The customer service was excellent and I loved the aesthetic of the resort! On top of that the room was lovely and tidy and all the people working at the resort were very friendly. Would recommend!
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.
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!
We stayed 10 nights at Monte Santo resort in a one bed apartment.
Whilst we had a fantastic holiday, unfortunately the resort leaved alot to be desired for somewhere that claims to be 5 star.
The biggest letdown as many others have stated is the poor upkeep of the hotel. In our room alone we had electrics blowing eveytime we tried to cook, an electric board and exposed wires accessable to young children, an oven with no baking trays, a bath with no bath plug, multiple cigarette butts on the balcony (we don't smoke) and a door lock that routinely jammed.
In the wider hotel there were cracks and chips in the plaster board throughout and two bridges over the pool that were closed such as was their state of disrepair (although you could still swim under the bridges if you could dodge the multiple exposed nails hanging down).
The breakfast was adequate although exactly the same every day with no variety, we were warned off having lunch or dinner there by other guests although fortunately there are many great restaurants within a short driving distance nearby.
Despite my comments, this is to take nothing away from the vast majority of the staff there who were doing their best with a smile on their face in spite of the tools at their disposal and Claudia at the kids club was great.
Staff lovely , so helpful ! Room great very walkable to pool , lounge. Only thing is that nothing really walkable outside of resort, needed to drive to get to town etc.But would still stay here again!
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.
