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

Stayed in Monte Dourado from 12th to 26th July 2008. We stayed in the upper level - Mimosa. Apartment was very well kitted out with everything you would need - microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, CD Player, DVD player etc. Maid service every week day - made the beds, washed the floors, took out the rubbish. Lots of towels provided as... more

Monte Dourado Apartments Myself, and my partner stayed in the Monte Dourado Apartments for one week in July. We stayed in a two bedroomed apartment. First of all the Monte Dourado Apartments are on a large complex made up of 109 apartments, spread over a fairly large area. Max 3 storeys, although most are only ground and first floor. There... 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

I stayed here from 2nd - 9th September and it was one of the best holidays I have had. The rooms were spacious and clean, the maid service was great, she even did our washing up one day. Although the pool was small it was quiet, although I my holiday overlapped with a group of young girls who thought nothing... more

We booked the appartment directly with the owner and were very impressed with the standard of accommodation. The rooms were large and well-presented, we had direct access to a pool and the complex was very clean and well-maintained. It was a short walk down hill into Carvoeiro which is a pleasant enough village but I did think it could do... more
