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!
