Reviews for Monte Santo Resort
Review 1:Dinner (1x) and breakfast (2x) was not up to a 5 star facility Told (reception) that air conditioning either worked on the living room or bedroom. And we found it switched off for no reason 4-5 h later: At this time of the year it was rather unpleasant. The flat boasted a domotics screen visibly for the clients but only used by the maintenance staff For the swimming pool towels with holes? At the reception PR was somewhat defective - if they ignore the reason it is not worth explaining.
Review 2:The design of the lake connecting architecturally with the swimming pool The view from the bedroom balcony was quite pleasant Nevertheless the whole structure was slightly claustrophobic - surrounded by the Carvoeiro village. Renting a bike meant cycling around a small limited circle
Review 3:The hotel was not suitable for people with mobility issues and it said that it was, my father was in a wheelchair and it was virtually impossible to use a wheel chair outside of the main building due to the cobbles. Also some information was incorrect , on booking .com it said that the hotel offered a fee shuttle bus to Villamoura and this was not the case, unfortunately this was one of the reasons we chose the hotel.
Review 4:The staff were friendly and helpful
Review 5:Nothing
Review 6:Stayed in two bed villa accommodation was clean and very comfortable, facilities excellent, staff excellent A treatment in the spa is a must do had a massage and facial can't wait to go back next year again!!
Review 7:The cleaning of the houses is random during the Day. This is not customer friendly.Sometimes Early and sometimes late.
Review 8:The Friesland staffelprijzen and comfort.
Review 9:We stayed one night in September in Monte Santo. This was the first time we failed to get the room of the right category which we had reserved through Booking.com. When we left I could check all the details in the original confirmation e mail. The room should have been in the main building (Club House) with VIP amenities. The room we got was far away from the main building. It is pitty because we wanted to enjoy the best what this pleasant resort and its friendly staff can offer and possibly come again.
Review 10:Overall it was great but a minor gripe, Apartments are stocked with basics but could use some more equipment.No sweeping brushes, or grill pans provided in apartments.
Review 11:Fantastic swimming pools, lovely accommodation. Pleasant staff- lovely stay!
Review 12:I felt the attention to detail in relation to cleaning on the external stairways and windows could be improved for a five star resort. The shuttle service to the town could be more frequent.
Review 13:Great pool facilities and very good kid's club.
Review 14:Restaurant staff very, very, poor, could only get any attention if we went to the bar and asked for someone to come to our table to take food order. I would guess the staff had never been trained ? lot of staff sitting around talking to each other !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is definitely not a 5 Star resort, 3 Star at the very best, attention to detail by the staff very poor. We lived at Pestana, Gramacho, for past 10 years and saw Monte Santo being developed over the years so we are aware of other alternatives eg Vale d'Oliveiras which is much nearer a 4/5 Star.
Review 15:Overall good value for money with good facilities Our apartment overall very good
Review 16:For a five star dinner was average. Probably more for families that young couples. Lots of young kids and babies.
Review 17:The pool was nice, quiet and clean. Accommodation was clean and in good condition. Parking on-site. Quiet location but would need a car to comfortably get around. Gluten free options for lunch and dinner.
Review 18:It was like being in a goldfish bowl, if you are looking for privacy its not for you. The location was poor, no view and no beach to walk to.
Review 19:Comfortable bed
Review 20:WiFi was good and reliable and no limit on number of devices but Internet strength was not good so not possible to stream or download very easily, if at all.
Review 21:Spacious resort which is immaculately maintained with plenty of staff who offer very good service. 6 Euro taxi each way into the village where you had a good choice of restaurants and bars and a small beach.
Review 22:One scream--they all scream!Children everywhere. The swimming pool was filled with children and pool water quality was questionable.Breakfast proved to be too noisy and dangerous (running, stumbling children & strollers everywhere) to get to a plate, much less food.Sitting on the balcony was very unpleasant due to screams echoing off the walls as children played on the lawns or in the pool area. Quiet in the room, not really. Running feet and tears left, right, below and on the stairs.Misleading advertising: Look at the photos the resort uses. See any photos of children in the pools, rooms or on the lawns? One written sentence includes "family resort".Five stars: No. Spacious rooms, yes.Clean: No. When we arrived our room wasn't ready and we were sent downstairs. On a visit to the restroom that services the pool and restaurant I found overflowing toilets (complete with fecal material) and "water" in the stalls and on the rest room floor. It was being tracked onto the pool deck, into the pool, the hallways, to the restaurant and upstairs.The upstairs waiting area, full of chrome and glass, was covered with fingerprints of the small variety. Cleaning that area clearly wasn't a priority.I complained to Booking.com, they called the hotel (four times) and didn't get a response. When I spoke to management I was told they hadn't heard from Booking. Further, if we didn't eat the breakfast (and we didn't) or didn't join the screaming children at the possibly contaminated pool or open the deck doors to the exterior, oh well, the "amenities" were available to us. I requested a credit for breakfast and the problems with the "facilities" and was told NO.Basically, we left in the morning to play golf; returned to shower then went out to dinner (and NOT at the resort).Value: No. I booked a romance package with breakfast.
Review 23:The best part of the hotel was the size of the room. Furnishings were three star, but the bed/sheets were good quality.
Review 24:Slightly too far to walk into town and back regularly, had a hire car so not bad for us but guess it would be a pain with no car. Taxi was 6-8 e to get back at night so not to bad.
Review 25:everything was pretty good, town house was superb with older kids, plenty of space and soundproofed!! Also extra pool beside apartment was used more than the main pool by the kids.
Review 26:The wifi in the room was weak. The bar & restaurant lacked atmosphere so most people go to town every evening. Last shuttle bus to town is at 6 which leaves you at the mercy of the poor local taxi service or 20 minute walk (ok downhill on the way into town but up a steep hill coming back)
Review 27:This is a lovely complex with spacious, well-maintained accommodation. The swimming pool and its suroundings is very big with plenty of loungers. There is a decent gym, indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi which are an unexpected bonus.
Review 28:Was very hard to find, should be more signs of hotel in town. Water temperature in the pools should be warmer, especially that the resort is usually windier than downtown or coast Carvoeiro. Jacuzzi was also not hot enough at times. Breakfast was always the same and not very big selection.
Review 29:Looks wonderful, very speciouos and hugh appartments. Inside pool was nice. Lots of sunbeds at the pools.
Review 30:Suggestion ! - if you have younger children in a buggy you would need a car or get taxi returns back from village - going down is not a problem.
Review 31:Friendly staff and very a helpful concierge desk at reception. Rooms very clean and spacious,comfortable beds etc
Review 32:Nothing in particular. We walked into the centre in 15mins but it is a long walk back. I suggest they put on a courtesy bus a couple of evenings in the week and through the day for the beach run
Review 33:the apartment we had was not over looked - room 9 and we didn't share a balcony. It was very spacious. We arrived late on the Friday and were welcomed into the restaurant although they were stopping service in 10mins. reception staff were very helpful.
Review 34:the children's menu is good and the food was well done and tasty, for a 5 star resort, i'm not sure that the adult menu both buffet and A la Carte quite matches this, it was good but not exceptional.
Review 35:The resort is superb, townhouses were excellent with a great layout and lots of privacy, the private pools with the townhouses were also fantastic if you didn't want the bustle of the main pool, however this was never too busy and there were always loungers available. the local beer and wine were good and the fruit and vegetables in the area were absolutely delicious. the Waiting and Bar staff were excellent, really friendly and great with the children too.
Review 36:Food was just OK, crazy wind in the place due to being on a hill and near the sea (not much they can do about that, but makes coming out of pools by villa very cold at times)
Review 37:Fantastic pools, well equipped villa, very helpful staff.
Review 38:Bandwith WiFi. Equipment of kitchen can be somewhat better.
Review 39:Very beautiful and well-located resort. Nice staff. Apartments are large, modern and well-kept. Especially the daily cleaning service is remarkable! The resort changes in 2015 from wired internet to WiFi (!), good step. Bandwith of WiFi is a bit too small though.
Review 40:NICE LITTLE WALK BACK AT NIGHT TIME IF YOU WENT INTO THE VILLAGE, LAST SHUTTLE BUS WENT BACK TO EARLY TO THE HOTEL
Review 41:FANTASTIC ACCOMODATION, EXCELLENT BREAKFAST, NO SHORTAGE OF BEDS BY THE POOL, FRIENDLY STAFF
Review 42:the resturant food could do with a re-think, a proper lunchtime snack bar would make them a fortune
Review 43:excellent resort for young families- great pool and good atmosphere
Review 44:Family friendly, lovely location, well kept, great combination of self catering with cleaning and room service combined, variety of pools, spacious and well kept accommodation. Loved it!
Review 45:Location is a issue, so good to have a car. The kids club cancelled a few things from the timetable. The kitchen could have a few more essentials which you don't have to buy. Lastly the restaurant staff both years have been slow. Also the menu really is not very family friendly. The restaurant goes against the vibe of the resort. So better to make it more child friendly.
Review 46:We stayed here for the second time, the resort is fantastic for children. The staff very friendly and perfect place for a week holiday.
Review 47:The 2 bed suite was wonderful, spotless & in great condition. Everywhere was beautifully clean. Ate in the restaurant one evening, good was great. We always managed to get on the shuttle bus. Surprise cake for me on my birthday!
Review 48:Stuck on this question
Review 49:Everything, from Staff to Facilities to Food. The Villa was extremely comfortable and very very clean. Lovely individual pools near villa with a super main pool area. Nice and quiet. Will return again.
Review 50:no cushions for sunbeds and no frying pan in kitchen and for anyone looking for a quite holiday this is not the place too many children which is ok for some but not for me.
Review 51:the comfort and the facilities are great could not fault it .
Review 52:Our deluxe apartment was fantastic, spacious and modern with a large balcony and a large double sunbed. Our cleaners were excellent, they came in daily. We were a mature couple so there were too many kids for us but if I had kids I would go to Monte Santo in a heartbeat. You will need a car to explore but Carviero is a short walk and there are loads of restaurants.
Review 53:Last free shuttle into town was at 6pm. This should be later to accommodate people going out for dinner. Kitchen kit of washing up liquid, cloths, dishwasher tabs were €7.50.. These things should be provided free of charge. Food in restaurant of poor quality and over priced.
Review 54:Pool and villa were nice. Carvoeiro town was a vibrant little spot, and all the meals we had in restaurants there were excellent.
Review 55:I can honestly say there is not one thing we can complain about - even the weather was fantastic!
Review 56:We loved everything about the resort from the quality and size of the accommodation, the superb facilities, excellent restaurant serving great food and wine at very reasonable prices. Great service from very attentive staff.
Review 57:Would definitely recommend a car as no footpath a lot of the way from hotel to village,so dangerous for kids.
Review 58:Lovely apartments,great for kids. Lovely heated in door pool. Staff were great with kids especially the girl who was doing the Face painting ,hairstyles and manicures for children in the evening time.we had two very happy little girls!
Review 59:only complaint is they could do with a shop there as the nearest supermarket was too far away too walk.
Review 60:the house we stayed in was fantastic as were the staff the facilities and the restaurant.
Review 61:We booked a suite but they upgraded us to a townhouse. It was a really spacious, clean and comfortable house. With everything we needed to have a relaxing holiday . The staff was very friendly and helpfull! We had an even better stay than expected!
Review 62:Poolside relaxation not guaranteed, also Indoor pool usage unless you don't mind being surrounded by noisy children. Staff not very helpful, waiter seemed stressed and Reception staff not very professional ...Hotel a bit far from seaside
Review 63:High Quality Resort lovely spread out, modern facilities, Romantic Suit outstanding huge terrace with outside bed, lovely Pool side setting, free shuttle service to the town and beach.
Review 64:We had a wonderful stay just after Easter. The facilities are stunning and every member of staff was helpful, friendly and smiling. Had a massage for a sore back....wonderful.
Review 65:Rules in the restaurant were unaccommodating where it comes to children. Long walk to the beach. Kids club wasn't great but they still had brilliant holiday.
Review 66:Facilities, accommodation, staff very friendly except restaurant.
Review 67:The resort is more than the 1km from the centre of the village however is only around 4/5 euros for a taxi They also lay on buses to the village and the beach
Review 68:The apartment was beautifully equipped with all new modern furnishings and well appointed bathrooms. Overall the resort is maintained to a high standard and the staff from reception to pool bar and dining were all very attentive.
Review 69:Only issue my be shop on site but as there is one 2 min away, it was no big deal
Review 70:I loved everything about Monte Santo, really good value, great location for everywhere you would need to go, am hour away from everywhere or 2 min away from great restaurants and shops
Review 71:Nice indoor and outdoor swimming pool, big appartment. Allround good resort. We got the groundfloor appartment with pool view, which was very handy with a baby and small children. They even gave us a complimentary birthday cake. Good restaurants and beaches nearby. O salmoa is a perfect restaurant just 3 min drive.
Review 72:What a beautiful experience and to be honest, it's great value for money and I'm naturally a saver I couldn't fault this in anyway- I can't say I'm easily pleased either
Review 73:Nada a apontar de relevante.
Review 74:Simpatia e profissionalismo do pessoal. Foram todos, sem excepção, muito disponíveis e calorosos. Conforto da casa. Qualidade - preço.
Review 75:We could not find a fault .
Review 76:Everything from minute we checked in to checkout .Friendly helpfull staff .Amazing bed linen , Cleaning service were fantastic and lovely friendly ladies .
Review 77:The only thing I didn't like is that are room was over a generator or something which buzzed all the time which I found slightly annoying so I would just ask for a different room when I stay again
Review 78:All the staff were very helpful and friendly, couldn't do enough for you. Food was nice in restaurant for lunch and had a really good drinks selection. Would highly recommend this hotel
Review 79:We got a complaint about moving furniture around making loud noises disturbing the room underneath us. It was the chairs when we got in and out that made really loud noise which we werent aware off. However, one of the receptionist came pointing fingers at us telling us that we were being loud and told us that he will call the police if this happens again. Me a my friends apoligise to the guest but he should not have point at us and tell us off infront off other guest. This is very unprofessional!
Review 80:The resort overall was very nice. The breakfast was good and the facilities was amazing! In door pool, sauna and turkish bath. There is also a gym and playroom which me and my friends really enjoyed.
Review 81:No people in the restaurant, no effort was made to entice customers to eat in the restaurant no daily specials etc Menu was very very bland.
Review 82:The apartment size and design
Review 83:Only "negative" was no BBC tv but this minor in comparison.
Review 84:Very welcoming and friendly staff and facilities. Apartment was ideal and very well equipped and comfortable. A really enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to recommend this resort to anybody.
Review 85:The ipod dock didn't work in the living room. Other properties nearby are better for the views, but this place has better accommodations.
Review 86:The pools at this resort are amazing. The two bedroom suite was incredibly spacious and had a full kitchen and two full bathrooms
Review 87:Nothing major. Some minor issues but not worth mentioning.
Review 88:The resort is very clean and beautiful. It elated our mood the moment we arrived. The staff is extremely polite and helpful. The facilities and service are superb. We went in 2nd week of December. It was off season, so good value for money, but still much warmer and brighter than the UK and in fact wondered why this is an off season with such a lovely weather! In fact we enjoyed the lack of crowd on the roads and beaches. Hiring a car is a must to explore beautiful beaches around and the location of this resort is ideal to see algarve.
Review 89:Nothing at all.
Review 90:Peace and quiet, perhaps because of staying late in the season. Staff very friendly. Accommodation very clean, cleaning staff most friendly and flexible. Breakfast buffet as to be expected in an international hotel. Restaurant, bar... clean, spacious, staff very friendly. Pool and pool area : fantastic.
Review 91:no where to local to buy tea milk coffee
Review 92:Accomadatiom really comfy and all the modern comforts you could want. Wonderful swimming pool and indoor facilities
Review 93:My only negative would be the walk into Carvoeiro was a bit of a killer coming back, views are worth it though.
Review 94:From the day we arrived to the day we left we were made to feel so welcome and relaxed, the resort is beautiful and quiet, great for families young and old, we had breakfast included and we couldn't have asked for more one of the best buffet breakfasts we have had :)
Review 95:A little difficult to find the first time
Review 96:spacious, not really a hotel, a timeshare with villas/condos. staff were beyond helpful nice buffet breakfast was 8 euros
Review 97:Absolutely nothing to mention
Review 98:I would really recommend Monte Santo for families with children - huge private area with everything you need if you come with baby, huge "room" (actually a big living room and a bedroom), fully equipped kitchen, all appliances. Not far (by car) from all Carvoeira tourist places, supermarkets, beaches etc... We really enjoyed!
Review 99:Ideally need a car as not walking distance to the town or beaches. There are local restaurants you can reach.
Review 100:We were upgraded to a beautiful, well appointed, 2 bed apartment, which had everything you could need for a very comfortable stay. Fabulous gym and indoor pool if you wanted to exercise.
Review 101:Having to pay to use a computer at reception, the walk from one end of the complex to the other is equivalent to the walk into Carvoeiro, describes itself as a 15min walk into town, that's ambitious!
Review 102:Apartment was nice, lovely welcome on arrival, facilities were excellent
Review 103:The only issues I had were: 1. Not having wifi access in the resort apartments. 2. You were charged for any cleaning and washing products required for the apartments as they were not provided, which is necessary even though it would be cleaned daily.
Review 104:Firstly, the space, cleanliness and modern decor of the apartments. Secondly, the outside pool area and spa treatments available were ideal for a relaxing holiday which is what I needed. In addition, the staff were very helpful with any queries we had, whether about the resort or places to visit within the Algarve district.
Review 105:Lacking basics (not even one tea bag or coffee, starter package dor 7, 5€ to be bought to have a sponge for example!). This should be included in a 5* hotel or increase the price accordingly as annoying. This would be of more use than a radio in each room including the toilet!
Review 106:Very nicely appointed and decorated appointments, large pool area.
Review 107:We first stayed at monte santo a few years ago and agreed that we would love to come back again if we ever had kids. Well, that's just what we did in early September with our 5 month old. The resort is great. The apartments are well equipped and the pool, restaurant and bar areas are really nice. Lunch at the pool was pricey but to be fair was quite nice. We cooked dinner a few nites in the apartment. On the other nites we put our daughter in the buggy and headed to the restaurants that are about 20 minutes walk from the side entrance to the resort. This little collection of restaurants are similar in their offering and pretty much the same quality as you can get in the main town so it was perfect for us. Staff are friendly and the resort is very well maintained. My only gripe is that their is no wifi which for the price of the stay is a little bit annoying. Overall, can't wait to go back next year.
Review 108:sofas in suite were uncomfortable ala carte menu was not available for room service tv channels were poor not a good dvd collection no poolside waiting service pool bar closed in september
Review 109:Like minded families with little ones room service and self catering combined Clean and safe environment Clean towels daily and turn down service Quiet and relaxed Spa bath Great views from balcony
Review 110:The restaurant was poor. Not enough staff, drab and dreary, limited choice of food, and food quality not 5 star.
Review 111:Stayed in one of the 2 bed suites. Perfectly big enough for the 3 of us. Clean, pleasant layout with nice patio area. Kitchen facilities easily sufficient although we chose to eat out for most meals. Lots of resorts/towns/beaches nearby to visit but also lovely to spend day by wonderful pool. Hotel generally highly recommended.
Review 112:We were staying in a 2 bed suite, it was very large and could accomadate us perfectly, we were travelling with 2 small kids and found the grounds secure and the facilities for young kids (2-3yrs) really good. The apartment was cleaned (spotless) everyday which was great and there was no shortage of towels/beach towels. The walk into town was approx 15-20 mins but it was a nice walk. Maybe next time might hire car but apart from this would not fault the resort in any way
Review 113:The sun loungers were reserved with a towel all day despite the rules. Poor lunchtime choices in restaurant. Our room was near the kids club, so it was quite noisy in the mornings. House Cleaning was done too late, after 4pm.
Review 114:The staff, the pool, the cleanliness and quality of the room. Would have been ideal when our children were young.
Review 115:Apartment was a little tired. On arrival the sofa cushions were soaking wet. Obviously the previous guests had had an accident! Door under sink was loose and the balcony furniture needed re varnished. Cracked tiles at the pool area To maintain the well earned 5* status the hotel needs to ensure that regular maintenance work is carried out even in the busy season.
Review 116:This was our 4th visit to Monte Santo And it didn't fail to live up to our expectations. The accommodation is wonderful, combining the best of self catering with the benefits of a hotel complex. We opted for breakfast included and it was excellent. We would certainly return on future visits to Carvoiero.
Review 117:In the apartment there is a need for better access to TV channels.Even if there was the facility to pay for sky movies this would be a positive.
Review 118:Resort fab. Spotlessly clean. Staff excellent couldn't do enough for you. Apartment excellent ideal .
Review 119:Can not fault anything.
Review 120:The attention to detail in all aspects. It was my husbands birthday and he was presented with a cake. We were up graded upon arrival. The location was near enough to town but away from the hustle and bustle which meant the resort was perfect to relax and the kids were very well catered for. Excellent pool and always room around it. It food was top quality including the kids menu.
Review 121:We thought we were booking a 5 star hotel, in reality, Monte Santo is a self catering resort and does not have the services available at a 5 star hotel. Our lovely balcony was not really useable during the daytime as there was no shade/umbrella (or recliner) available. A simple awning or umbrella would have enabled guests to sit outside and enjoy the lovely weather in comfort. The other negative for us was that the room wasn't cleaned until mid-late afternoon, just when one wanted a siesta and the laundry service was somewhat eccentric. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this may not be the place for you, but if you want a pleasant high standard self catering experience then this is definitely a good place.
Review 122:The staff at this quiet, attractive and well located resort were, in the main, absolutely delightful. Our room (a luxury suite) was spacious and well equipped with a lovely sunny balcony.
Review 123:The food is not what you expect of a 5 star hotel Rooms are done around 17h which is not always convenient
Review 124:The rooms were comfortable The resort is outstanding
Review 125:Just home from a weeks stay. We did have a car shuttle service needs increased during busy months as taxis in short supply due to location. Resort itself okay but could be doing with upgrading and supermarket on site would be good. I would not recommend this resort .
Review 126:On arrival the 5 people behind the reception desk ignored us, despite there being no one else waiting to check in. First impression was therefore poor. Waiting staff also too busy chatting to each other to bring wine list etc. Whilst most of the staff were pleasant, the service was not what you would expect for a 5 star resort. This left a nice apartment in a fairly soul-less resort and not very good service. I would go elsewhere.
Review 127:The accommodation was excellent
Review 128:Not a criticism but it is advisable to have a car particularly to purchase supplies as there is no shop on-site. Food in the complex is only average although take-away pizzas are lovely.
Review 129:Monte Santo is a lovely, clean, safe and secure resort. The pool area is very well maintained as are the lovely gardens. Loved the night time wildlife sounds. The pool itself is large, spotless and never overcrowded. The pool staff is friendly and ever so helpful. The luxury family suites are really spacious, clean and well equipped. House keeping respond quickly to any requests. An ideal place for a lovely relaxing holiday.
Review 130:Wasn't overly impressed with "Trainee Receptionist" on initial contact .
Review 131:Our booking was made through " My booking.com" By using the above , Rates value for money. Apart from Trainee Receptionist the rest of the staff were very professional .
Review 132:nothing
Review 133:Large 2 floor, townhouse, ample room for 4, AC in every room, fully equipped kitchen, quality food at the restaurant. Very pleasant stay. Would visit again
Review 134:Our apartment was not very well equipped and I think they should probably do an inventory,as in 5 star resorts you shouldn't have to ask for every thing you need i.e we had one knife in the knife block, two mugs,scissors that did not work and generally not very well appointed the general overall appearance was a bit unkempt for 5 stars.our balcony glass had children's hand prints all over it, I think they may have been short staffed or under staffed , the food was ok,just ok nothing special, and the pool areas very noisy with young children most if the time.More info could be given about the resort and surrounding areas and if your in the apartments near to the Brooke it's very noisy with frogs so you need to put your air conditioning on to drown out the noise, defiantly not a 5 star more like 4.
Review 135:Location, daily clean towels , beds and bed linen, great pool .
Review 136:The whole resort was a fantastic relaxing place to be! Staff could not of done more for you.
Review 137:No iron nor ironing board,
Review 138:The pool and facilities
