I am currently enjoying my last full day at the hotel with my family. It was the ideal location and hotel to spend family holidays with a 3-year old toddler. The hotel itself is conveniently located a few meters away from the beach. The apartments were renovated recently and are well equipped with 2 lcd big screen tvs and AC. The bed itself is super comfortable and there’s a sofa bed which is handy. All of the ambience is super relaxed and calm. All of the staff at the reception, bars and restaurant is very friendly and welcoming, always doing their best to accommodate their guests. Just to give one example, one of the pool bar attendants went to the breakfast kitchen (which was closed in the afternoon) just to get a yogurt for our toddler. We also had an issue with our room and were promptly given the option to move. The meals are one of the best things in this hotel. Every lunch there are freshly grilled fish and meat options by the pool. They also have other a-la-carte options throughout the day. Dinner is superb, every night a different 3 course gourmet meal, served at the restaurant. They cater different meals for the kids as well, if necessary. The all inclusive plus option is definitely worthy, because it gives us access to all of this and much more, like access to the spa, sun beds at the beach and late checkout (still to be seen tomorrow). For those who look for more animation and fun, there’s full access to the Vila Baleira Hotel which is at a walking distance. I definitely will recommend Vila Baleira Suites to my friends and family, and hope to return in the future.

Good Hotel with very friendly and welcoming Staff. They offered us a free room upgrade to a suite that it was much appreciated. The suite was super spacious, with 2 separate bedrooms and 2x balconies with amazing sea views. We highly recommend booking a suite type of room (main building). The food is good and varied. However, some of the food was not identified especially at the Dunas Restaurant so it was difficult to understand what was it and contained (might be a problem for people with allergies/intolerances). Note: Majority of the food is bland and it will be required salt to be added separately if you like flavoured food. The drinks were okay, not much selection of cocktails unless if you go AI Plus. However, I would suggest to be served in reusable plastic cups like other Hotels instead of paper cups that stay all “mushy” after a while (still helps the planet considering it’s reusable). The Hotel has direct access to the beach (which is beautiful!) and has a beach bar (but not included for AI customers, only AI Plus). Also has sun lounges and parasols but needs to be paid extra. The Hotel has plenty of activities during the day & nice shows at night. The Animation Team is amazing and we had always a good time with them! Without the Animation Team the Hotel would be just average. They are really the light of this Hotel! We would just kindly suggest that during the activities they ensure that there is always someone that speaks portuguese (a few times it was only spoken italian - nothing against the language, it is a beautiful language, but sometimes was hard to understand everything and follow the instructions, thus fully enjoy the activities). Apart of portuguese, I would also suggest to be spoken english considering it is the universal language and more people would understand and engage in the activities. Apart of that we highly praise the animation team and their activities throughout the day & night. The Spa was good however they only give 45min slots which was not sufficient to try everything at the water circuit (we suggest the time to be increased to 1h and/or reduce the number of people per slot). Note: You will need a swim cap, otherwise you will pay 4 euros for one. The Hotel surroundings are beautiful with well kept gardens. Overall: Nice Hotel that wins for its beachfront location, Staff and Animation Team!

This is a beautiful hotel with great facilities, helpful staff and great food. We had a lovely week there and explored the island. We travelled with Tui from London Gatwick and everything was very well organised. During our stay we hired Twingos from the hotel reception and drove around the entire island in one morning. We also booked a boat trip and we were collected from reception and taken down to the harbour for the two hour trip. The beach here is wonderful and easy access from the hotel. Porto Santo is a lovely town and a visit to the museum is a must.

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.

The Hotel is very close to the beach, our room was very nice, with a balcony and everything. Everything appeared to be clean and tidy. We liked it very much, we recommend it and we will be back.
