I went on holiday to Carvoeiro with my mum in June 2008 and now I'm pining to go back! It was my first time in Portugal and I had an amazing time, the holiday was cheap but high quality. I think we were in apartment no.38, it was a T3 seaview apartment which I booked through the Monte Dourado website.... more

We have just returned from our first visit to the Algarve. We should have been staying at the Cerra Mar in Albufeira,but,3 days prior to leaving for our holiday Style holidays advised us that the Cerra Mar was fully booked and we were to stay in Carvoeiro. What a relief. We saw the location of the Cerra Mar hotel en... more

We have just returned from 11 nights in an apartment in Monte Dourado. Myself, husnand and kids 13 and 8. We normally stay in a villa with our own pool as we quite like the privacy but the children are of an age where they want to be with others of their own age. We were pleasantly surprised with the... more

Lots of towels provided as... more

We had a third floor three-bedroom apartment at the bottom of the Monte Dourado complex. The location was brilliant - right in the middle of the village, bus stop outside the door for adventures on the local buses and a pool immediately outside the rear of the apartment. The whole complex is spotlessly clean, maids came in four times over... more

We were surprised at how well the apartment was equipped. It is a two bedroom and two bathroom apartment and so it is good for couples or families. It was very comfortable and well furnished, complete with microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, DVD player and videos. We were close to one of the big pools but in a very quiet area... more

We rented an apartment in monte dourado privately, not from the complex itself, having seen it on the Carvcoeiro website. On arrival, we weren't impressed: a broken toilet; sticking patio doors, smelly washing machine, glass on the patio and a broken shutter. But- the bedrooms were clean, and the owner had provided a range of DVD's and some parasols. Cut... more

I stayed here with my boyfriend and we found it briliant, the reception staff are really helpful and happy to help with any questions. We had two bathrooms, two bedrooms, lounge, Kitchen and Balcony - all good sizes, cleaners came with fresh linen and towels, most days. We paid less about £320 each for the flights and accommodation, which is... more
