my wife and I spent a week in monte canada and found the apartment brilliant for relaxing in a get away from it all environment - the apartment had all we could possibly need for the week including a welcome pack and full UK tv channels (beware the evening spanish channels) I would return exept that I prefer a shorter walk to the shops 20mins at least - local dogs that bark incessantly in the mornings and evenings - and the horrendous taxis fares back up the steep hill, a four minute ride costs between 7 and 9 euros. I would have hired a car had I known the problems.
We were urged to use Carlos car service from the airport to the apartment which would normally have cost 30 euros for the 30 minute drive but our flight was delayed and we were charged 50 euros to get to the apartment and 30 euros for the return. Carlos was a great guy and looked after us well but he was used to get us in to the apartment, give us the key and show us around - I feel that this service cost us extra and for this reason and for others listed we would not use the apartment again.
There is some building work going on behind the apartment but it is not invasive and did not cause us any problems.
Owner's Response: As owner of this property, I would like to respond to this review. Carlos has been a reliable taxi service for us and we trust him to sometimes let our guests into the apartment if we are unable to attend. He has obviously charged more for his services for this guest on arrival as the flight was delayed. He does not charge for letting people into the apartment. The nearest shops are on the beachfront which is a 10 - 15 min walk downhill. However for larger supermarkets you are better to go further into the centre of town by bus or car. We endeavour to make our guests as comfortable as possible and are sorry this did not happen on this occasion.
