ホテル ポルト サント＆スパ(Hotel Porto Santo & Spa)

L’hôtel est très bien situé avec un accès direct à la mer. Le petit déjeuner est copieux sous forme de buffet à volonté. Le cadre paisible et la tranquillité ambiante sont de grands atouts en parallèle de son très beau spa en marbre.

Bardzo pomocny personel :)

This hotel offered an especially relaxing experience. The room and bathroom were fine. The large, airy dining room and lounges face a beautiful tropical garden and view of the sea. The beach bar is right beside the 9 km pristine beach. The hotel is in an excellent location, close enough to Vila Baleira that you can walk there leisurely. The hotel is spacious, very quiet and well maintained. The spa facilities provide an elegant and quiet atmosphere. The massages delivered by Mara were relaxing and professionally done. Of note, clients of the hotel are provided with a discount on the treatments taken at the spa.

I had a fantastic stay! I love the long drive up to the hotel, it gives the place an essence of luxury. I had a very warm welcome too. The bed was incredibly comfortable with lovely soft linen. As many others have said the hotel and decor date back to the 1950s/1960s but don’t go thinking that everything is worn out… it’s not. All the lovely wood panelling is marvellous and maintained very well. The room was immaculately clean too. The only nitpicks I can find are very small. The food for the breakfast is mostly fine. However the sausages weren’t very nice and the hash browns could have been cooked a little longer. The beach bar also serves food but I didn’t try that. The other thing that bugged me quite a bit is there is no foot shower anywhere. So if you’re coming off the beach, you have to walk with your sand stained feet all the way until you get back to your room’s bathroom. So there isn’t that much to remedy but these little things if corrected would make the experience even better. Also take note, I was the youngest guest staying here and I’m in my 40s. Everyone else was minimum of 60+. It didn’t bug me, as I was after something low-key, but it might bug others.

What an underrated hotel ! Loved the door and architecture ! Made me think of Geoffry Bawa in Sri Lanka or 50's houses in Beverly Hills... I have been to many hotels with many pools but this one was design wise the best one ever for me ! Loved the dramatic marble blocks in spa pool and outdoor pool which gave it a very luxurious feel. Not a straight box but an angled shape pool. Rooms were funky and a great mature garden with a nice relaxed beach bar. Breakfast was excellent ! Had great weather in winter here but the rest of Porto Santo was a bit desolate..

Nice hotel, close to the city center in front of the beach...kind staff very friendly, we recommand this hotel

The hotel is nice, it’s a good 4-star hotel which delivers what it promises. The rooms: The rooms are not luxurious, but spacious, comfortable and clean. They offered an array of pillows which will probably suit most guests. The extra beds could deal with an upgrade. For our 3-year old, it was fine, but for older children they might not find it too comfortable. The bathrooms: They were spacious and recently refurbished. The shower toiletries could use an upgrade (only a 2in1 shampoo/shower gel offered. Hand soap was fine. The beach bar: Decent array of food offered, good quality and great service. Prices were ok for a hotel. There are a couple of other options in the beach really close by too. Swimming pool: Very nice, with a large shallow area which suited both adults and children. The water is not heated, so it’s a bit chilly if it’s not warm outside. Plenty of sunbeds available and a beautiful view of the garden and the dunes. There’s mini golf and table tennis available, which was nice. Staff was friendly and helped us by booking taxis and recommending restaurants. Location: The hotel is very well located in our opinion. 1.5km away from the village centre, so far enough to be quiet, but close enough to allow us to walk there everyday to visit the children’s playground, try new restaurants or just enjoy the stroll. There’s a small supermarket, bakery and a few restaurants 5-7 min walking distance on the other direction. We even walked to the horse centre (35min), which is in the opposite side of town. We did not try the on-site restaurant nor the spa/indoor swimming pool. We have heard there’s a charge to use the indoor swimming pool, which is not very nice, but we didn’t check it ourselves.

This was a random, almost last minute, choice for me, I was looking for somewhere warm and not too far from the UK. I'd never heard of Porto Santo, but it looked lovely and I got a really good deal with Tui. My room, with balcony overlooking one of the pool areas, was spotlessly clean and daily housekeeping was efficient. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The main restaurant food choices were varied and tasty - and I do like a good breakfast buffet! My package was all-inclusive so I also had the choice of where to eat, including the resort next door. It wasn't too busy and the weather was perfect, not too hot but sunny and breezy. There are sunbeds on the beach, which can be hired by the day/week, and the beach was pristine. I also had a wonderful massage in the spa, and spent a lot of time in the indoor pool.

I spent 6 lovely relaxing nights here in May. The hotel itself looks very plain. At first I wasn’t impressed by its appearance but the more time I spent there I loved it’s low level simple and bijoux style. The rooms look like they have recently had a makeover simple clean functional great shower, nice balcony area but I didn’t use this as the hotel has lots of quiet nicer areas to sit and read or chill and take in the Island ambiance. Complimentary toiletries and water. The gardens an pool area and the lounge areas inside and out were really nice, clean and well maintained. There were plenty of sun beds and chairs around the pool. Th outside bar area right on the beach was a nice place to have a beer and watch the world go round. It closed at 6 pm which seemed a bit more early as it didn’t go dark until 8 ish. There was an unappealing space with sand and loungers which needs something bunting flags lighting sail shades anything to make it look better. I’d have liked a lounger on the beach to make the most of the experience. I used the Spa which is a lovely space but I wasn’t that impressed with the overall amenities the pool was a bit cold, and I didn’t dare go in the freezing plunge pool. However the jacuzzi was its saving grace best I’ve been in! I had two treatments a hot stone massage which was just weird and then a scrub and massage with Hugo which was amazing I would definitely recommend him. The food was good there is a Al a Carte and a daily fixed price menu to choose from, I preferred it when the fixed price had meals rather than a themed buffet style. Service in the restaurant was good better when the manager showed his presence . Staff were all friendly and professional. Overall I loved my stay and would highly recommended. I was conflicted that everything seemed so quiet of an evening but that added to my relaxing experience. If you’d like a beach lounger go right up the beach. You can walk right along the beach it look me a leisurely hour to walk all to the end and 30 mins to walk into the town. I found an island tour bus with guide in the town but he didn’t really speak English but tried his best. There are a few bars restaurants within a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Taxi from the airport was €8
