Hotels near Porto Santo airport

Pros: The staff was very helpful and nice. Service was excellent. High-quality breakfast. Extra points for a genuine Finnish sauna.

Pros: It Waze amazing! The staff is really helpful and kind. Highly recommended !!

Pros: Nice and friendly staff, very nice rooms and tasty breakfast.

Cons: The location is quite but a little bit far away from the city centre, but despite of this is very good choice.

Pros: Great, modern hotel !!! Only good people among the staff. They were especially kind to our little child. Thank you so much for everything.

Pros: The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the grounds were beautifully kept, and more than anything, the hotel was peaceful and quiet. For some it might have been too quiet, but ideal for those wanting to relax and enjoy the stunning beach a few minutes walk away. We were welcomed on arrival with the news we could access our room straight away and were taken to a villa which was lovely. Top marks to the staff for customer care and service.

Cons: The evening buffet meal was very limited. Part of that was down to the size of the hotel and the number of guests but even at that, it should have been possible to produce better quality mains than those provided. Breakfast was a bit better. So much was good that it seems a shame to mention something that wasn’t so good, but it does seem otherwise excellent service is let down by the meals. Porto Santo is a wonderful destination for those who love beaches and peace and quiet. If I were to return, I would probably go to a hotel with direct beach access rather than the dirt track from the Pestana Ilha Dourada to the beach.

Pros: Calm, tranquil, clean, sleek, modern boutique style. Excellent staff I really felt they were A1 in courtesy, helpfulness and professionalism. Beautiful pool tasty buffet dinner and outstanding breakfast. We would return in a heartbeat

Cons: I liked everything

Pros: The hotel was really nice and modern.Great facilities and lovely food! The staff were very engaging and efficient 😊

Pros: If you like great beaches and hiking with spectacular scenery, Porto Santo is perfect. This is what I came for and it didn’t disappoint. The room was dated, but fine. I liked that it had a bath - perfect after a long day hiking. And the bidet came in useful for washing my socks and underwear! Cleaning each day was good. Breakfast was functional. Lining up each time you want something is irksome, but I understand the reasons in these pandemic times. For some reason the coffee always had a vague taste of pepper. But the setting outside on the beach (for some tables at least) takes some beating. The staff here were nice, and service was good.

Cons: Unfortunately, the choice of hotels isn’t great. I’m not a big fan of resort-style places. In fact, I avoid them like the plague, but needs must, and, all things considered, the Torre Praia seemed like the best of the bunch. Maybe it is, but it wasn’t my kind of place. The shower over the bath was a bit of a pain. It didn’t adjust, so I had to huddle under it with my back touching the wall. The WiFi was hopeless. I never managed to get it to work even after it had connected, no matter which part of the hotel I was in. I was a bit disappointed to find the gym closed. I wanted to use it, but I also wanted to take some photos. Peering over the door it appears to be the strangest gym I’ve ever seen! A huge room with just a few machines scattered around. The space is filled with tables and chairs, sofas and a pool table. Very odd. Heaven knows why with so much space they have decided it isn’t safe to open at the moment, especially as the hotel was so quiet. Although it photographs quite well, make no mistake this is a well worn 70s style resort hotel, and it operates to a well worn formula. In their defence, a sizeable number of people looking for their two weeks in the sun want exactly that. Said formula meant that I was told my room wasn’t ready when I arrived at 11am (the ferry docked at 10:30am). I asked how long it would be and was told maybe half an hour but I was welcome to leave my luggage. I decided to wait, but after 5-10 mins I went back to reception to ask if I could leave my luggage after all. A different staff member looked a bit puzzled and told me the room was ready. I got the impression that an early check in shouldn’t be taken for granted. It was the same when I left. I asked if I could possibly have late checkout as the ferry back to Madeira wasn’t leaving til 6pm, but I was told the room was needed. Seriously? At a guess I’d say the hotel was, at most, 15-20% full. I’d be surprised if it was suddenly going to fill up.

Pros: It was ok I know it's difficult at this time

Cons: The food and bar facilitys They advertise a beach bar but closed

Pros: The location on the beach is unbeatable. Selina Restaurant and neighboring bar have great views of the beach.

Cons: Breakfast options are very limited. Cleanliness of the room and bathroom in particular is weak.

Pros: Super well located first line over the beach. Also easy walk to the village. Common areas very spacious as well as the room and bath room. Nice balcony over the sea.

Cons: Staff is great. Super nice and efficient. Just the gentleman at the front desk could be more welcoming and smiley.

Pros: Good location directly on the beach, and close to the main area with bars and restaurants. The staff is welcoming and nice. Double rooms are clean and spacious enough for two people.

Cons: The hotel seems to need a renovation as both the rooms and the internal spaces are aging. It is presented as a 4 stars hotel but the experience is not there. Breakfast is to be improved with better quality and local products.

Pros: We spent two nights at this very nice hotel while discovering Porto Santo. The hotel is located 5 minutes away on foot from the bus stop, where the bus leaves to the ferry. It is close to the town center and right next to the beach. The hotel is very nice, the rooms are clean and comfortable, there is a nice pool and a terrasse right above the beach. The staff is helpful and friendly and the breakfast is very good.

Pros: Hotel was in a fantastic location, grounds and pool were beautiful. The room was very clean and well maintained.

Cons: No tea or coffee facilities in room and tv was very small. Due to Covid breakfast times given were very limited and there was not many food options within the hotel for dinner that was not the buffet.

Pros: We stayed 5 days at this beautiful Hotel. The Hotel is really beautiful, with stunning and very well kept gardens and palm trees. Excellent location, in front of the wonderful and huge Porto Santo beach. We booked the pool view room and we loved it! From our private balcony we had a breathtaking view of the amazing swimming pools with the palm trees that really brought us that Island’s Life vibes. The rooms are big and are very well decorated with summer bright colours. The room was always very clean and tidy! The bathroom had excellent facilities with really nice toiletries. The only thing we would suggest was to change for a bigger television with better reception however we believe that if it wasn’t the COVID-19 pandemia the Hotel would have every night live entertainment on their huge show lounge. The restaurant Marés (buffet style) and the Dunas Bar (light/snacks menu) served really delicious and tasty food. The other restaurants (Luigi and Koi) unfortunately are not open due to COVID-19 constraints which is completely understandable. The swimming pools are huge and stunning, one is “normal” water and the other “salty” water. The Porto Santo beach is just breathtaking! The golden sand and the turquoise warm sea...Outstanding! We stayed at a few Hotels during the COVID-19 pandemia and the Hotel Pestana Porto Santo was by far the best Hotel in terms of organisation, protocols/guidelines/rules and prevention. We could clearly see that the Staff was really well trained and they informed really well the guests about the preventive (and mandatory) safety measures to adopt. We felt really safe! Last but not least, the Staff...All the Staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional. They really go above and beyond at all times! A special mention to the Front Office Manager Mrs Monica Neves - We had a small problem with our reservation and she went out of this world to solve the issue with compassion, dedication and professionalism.

Pros: Beautiful grounds and setting, wonderful staff, excellent attention to COVID-19 precautions. Good location: right on the beach and very private, but only about a 30 min. walk or 5-minute/8 EUR taxi ride from the town center.

Cons: Nothing, all great.

Pros: Good location, own beach, clean rooms, nice staff, nice swimming pool

Cons: Basic breakfast buffet. I would expect better coffee, which was just instant. Except baked tomatoes thare was no other vegetables and only few fruits although Madeira offers plenty of different kinds of fruits and vegetables. Maybe it is just because it is more complicated to get it on the island and there is no large vegetables and fruits production on Porto Santo.

Pros: uncomfortable bed, very poor Wi-Fi connection in my room, if you don't have all-inclusive accommodation in this hotel is too expensive due to extra charges for everything

Cons: location directly on the famous Potro Santo beach, hotel beach, swimming pool, cleanliness

Pros: We travelled a lot >> this is the best staff we ever met 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 Extreme and constant hygiène everywhere, every table / chair you use etc.... felt very safe Photo showsRoom 1204 with pool view

Cons: For me there was a only one very little negative point at breakfast >> Enourmous choice and rich breakfast, meats, eggs, fresh bread..... lots of food EXCEPT if you are vegetarian ..... same industrial jam for a week and zero choice for lactose intolerance. Had to ask for Soy milk for my coffee and finally bought my own plant based staff.

Pros: Fabulous staff Beautiful pool area and direct access to lovely sandy beach. Also sunbeds and umbrellas available at beach. Good size room and very tastefully decorated. Good breakfast. Very good COVID hygiene measures in place throughout the hotel

Cons: Everything was wonderful!

Pros: Very clean, exceptional layout with a fantastic large pool and plenty of sun beds spaced well apart. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. The restaurant was always busy but the staff did a good job in following the current guidelines on cleanliness and safety. There is direct access to a beautiful sandy beach. The room we stayed in was a one bedroom apartment and the decor was very nice.

Cons: There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the apartment plus the food and drinks on the complex were well overpriced.

Pros: Beautiful resort with the main attraction being the pool area. The layout of the villas in among the lush tropical trees set around the pools is really stunning. The staff were all well organised and very friendly.

Cons: The biggest disappointment was the FOOD. For a five star hotel, the quality and choice of food was well below par. Maybe it's the fact that they offer all-inclusive, that their standard of food is not what it should be. The only other thing is their TV's are really small. Again for the price you pay and the fact that it's a five star, this should not be the case.

Pros: Its litterally ON the beach, and just a quick walk to the center of Porto Santo. It’s clean and delicate here. We arrived early in the morning and got our room right away even tho check in was later. We also got to keep our room longer on departure day with no extra fee. Dinner was good, breakfast ok! The spa was fantastic!

Pros: Location, balcony with a nice view, beach was just a minute away from the room through a beautiful garden, staff was very friendly and welcoming.

Cons: Breakfast could have more variety and better presentation.

Pros: Very nice and professional staff The hotel surroundings and facilities were very elegant and confortable. Great localization, almost in the beach with forest around , very quiet place but a few minutes from the center. Good and quiet balcony.

Cons: The room was small, but the lowest point was the mattress which was very hard and uncomfortable ( and the texture of the sheets (also not very confortabe)

Pros: Otherwise is just beautiful!!! Friendly staff , amazing location and hotel facilities.

Cons: The only problém is internet, if you have to work it doesnt always work in your room.

Pros: Amazing garden and super breakfast. Cool beach bar. Super beach access. Good startpoint for hikes to the West peak.

Cons: The rooms are boring. No decor. But you want to be outside anyway:)))

Pros: Very friendly and nice staff! They also let us stay until 4pm on the checkout day. The garden, pool area and beach are really beautiful. The bar is really nice and they make great cocktails :)

Cons: The rooms are not very comfortable and a bit rusty, so you should not expect too much. Also the wifi did not reach the room. Unfortunately due to covid the Spa was close down, but that is not on the hotel.

Pros: Breakfast / location

Cons: Staff not friendly / pay extra money for the umbrella and sunbed at the beach

Pros: Excellent location right at Porto Santo's famous sand beach. Friendly and supportive staff. Strict COVID-19 hygiene measures.

Cons: -

Pros: The people, the flat, the messages...

Cons: N/A

Pros: Great accommodation and the staff were very helpful and friendly.

Cons: Breakfast could have been better explained as to what was available.

Pros: Nice mornings beach viewings. The apartment was very clean, well equipped with a glorious balcony. Spa and pool area was closed due covid-19 safety measures. Breakfast was superb with lots food options. Staffs are very friendly and happy, always helpful. We asked for later check out and ding dong, we got it! free of charge. Also, right next the hotel you will find a great bar/ restaurant called “João do Cabeço” that serve delicious local Portuguese food and a wee supermarket for little things.

Pros: Great value for money. Big comfortable rooms. Walking distance to the beach. Very nice and helpful staff.

Pros: Everything good except didn´t realize how far from the center it is located

Cons: distance from center too far which is my own fault

Pros: The staff here were excellent, ever helpful, courteous and polite, the hotel is situated in a very quiet part of the island, close to the beach with a large pool.

Cons: For me nothing to dislike about this hotel.

Pros: - Quiet location; - Close to the beach; - Renovated big rooms with balcony; - Free parking (car and bicycles); - Nice pool; - Save luggage for free

Cons: - Lack of staff in the reception; - Breakfast with limited options for the price.

Pros: Room is so greate, large and clean.

Cons: Wifi signal is too weak, most of time there was no internet. Breakfast is ok, but not so good. I asked to change my reservation dates in one mounth before check-in date, but the hotel rejected my request, I know that it was unchangable reservation, but most of hotels makes concessions. Location is not so good

Pros: The staff is kind and helpful, the hotel and the room very confortable and clean with all the facilities, good wifi (just in the common spaces, not in the room) and good breakfast, in particular I loved the balcony in my room with the view on the ocean. You can take water to drink for free. In the same building there is also a bar and a restaurant if you are tired and don't want to move too much to go to the center after a long day around, and there are two good restaurants very close (open only for dinner). If you need to buy something, there is also another bar 200 meters from the hotel going towards the center and a small supermarket in a small shopping center too. When I arrive in the morning around 11, they immediately checked -in me and gave me the room. In the same way, they left me keep the room till late the last day, in this way I could enjoy all the day on the beach and pass from the room late for a shower and take the luggage, since I had the ferry boat to Madeira at night. All this made my stay very nice and I recommend this hotel for sure! Thank you for all, see you again.

Cons: The hotel is not in the center and the public trasport is very lacking on the island, so if you want to move you have to call a taxi or to walk 30 minute to go to the center and 1 hour to go to Calheta, the most beautiful beach (but there is the nearest beach 400 mt far from the hotel). In my case, it was not a problem because I like to walk and the island is so nice and calm place, it was a pleasure to do some long walks every day (I even managed to catch the bus once). I often fought with the electronic keycard of the room , the door didn't open right away and I had to try many times (maybe I didn't understand the right way to do that). You have to bring shampoo with you if you need it, because there is only bar of soap in the bathroom. The reception is open only from 9 to 6, you have to remember this if you need to ask something to the staff.

Pros: Location away from centre of (noisier) Vila Baleira. Friendly & helpful staff. Decent (for room rate paid) breakfast included. Spacious room with bath, balcony & big windows letting in lots of light. Quiet hotel. Easy to walk into VB along the beautiful beach.

Cons: No WiFi in room. Only in common areas.

Pros: The receptionist Rute was great, very helpful and kind.

Pros: The lady at the front desk is very friendly and gave me a room up grade.

Cons: Contrary to the information on Booking.com, the reception is not served 24 hours a day. Rather, you have to call a phone number (which is posted) to check in. There is also no airport transfer. So either walk 4 km to the airport or take an expensive taxi.

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: Location, view, close to the beautiful beach

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

Pros: Susanna the hotel manager was super friendly.

Pros: I like everything, is an espectacular place and the staff is really amazing and kind. I'll be back for sure.

Pros: Excellent location, very friendly and attentive staff, especially at the reception, the facilities are not new but very good, the apartments are well equipped and spacious. A very good restaurant is located just across the street and some others 15-20 min walking distance. I would definitely go again!

Cons: My apartment was not very clean and the bedsheets had a strange smell. It was not the case with the other apartments were my family stayed.

Pros: Lokalita, food, personal was fantastic

Cons: Everything was fantastic

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 staff was very nice, always trying to please. The location is wonderful!

Cons: Very very cheap drinks. The included house wine is one of the cheapest Portuguese wines available on the market (not exaggerating, the bottle costs 3€ retail) "Alandra". All other alcoholic drinks were not known on the market produced nationality. The best was the local Portuguese beer Coral.

Pros: We weren´t able to assess this hotel taking into account that when we arrived it was closed without any prior warning or question about whether we would like to mantain the reservation or not !!

Cons: Me and my husband made the reservation for Pestana Colombos Premium Club - All Inclusive, however when we arrived it was closed. We couldn´t believe any one in Pestana had communicated this situation to us. We've been in several Pestana Hotels but now we lost reliance, never expected this kind of behaviour to their customer. I highlight that once I booked through Booking.com, We choose conscious and proposedly Pestana Colombos (Superior Double Room) and not Pestana Porto Santo, which has completely different style, and I have payed more per night too. It seemed that once they hadn’t sufficient clients to have the hotel open they transfer us without questioning to Pestana Porto Santo. I must say I lost all confidence with Pestana.

Pros: We did not like the fact we were overrun with ants in the bathroom. Also bitten by mosquitoes in the night

Cons: The fact that we booked the columbus and were put in the pestana. They told us it was closed so why did they take our money when we booked.

Pros: Friendly and helpful stuff, clean room, good location (5minutes to the sea, 1minute to bars and restaurants). We liked Bar Colombo right next to the hotel pool.

Cons: Little bit expensive for the old equipment of the hotel and no food options.

Pros: The location of the hotel is very good -- close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The staff were very polite and professional. Our room was a bit basic but clean and good enough for a one night stay.

Cons: It was a little noisy outside, but shutting the window made it fine. The room was quite basic, it looked empty and not very cozy - we didn't really want to spend much of our time there.

Pros: very clean, very well located, nice pool for end of the day with kids

Pros: The beds were comfortable

Cons: The staff told something with a lack of respect. They said in a dialogue: “we have to take all of this madeiradas (which is the place that I come from, and it sounds a little bit offensive) out of the rooms”. In my opinion that’s not polite and don’t give us the feeling of welcoming

Cons: Worst hotel ever, too expensive for what it offers.Room service clean from 8 in the morning talking loud and turning on the vacuum cleaners. The hotel is located by the road and there is a disco club nearby and drunken children shouting by the window. Do not stay there if you do not have to. The room is stated to be a double bed however these are two ordinary beds joined into one. Because of the Covid-19, the kitchen is closed so you don’t even have breakfast.

Pros: Localisation.

Cons: Too much light in the room. No Wi-Fi in the rooms.
