Porto Santo hotels

Pros: I absolutely loved everything about Vila Baleira, from the staff the service, the location the 5 starts amenities

Pros: Dunas restaurant food was very good. The beach bar was very nice. Beach and location is amazing, too bad this hotel does not know how to benefit from this.

Cons: We had the all inclusive plus package but basically we had to find out by ourselves what we can benefit from since the receptionist that checked us in did not give us any, but any, information, she gave us a printed piece of paper with basic info 1. Turns out you do not need to go outside in the street to get to the beach, there is a tunnel 2. Turns out that the sun chairs are assigned per room and you cannot sit elsewhere (and we occupied someone else’s) 3. Turns out that the second restaurant, Dunas, does offer proper food (receptionist said, don’t go there, is not proper meal); it’s actually much better than Atlntico 4. Turns out that even if you make reservation to the Dunas restaurant you cannot eat sushi and have to make special reservation for sushi; too late when we found out 5. Turns out we can eat for free in town one night at a local restaurant, we found out from booking 6. Turns out we have a free excursion 7. Turns out we have a menu with selected beverages; if you don’t know about it, nobody tells you 8. Turns out we can use the spa for free All in all we were somewhat frustrated at times, I could say we did not feel welcome by staff, I see that somehow this hotel has high ratings but I cannot share the opinions here. The majority of the guests were portuguese so the language barrier might have had a role as well. Staff needs proper training.

Pros: Villa Baliera was the perfect winter break for us but I can imagine that it is just as wonderful as a Summer destination. Staff at all points were friendly and engaging. The hotel has a beach front location and excellent facilities. I have no hesitation recommending this hotel.

Pros: All inclusive was really good . The pool bar service was good , access to a fabulous beach

Cons: The hike from main building to the apartments No entertainment

Pros: The breakfast was good. Indoor swimming facilities. Spatious room. The location right at the beach was nice, although preferably during summer season.

Cons: The gym was in a poor condition. It was not cleaned under the bed for a while, we found an old sock. Body lotion was not available in the rooms and not on request in tge reception either, which was annoying after using the indoor swimming pool.

Pros: Everything was great, and the variety of breakfast was just amazing. I really enjoyed the view from the balcony.

Cons: The apartment itself has seen better days, but still everything was clean and functional. The Staff could offer a bit more guidance how to find the right apartment (it was quite confusing).

Pros: If you are looking for an absolute perfection, this may not be your place. Basic by design and quite dated, this place however blends with the surrounding landscape and caters perfectly for all your needs, and apart from food and drink provides you with an access to those magical waters and the endless sandy beach. The receptionists are very welcoming and handle any request with a nice smile. The food is adequate. (In the low season) the guests were not noisy and soundproofing was OK.

Cons: Only half of the suits with sea view have the advertised two balconies, and only have of those deliver a good sea view. Panoramic sea view is simply impossible due to the opposite building. If you are after a reasonable sea view, rather than extra space, just go for a sea view room, as rooms are quite spacious anyway. Bring your own slippers, as the floor is tiled throughout.

Pros: Thank you so much for a very good and so comfortable time in your place. I loved everything and I would have stayed longer (after I extended already 3 times) if the coronavirus wouldn't have appeared.... I will come back- for sure!!!!

Pros: The people were the best, everybody was soo friendly! The location was perfect: walkable to the centre but far enough to be quiet and at the beach. The price/quality was awesome (maybe due to low season). Very quiet, they gave me an early check in and a late check out for free. The food was very nice, they have a vegetarian menu as well, I love everything about that place!

Pros: Clean, good shower facilities, good breakfast. Convenient for golf . Only 20 min walk to town centre.

Cons: Truly awful broadband. Too weak to be measured, stopped spontaneously despite there being 5 servers. Virtually useless. No lift. To use indoor pool in spa was charged for. Gym is basic. Cold, both physically and atmospherically. Water ingress during heavy rainfall. The hotel is outdated, needs refurbishment and redecoration.

Pros: Location and style of the hotel

Pros: Great location and breakfast

Pros: The location is fantastic, 1st line, 1 minute to the ocean, beautiful territory with wild bunnies running around in the evenings. Hotel has a bar almost on the beach line and you can enjoy your coffee looking at the ocean and lizards are running around... Fantastic place. I enjoyed very much!

Cons: Limited wi-fi in the rooms(

Pros: The grounds and the pool

Cons: Cold meals when they should've been hot

Pros: The villas and spas

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The food was fabulous and all of the staff gave excellent customer service. The proximity to the beach was great and only 15 minutes walk into town.

Cons: Basic furniture in the room. The table tennis table had seen better days.

Pros: Excellent location with exit to the beach, very friendly staff

Cons: The hotel is really very old-it’s maximum 3 stars but not 4, the inner pool is for money -20 euro per person

Pros: Everything was more than perfect, from breakfast to going to sleep. The staff ,especially Otto Nemes made our stay unforgetful

Cons: - We are four people and shower gel only for 2 during the all 5 days, and during 2 days was Zero - The four restaurants available in the resort, only 2 are really available - the system to change the towels is very annoying - The schedule for the restaurants is to aggressive for vacation time

Pros: The beach. Away from the main town. Nice and quiet.

Cons: The beds are a extremely hard. We were above the laundry and kitchen area so very noisy. Could hear the washing machines droning all night.

Pros: On the beach

Pros: The location is perfect for relaxing. Local mini-market is useful. The stuff is quite friendly and helpful. All our wishes we put during the booking were complete. The breakfast is awesome. A hotel provides a bus which goes to Villa Baleira several times a day.

Cons: ATM near the hotel was out of service during whole our trip Room cleanup time was quite random.

Pros: The location is excellent. The maids are efficient and friendly.

Cons: The air-conditioner in our room didn't work. The wi-fit also didn't work. And the printer at the reception desk was broken. Very poor service.

Pros: Lokalita, food, personal was fantastic

Cons: Everything was fantastic

Pros: The location is the best. You are literally on the beach. The views are stunning and the beach is wonderful.

Cons: Maybe the furniture is a bit outdated but it doesn't bother me all that much. Even as a guest you have to pay 10 euros a day for the sun beds on the beach.

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast

Cons: Breakfast, it was poor.

Pros: The location was great next to a Supermarket and close to the Bus stop which takes you to Porto Santo Ferry. The bed was comfortable and there was nice Aircon and the room was clean.

Cons: I ordered a room with a bath and didnt get one. The Breakfast was low standards should have been better that's the only things I didnt like and the The price for 2 nights was not worth it.

Pros: Close to the beach, comfy beds, even though asked for a double we got twins. Not really ideal for a couples holiday. For £65 a night I think it’s fairly overpriced.

Cons: Pool very small, pictures make it look nicer, very olden style need a refurb, reception guy on the desk great customer service. Towels very small and got charged for a pool towel - I’ve never seen this anywhere.

Pros: A lovely hotel in the centre of Porto Santo, very friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable rooms, good shower pressure and great beds.

Cons: Very good WiFi, but only available in public areas.

Pros: A budget hotel with simple facilities. Air con good and nice unheated pool. The Praia Torre +same group) is better and worth the difference, but this is a good budget hotel.

Cons: Hot water variable. Fusebox made odd noises. Breakfast BV a bit too basic.

Pros: Staff were fabulous

Cons: Breakfast only meal available during our stay due to low season. Staff great for recommending restaurants.

Pros: The location of the hotel was great, the room was clean and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast was rich. The staff at the reception was very kind and helpful.

Cons: There was noise from early morning until late afternoon both from the pool and the corridor. There was no proper coffee served for breakfast, only Nescafe. It proved very difficult to get a decent dinner at the hotel's restaurant. We waited over 30 minutes to get our order and it was incomplete and poorly cooked. All three restaurants which belong to the hotel are understaffed, so the service is very slow. If you have a lot of time and patience, you can make it, but I would recommend going to some decent restaurants in the city center.

Pros: Great beach front location. They gave us a bottle of bubbly as it was our honeymoon, good breakfast selection, a couple of vegetarian options at the restaurant.

Cons: Sauna and jacuzzi not working. They were the main reasons we selected this place. Other things are an additional charge but not advertised this way. It has enough of the extras (eg minibar, restaurant) to get four stars but the place doesn't feel like a four star establishment. Atmosphere lacking over the Easter weekend

Pros: Clean comfortable and right on the beach.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location was great - right on the beach, and the breakfast was very good. Also the hotel is not far from airport

Cons: Signage within the hotel could have been better, especially to find the restaurant

Pros: We have been Going there for the past 5 years...all the way from South Africa. The staff remain and they remember us. The professionalism is Beyond Excellent as it includes personal attention to detail and kindness. Well done to you all

Cons: Our stay was too short

Pros: We liked the breakfast included and enjoyed eating outside watching the sea! Enjoyed the swimming pool. Room was comfortable and clean.

Cons: Nothing. All was very good.

Pros: The Team is very polite & friendly; perfect Location close to the Beach ... to my Mind one of the best Parts for People who love to enjoy Nature !

Pros: The room was clean, quiet and with a good size. The employees are nice and easy going. A nice location (a bit far from center), close to a beach bar/restaurant/pub (Henrique). It's easy to cover the entire coast with bicycle or motorcycle.

Cons: We stayed here some years ago, by then the hotel was ok and we enjoyed our stay. This time we had a breakfast that lacked of variaty and quality (croissants soaked in oil - very greasy), the room had electric problems and internet didn't reach the room at all.

Pros: Susanna the hotel manager was super friendly.

Pros: Very friendly members of staff always with smile on there face. Always willing to help as best as they can.

Cons: There was nothing not to like. Me and my partner will definatly come back.

Pros: Very generous and helpful staff, excellent location relative to the beach. Is s good place to stay as it is halfway between the town centre and Calheta.

Cons: The furniture on the balcony needed wiping, but that is a very small detail. The internet\wifi tended to come and go out.

Pros: The hotel is situated in the middle of the way between the center of the town and the end of the island, so we could effortless visit both of them.

Cons: The water of the shower was splashing on the floor, even with the curtain closed.

Pros: Location, view, close to the beautiful beach

Cons: My room was above the restaurant and it smelled grilled everytime when I opened window
