’t expecting immaculate 5 star. This accommodation was better than expected, yes the rooms are a bit tired and yes the pool area is. The staff are all lovely and it has a very relaxed vibe to it. It’s a good location if you’re not bothered about being near the beach. The walk to the town is a bit hilly and about 20 mins but that didn’t bother us. We had such a lovely holiday and for what we paid we thought it was excellent value for money. We didn’t use the spa but the gym was good. Small but decent. We would definitely recommend this resort.

Great location near town. Spacious apartment with kitchen. The pool was nice but we didn’t get to use it. I liked that it had 2 full bathrooms bc I traveled with my older son and daughter. It also had a pull out couch so they didn’t have to sleep in the same room. Enjoyed our stay!

This was our second visit to Monte Santo and it was just as good as our first. The apartment was pristine. The pools are lovely. The restaurant and takeaway food service are excellent. And really importantly the staff, from the receptionists to bar staff to housekeepers, were all incredibly kind, friendly and professional. Our four year old and eight month old had the time of their lives, as did we. We’ll definitely be back!

Our first room was ant infested. Ants all over the kitchen counter and dining table. We had to request a new room. They tried to tell us they could send someone to exterminate and we had to insist on a new room. The new room was better- did still see a couple ants but not as bad. The property itself was beautiful though especially the pool area. Overall for the price it’s worth it.

What wonderful accomodation - we stayed in a 2 bed luxury apartment and were surprised at how large it was. We were also fortunate to have a very large terrace overlooking the pool area. Resort was quiet and relaxing with plenty of space around the pool. Easy walk downhill to the beach which took approx 20 mins and a few minutes longer back. Uber were cheap and easy to book if you need a taxi. Lovely toiletries including bath robe and slippers. Spotlessly clean rooms including daily housekeeping. Very friendly staff. Would definitely return

This property was a great find! It was immaculate. The townhouses were nestled in well manicured landscaping. The club house was wonderful with breakfast that was decent. The location was 8 mins to the center of town. Our only observation was that the vilas was in need of modernization. The decor needed refreshing. The washing machine and dishwasher didn't work. The cooking appliance were great though and you had everything you needed to make a simple meal. Overall, we had a lovely stay and our dinner at the restaurant was amazing!

Large resort with 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom houses ideal for families or friends sharing. The houses have gardens that share a pool. We have been here three times now over the last 6 years and eve though it’s always enjoyable, maintenance of properties and grounds could be better. Lots of things broken in the house, housekeeping skipped one day and didn’t clean the floors the second day, playground and woodwork everywhere could do with paint. If we were to pay high season prices we could have complained Claudia at the kids club is great

2 bedroom villa was spacious. Cannot comment on pools or grounds as we visited off season. Breakfast plentiful and delicious. Kitcen not very well supplied for cooking meals , but we managed. The glass wall in one of the showers was not connected in any way to the tub, so the bathroom ended up totally flooded; housekeeping did not replace the towels we soaked from mopping it up.
