We had a positive experience staying at Monte Santo resort. Upon arrival, we had a few issues of flooding in our room, but this was quickly resolved by the team. The hotel is in the ideal location close to all nearby attractions such as carveiro beach, portimoe and the benagil caves. The cleaners did a great job every day of tidying our room and replacing our towels. The room consisted of two bedrooms two bathrooms, living area and kitchen with a fridge. Freezer oven microwave hob dishwasher and washing machine. We booked this resort due to the indoor heated swimming pool, however the swimming pool was a very cool temperature and did not heat up. One Jacuzzi was out of order and the other one was not very hot or bubbly. The spa on site was very good, but quite expensive. The restaurant Had a great variety of breakfast and was never too busy, however, the evening food menu was not that great. Paulo and Jose were very helpful and I would also like to mention Claudia from the kids club as she was amazing and offered fantastic activities for the children. The tv channels need updating and there is a lovely area with frogs and turtles near the love lock bridge. It would be great if the hotel offered a shuttle service to the nearby beach, all year round, and they had another restaurant and more variety of food. It was also quite disappointing that the pool bar was closed and it would be great to sell some snacks on site. We ordered room service from the aroma restaurant, and the presentation was great, but most nights we ordered takeaway or visited different restaurants close by . Conclusion, this is a great 3/4 star hotel resort, Some slight refurbishment is needed, but overall good for a short family stay and a very scenic hotel with lovely views and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend and visit here again.

We had 3 nights in a townhouse over half term. Such a great place for a family break, we loved the indoor pool and sauna, very family friendly. Breakfast was fantastic, plenty of choice, fresh fruit and good coffee. Lovely staff working really hard. We loved exploring the town and beautiful coastline.

Originally booked for 5 days but our flight going out got cancelled so we went out a day early and had to book an extra night at this resort. it was a large extra cost but was so worth it. the extra night we had a town house which was really nice, clean and spacious. the rest of the stay was in a suite in the main building which was also nice, clean and spacious. the staff were very good in getting us to and from our apartments and were fully aware of the situation etc and everything was very smooth. the staff were lovely especially Marianna (receptionist) and Jose. I was there for my birthday and received a cake and bottle of champaine which was a lovely surprise and gesture. the breakfast and food at dinner were both tasty. We enjoyed a quick game of pool in the games room. the outside pool area looked nice but due to the weather was not able to sample it. Not much local to the area but taxis are cheap and came in good time. walk to the beach is about 15 mins which was down hill and a pleasant walk. would definately recommend and visit again but when in season as not much to do when out of season. A lovely few days away

We stopped for 10 days at the Monte Santo resort. On arrival we were greeted and transported to our 2 storey townhouse. The townhouse was very clean, modern with good facilities overlooking a small pool surrounded by about 12 houses. the only downside to the townhouse was it had an upstairs balcony which had no furniture making it unusable. The staff at the resort were friendly enough and the food in the restaurant was good but breakfast became a bit repetitive. drinks average prices were €2.50 - Latte €2.50 bottle of water €5 beer. The only downside at the resort was the pool area. The pool floor was filthy, the pool guy put a pool vacuum in every day for about 30 mins but the bottom of the pool was grim, covered in rubbish and filth. i messaged reception and the pool guy came out with a net and wafted it about and disappeared again. the patio area surrounding the pool was never swept or mopped properly throughout our 10 days. it was covered in sun cream and dirt. the pool guy came out 4 times and mopped up where the seagulls drank out of the pool but at no point did he give anywhere a thorough clean. The sunbeds were all dirty on the fabric and legs and alot of the umbrella's were broken. The steam room was also faulty all week and the drains kept blocking causing a terrible smell. Overall we had a good stay, it was a nice walk into the town and the closest supermarket is about a 15 min walk away. i hope they improve the cleanliness around the pool and we would defiantly return.

Great stay at Monte Santo, our apartment was spotlessly clean. Pool area is beautiful, kids pool was very safe and lots of sun loungers around it. Staff very friendly especially one of the bar men, didn’t catch his name (had tattoos and beard) he was very engaging with my little boy. We would definitely return.

We had a wonderful time at the Monte Santo resort. The apartment has absolutely everything needed for a family. It was spotlessly clean, and the bottle of wine was a nice touch. The staff are so fantastic, so friendly and helpful. My son loved the kids club, special thank you to Claudia for making his time there so much fun. We had an amazing holiday.
