    A Family Escape into Blissful Serenity!

    Our family loved the stunning sea views from our apartment! The friendly staff made us feel at home, with special thanks to Carla from the Talassotherapy. The beach sunbeds could use a price review, as many remained empty. Don't miss the relaxing treatments!

    side sea view
    spacious apartment
    included refrigerator
    dirty bed sheets
    uncomfortable extra bed

    The room was a One-Bedroom Apartment with a Side Sea View, and honestly, it had a great view. But there were issues—my bed sheets were dirty, and the place felt a bit worn down. The extra bed in the living room was super uncomfortable. Cleanliness could definitely be better. On the bright side, it was spacious enough, and having a fridge was helpful for snacks. I think it needs some renovations, though.

    dated room decor

    I had a great two-night stay at a lovely hotel with a fantastic breakfast buffet and easy bike rentals nearby, but the rooms could use some modernization.

    Put this on your radar

    The stay was enjoyable, thanks to friendly staff and nice pools. The breakfast buffet offered enough variety, although dining options could be repetitive. The room was comfortable with good views. Just be prepared for slow elevators and occasional cleanliness issues. If you want to relax, this is a decent option!

    larger play area

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, especially the friendly staff and the amazing beach access. The fun kids' club made a big difference for us parents, allowing us to relax a bit while our little ones were entertained. The evening entertainment was also a pleasant surprise!

    My kids wished for a larger play area for more activities.

    elevator issues

    The elevator situation seriously needs an upgrade. It was out of service during my stay. The one-bedroom apartment, while spacious, had a sofa bed that may leave your back questioning its comfort level. Insects in the dining areas-specifically ants-raised some hygiene concerns, especially when you're trying to enjoy a meal. On top of that, the gym and hot tub weren’t operational for someone wanting to unwind after a long day. Lastly, the distance to the beachfront is misleading. It’s a good walk rather than right at your doorstep.

    welcome gift
    helpful management

    Just a fitting option for a weekend adventure in Porto Santo with high value for money. The management helped us celebrate our parents' anniversary with a lovely welcome gift. Bring your own snacks for the pool bar, as the food has noticeable hygiene issues.

    good location
    enjoyable crêpes
    poor breakfast experience
    repetitive dining choices
    lack of flavor

    The location is quite good, with convenient bike rentals next door. The food included some enjoyable crêpes, but the breakfast experience suffered from inconsistent quality and staff performance, leading to unappetizing options like cold pancakes and mass-produced eggs. The overall cleanliness of the common areas was commendable, though I found the dining choices repetitive and lacking flavor, with many dishes failing to meet a proper four-star standard.

    scuba diving
    entertaining staff
    great amenities
    disinterested staff
    lack of freshness

    Had an amazing time on vacation with friends! We loved the scuba diving experience and the entertaining staff kept things exciting. The indoor pool was a perfect escape while the beach provided relaxation. Overall, great amenities and lots of fun activities to enjoy!

    One frustrating experience was with the breakfast crew, who seemed disinterested and produced food that lacked freshness.

    underground tunnel beach access
    thalasso spa relaxation

    Fine, fine, fine.

    The beach access via the underground tunnel is a game changer-no busy roads, just direct sand heaven! I loved unwinding at the Thalasso Spa. The hot stone massage is pure bliss. The themed dining nights were a culinary adventure. I particularly enjoyed seafood night with freshly caught flavors!

    Strongly recommend! 🏖️💖
