This hotel is comfortable with a great beach. It is great to relax, enjoy the simple nature in this island and relax on a short vacation trip.
ALBINO, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very good location for 1 week (family,friends) on vacation and/or to spend days/time at the splendid beach. Concept in Vila Baleira with additional 2 Restaurants good. Sport infrastructure for inside/outside activities enough. Prefer taxi from airport to hotel as hotel shuttle is too expensive.

8/10 Very good

Lovely location with a great beach at the back of the hotel. The hotel rooms need to be updated and found the bar area to be quite small for a large hotel, not enough seating area. Food was lovely and staff very friendly.

Location is the best on Porto Santo island. The apartment is showing it's age. The view is fantastic. Staff was great.

The one lady that was on day shift helped us get a different room because my wife has asthma so we were moved to a very nice room in the main building.

6/10 Good

The hotel is far from a 4 star hotel and needs renovation asap. 1 - The food was bad, 90% of the workers at the restaurant barely spoke portuguese and always replied with a bad attitude when we asked for something. We had to request every single day for small spoons at breakfast for the kids to eat cereals and at some point they even replied they didn’t have any. 2 - at the room, we had water coming from the bath to inside of the bedroom for 4 days and it was only fixed when I mentioned the reclamation book, instead of enjoying our vacation we were worried for 4 days about shower time because we didn’t have enough towels for everyone as they were on the floor to stop the water… 3 - there’s no map of the hotel or schedule of the hotel activities 4 - we had cockroaches in front of our door daily 5 - the bar on the beach doesn’t have a WC and to go to the toilet you need to walk more than 5 min and go inside the restaurant near the pool. 6 - also at the beach bar they announce that we can buy icecreams or bola de berlim - which are not included in the all inclusive - and then they only had 2 or 3 which almost all the kids didn’t like (Solero, etc…). 7 - there are no shadows in the beach and we had to pay between between 25-35€ per day for a combo. 8 - positive: the beach is absolutely amazing and animation team is super nice, cheers to Júlio and Madalena! My kids also loved the girls from Kids Club - Thank you!!

Old outdated hotel without service

Very old Hotel. We had an apartment in a building opposite to the main house on a hill. No luggage bring service. No weather protection. How do they handle handicap guests? Bathroom smelly with mould in the corners. Wind blow everywhere through. Buildings need urgently full renovation. Breakfast o.k.
Andreas, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Restaurantes demasiado pequenos ou mal organizados. Oferta de comida feita em poucos pontos o que gerava filas demasiado grandes. Cheguei a desistir de comer por causa do tamanho da fila
Pedro, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

L’hotel ha un buon potenziale: ampi spazi, vicinanza al mare. Purtroppo gli spazi comuni, i giardini e la zona piscine talasso hanno bisogno di manutenzione e rinnovamento! La Zarco room per gli snack pomeridiani è un salone SENZA FINESTRE!!Sembra un bunker!! Vien voglia di scappare! La cucina inoltre è basata su serate a tema: quella Portoghese cui abbiamo partecipato non è stata per nulla piacevole nè invitante: niente addobbi, niente musica e scarso cibo portoghese. Poi 25€ al giorno x noleggio lettini e ombrellone in spiaggia sono davvero troppi. Assolutamente non un 4 stelle per gli standard italiani!

Hotel magnifique, les services sont nombreux à proximités, les emplacements de sports sont très propre. Cependant le bar de plage au nom de l’hôtel, n'est pas gratuit même avec le all inclus... Sinon le personnelle est souriant

Sancho, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Das Apartment hat eine schöne Größe, überall Fenster und (vom dritten Stock) eine schöne Aussicht. Der Balkon ist gigantisch, leider nur mit zwei Plastikstühlen und Tisch versehen, wo zwei Liegen eindeutig Platz hätten. Das Interieur ist in die Jahre gekommen und könnte modernisiert werden. Gerade bei den Matratzen haben sich die Federn bemerkbar gemacht. Das Essensangebot zu allen Zeiten war üppig, wenn auch nichts Besonderes. Der Service des Personals wird hier groß geschrieben. Sie nehmen sich Zeit, können gut Englisch und sind immer anzutreffen. Das Hotel hat zudem eine große Außenanlage, wo man sich auf einer Liege entspannen kann und Kinder ihren Spaß finden. Der Strand ist sehr gut zu Fuß direkt vom Hotel aus zu erreichen, eine kleine Unterführung führt unter der Straße durch. Für „Regentage“: das freie Wifi ist top (30 MBit up und down; schneller wer es braucht gegen Gebühr). Es gibt viele deutsche Fernsehkanäle und Indooraktivitäten (Schwimmhalle, Billiard,...)

No shuttle bus from boat to hotel. When we arrived we found out that Almost everybody else has “all-inclusieve” bur hotels.com did not give us this opportunity when we booked

Ich war drei Wochen dort und habe nichts auszusetzen! Unbedingt mit HP buchen die Buffets am Abend sollte man unbedingt ausprobieren war Spitzenklasse!! Bei HP sind auch die Getränke inbegriffen, zudem kann man jederzeit die Wasserflaschen gratis an den Spendern wieder auffüllen! Verständigung in Englisch unproblematisch. Absolut empfehlenswert, ich gehe wieder Dorthin!!

A big surprise!

First impression not good; a tall building raging far above over the idyllic small town of Machico. But after staying 3 days I,m impressed! For the price for the rooms you really get value for money. Great breakfast! Situated perfect, above the beach and city center, friendly atmosphere, beautiful m surroundings. A lot do do both at and outside the hotel.
