Had the most amazing holiday here in May 2025. Beautiful resort. Exemplary service in the restaurant,bar, room cleaning, reception anywhere you name it. We are vegetarians but still we hardly had to leave the resort as delicious and customized food was easily available. They even left a surprise birthday cake and drink in the room. Apartments was spacious and well serviced, cleaned every single day. Loved the tranquility the resort offered with the beach and town being a mere 15 min walk away. All in all a fabulous experience. Hope to return some day.

A Wonderful Stay Made Even More Memorable by Exceptional Care
This was our third visit to Carvoeiro and our second time staying at Monte Santo Resort – and once again, it reminded us exactly why we love coming back. The resort is beautiful, the location is perfect, and the team truly goes above and beyond to make every stay special.
During this visit, our daughter unfortunately injured her foot and required stitches – not the kind of holiday moment any parent wants to deal with. But the way the staff at Monte Santo responded was absolutely outstanding and turned a difficult situation into something positive.
A heartfelt thank you goes to Mariana, who was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring throughout our stay. Her support made a big difference and truly stood out.
We were also deeply touched by the thoughtfulness of the wider team. Everyone from the reception staff to housekeeping asked after our daughter and offered help in every way they could.
Despite the unexpected twist to our holiday, Monte Santo helped make it a memorable and positive experience. We’re so grateful for the care and professionalism shown, and we’ll absolutely be returning again.
Highly recommended – not just for the beautiful setting and facilities, but for the incredible people who make it truly special.

We are here with a group from Canada for a month long stay vacation. So far, our first impressions have been very favourable. It’s a beautiful resort the staff we have encountered speak English and are very friendly and helpful. If there is an issue with your room, there is very prompt service.
The rooms are showing some signs of wear and tear as there are gouges or scratches on the backs of closet doors where doors have bumped against each other.
Instructions are provided for use of the various appliances but are still tricky to follow. Reception could make it a point to tell guests where to find these instructions.
We were missing ice cube trays which would have been nice to have. I’m not keen on buying any and then packing them in my suitcase. I feel these should have been included.
There is a restaurant on site that serves delicious food but we found the prices to be too high. A cafe type menu would have been appreciated.
Overall, it looks like we will have a wonderful experience exploring the area and enjoying our vacation.

We got a pool view villa. It is a bit far from the restaurant and main pool, not very far in terms of distance, but far in terms of a hotel. Around 5+ minutes walk. The pool outside the villa is very small. So it is a fake pool view villa :D
Space in the villa is amazing, large rooms with a large bathroom in each. The sleeping rooms are upstairs. There is also a small toilet downstairs.
The staff are super friendly
The location is a bit far from other places, so it's better to have a car.
What is nice is that there is a heated indoor pool, there is also a small GYM.
Air conditioning in the GYM is very weak, also the GYM is very small and cramped, equipments are very little.
The villa has a nice outside balcony on both the ground floor and second floor. Turning on the AC was a bit tricky, I asked someone from the staff for help. It turns out there is a trick, all unites needs to have the same mode, so he went over all the units and set them the same then it started to work.
I would recommend this place, very nice for families or groups of friends.
