Stayed four nights at Parque Monte Verde and had a wonderful time. The check-in was quick and easy, the reception office is on the right side as one driver thru the gate. Mirita the receptionist was friendly and spoke good English before I told her that I was fluent in Portuguese. She gave us the key, wifi pass, security code for the gate after hours, map of the community grounds and if any issues to let her know (we had no issues). The one bedroom apartment on the second level was clean and comfortable, full kitchen and view of the ocean with lovely views of the sunset.The apartment is cleaned every day except weekends, new towels and trash empty. There is a small market called Ocean Supermarket within a five minute walk that has everything one needs including wine and beer at great prices also has a coffee shop. The coastline is still a 5 minute drive and a car is recommended for exploring the wonderful beaches and caves of the Algarve coast. I would definitely consider staying at Parque Monte Verde on my next visit.
