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

We stayed here for a week from 5 June and had a lovely holiday. The apartments were clean and spacious and the kitchen had everything you would want to cook a full meal or just lunch or breakfast. The part of the complex we stayed in only had 12 apartments sharing a pool and this was always clean with enough... more

Highly recommended! We stayed in the Monte Dourado apartments on 2 occasions, the first in Dec 2003, and we were so impressed, we went back in Dec 2004. Excellent spacious accommodation, right by the poolside (although the pool was too cold to contemplate in Dec!), well equipped, clean. Reception staff were very helpful. Carvoeiro is very quiet at that time... more

We stayed at the MD apartments in October, and the weather was lovely. We managed to get a cheapie last minute deal and took the chance. Our apartment was great, it has two nice big bedrooms, two bathrooms, a newly fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine (bring your own detergents!) - We got a complimentary bottle of water which... more

We stayed in a two bedroom villa overlooking the fishing village of Carvoeiro. The quaint town is alive with shops and great restaurants, and the seafood is so fresh. But the most spectacular part of this area, are the beaches. No-where else will you get the caves, and grottos, and perfect view of land and ocean. All my friends that... more
