Monte Santo, Carvoeiro: "Kids On Us" - Kids Eat, Play & Stay Free

With respect to the regional monthly occupancy figures, the Algarve Tourism Board keeps on registering lower figures in comparison to last year. May 2009 in Carvoeiro / Armação de Pêra saw occupancies drop by 31%, while more specifically the 5-star hotels and aparthotels showed for a decrease of a staggering 38,8%!

To counter balance this we thought of bringing you some positive news and offer you a family escape to the Beach with a stay Monte Santo, Carvoeiro.
Monte Santo welcomes families this month with its "Kids On Us" offer that allows children under 12 years old to eat, play and stay free.

During June 2009, "Kids On Us" offers savings for families including extra bed in the parents' room for up to two children at no additional cost and complimentary breakfast, lunch and dinner from the resort's children's menu. Various recreational facilities such as full use of the Planet Junior Kid’s Club, swimming pools, tennis courts and dedicated daily activities can be enjoyed at no charge.

Kids On Us' represents exceptional value, making this month an ideal time for families planning a holiday in the Algarve.
