Monte Santo

Post by Lamby »

Hi all. We are returning to CVO for our second visit in May / June 2011. As a treat to my wife and friend ( and myself!! ) I was considering booking a spa treatment day at Monte Santo in CVO. Has anyone any experiences, good, bad or indifferent about this complex. Can I book a day's treatment if we are not actually staying at Monte Santo? Any help appreciated. :P

I suspect that they will grab any opportunity to make some money.

Hi. Many thanks to all. In terms of being local I think Monte Santo and Alba Suites are probably the best. Excuse my ignorance and lack of memory.... is Albanderia Beach just along the coast from CVO? Thanks again all x :lol:

Do you know if it's possible to have a couple of hours entry into any of the resorts just to use facilities like the pools/sauna/steam room etc, without taking the spa treatments? Also, would anyone know the cost of this? I have been looking on the websites of the resorts mentioned above but they don't seem to advertise such an offer. I'm coming to CVO with my partner this weekend.

Thanks

Mack, I know a day pass at Vale d'Oliveiras was €10 last summer for use of the pool, sauna and gym, but best check this is still the case

I believe you can use Monte Santo on a daily basis. From memory it was around Euro 15 but best to check at reception.
