Monte Dourado

The apartment is in a great location and is a good size with lots of essentials. the pool areas were clean and quiet with a few sunbeds. the apartment are up alot of steps and the whole complex is up very steep hills. the reception lady very kindly arranged for us to move to another apartment which was up slightly less steps but this complex is not really the place to stay if you have any mobility issues although taxis are available- there are still a number of steps to climb.

Loved staying here. Ladies in Reception helped me loads. Definitely recommend sea view balcony. Great apartment

Had a wonderful stay in summer 2023 so much so we are going back for summer 2924 ,accommodation was spotless with everything you would need ,went for a superior room with sea views that did not disappoint. The town and beach is about 5 minutes away down hill .and the sunsets are superb.

Property was in a great location with fantastic views of the town and it to sea. Beds were comfy but the bathrooms very tired and in need of refurbishment. Still has original fittings from the 1990s.

We spent a few days here in a studio over new year. The space was amazing. Everything you needed in the kitchen. A large garden and patio. Comfy bed. Friendly receptionist. Lovely town. Some great bars and restaurants nearby. We'd love to come back but the studio is up for sale. Plenty of people were making return visits too which is a great sign. 5 stars!

We stayed in no.82, which had a lovely view across all the village houses and a partial sea view. Sitting on the balcony was lovely, and the seagulls were quite entertaining! The apartment was very homely, and well equipped. It had a personal touch to it, with a stereo, cds, books and games...you name it, it had it all. The bedrooms and walk in showers, we're a delight, and it felt quite luxurious. Maids came in on every other day, to remove waste, and mop floors. No fresh bedding however. The pools are small and dotted around the resort. They don't have music, so nice and peaceful, though the usual bed reserving happens. Particularly from guests staying around the pool. There is a steep walk back up to the resort, but it isn't too far, just challenging in 30° heat perhaps! The only issue I had overall, due to some strong winds, was a window shutter from an empty apartment, that continuously blew and made a long bang, on a few nights, so sleep wasn't the best. Also some noisy neighbours which can't be avoided. I loved this place, it was a lovely break.

The hotel had a beautiful view of the beach, which my family really enjoyed. The Mount Duarado organization team provided excellent support and we especially appreciated the pool facilities. The receptionist was exceptional and gave great recommendations for places to visit. While the hotel was overall very friendly, it could benefit from some indoor facilities to provide entertainment and alleviate any potential boredom.

Booked through ***********. We could not see the apartment in advance as we were told it would be allocated to us on arrival. This was a bit of a concern as previous reviews referred to varying standards of apartment. The apartment we got was very spacious and had everything we needed in it. We had a late arrival and departure and this all went smoothly. It was easy to find and the instructions were clear. Plenty of free parking. As other reviewers mentioned there are minimal basic supplies provided, a roll of toilet paper, tiny soap, 1 dishwasher tablet, one bottle of water which was welcome for the late arrival. We left a lot of the basics behind as I'm sure others do so I think they could leave those for visitors as a gesture and at zero cost to them. eg washing powder, salt etc. There are pools for each 'block' of the complex. The pools are clean and nice, not huge, one with a deep end and a shallow one for smallies. There were good sturdy and comfortable deckchairs provided and were never too busy when we were there. Good decent sized pool towels provided with our apartment.. Our apartment was a little dated and could do with a little facelift like myself but it was clean and comfortable and a good size. The single beds in the second room were deemed a bit uncomfortable by the kids but the double was fine The balcony furniture was not great being the white plastic type and the cushions very basic/plastic-y The location is great. Five mins walk into the town. 10 to the beach. The hills and steps all over the place make this unsuitable for those with mobility issues. The town is nice with the usual bars, restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops. The beach is within walking distance of the apartments but there are nicer beaches close by. There are fabulous views from the hills on either side of the beach and a sunset walk on the boardwalk is a must do. The rooms were cleaned regularly during our stay which was great as we thought this was only to be done once in our 13 night stay. All in all a good location.

Lovely apartments in great location. Had everything we needed. Good value.
