This was our second stay at Monte Santo having first visited back in 2010. We were welcomed back to the resort and having arrived early they were happy to store our luggage for us until our room was available. We didn't rent a car last time but did this time, and benefitted from being able to drive in the local... More

Just spent a week at Monte Santo resort and thought it was great. Two bed suite was perfect, beautifully decked out, nice toiletries, well stocked kitchen, friendly helpful staff. Would definitely go back. Kids loved the pools ( the indoor one could do with being a little warmer and it would have been naive to have the outdoor toddler pool... More

This is the second time i've been to Monte Santo and somehow, this trip was even better than then last. We got a two bedroom apartment/villa and all of the amenities are superb. The kitchen has absolutely everything you could need. In the bathrooms you are supplied with lovely toiletries and more towels than you could ever use! We had... More

This is a good hotel I would rate as a standard 4 star. First morning we went for breakfast @ 08:10 breakfast opens at 08:00. Doors locked and lady opened on seeing us; coffee served another 20 minutes later. I got the impression we were a little earlier for them. On our last day I asked could we stay in... More

We have visited the Algarve many times, and the Monte Santo is by far the best place we have ever stayed. Beautiful secure grounds, everything maintained immaculately. We stayed in a one bedroom suite in the clubhouse, and it was superb. Super-comfy bed, gorgeous linens and towels, toiletries, ultra modern kitchen and two bath/shower rooms. Huge terrace with chairs/table/loungers, elegant... More
