If you like to be in a quiet, relaxing,clean hotel, which has not many rooms and tourists this is the place you should go!!!! We were warmly picked up at the airport ( even if it's very close from the airport you still need to go by car), and were able to do a very early check-in without additional fees.... More

I have been fortunate to travel extensively as far as Fiji and the Caribbean amongst many other destinations. I have to say that this hotel and its staff run by Goncalo Lemos Nunes is the most enjoyable, relaxing and idyllic facility I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The welcome is genuine and warm, the rooms are clean... More

What a superb find ! This hotel is in a lovely position, so convenient for the airport and an ideal base to tour the whole island. The skilled and welcoming manager, Senor Nunes, ensures that high standards are maintained throughout, whilst the staff are helpful and courteous at all times. Large well equipped bedrooms with balconies overlooking the sea, there... More

Two things I desired: I always wanted to get married in Madeira and I wanted a venue right by the sea. This private and unique place met both of my needs. In August of 2011, I was married and I had a magical and wonderful reception; with fireworks just before midnight. I am so grateful for everything the staff accomplished... More

If you stay in Madeira, you must stay at this hotel. This small hotel offers everything that you could want. Excellent food, attention to detail, friendly staff and closeness to the airport. We were worried that being this close would create airplane noise but because all the rooms face the ocean and the hotel is well below the airport the... More

I must say this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in. We were shown around the hotel and room, experienced wonderfully friendly staff, very much enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this place. The airport, despite its close proximity, is not busy enough and is located above so you really do not notice it (I had... More

See my previous two reviews. This July, we stayed at the Albatroz for the third time since 2010, and we keep coming back for the same reasons: a beautiful hotel, excellent service, excellent food, and a peaceful setting. It's the perfect place to relax, and we hardly ever left the place as the hotel and grounds had everything we needed.... More

My wife & I have just returned from our first holiday in the beautiful island of Madeira having stayed for two weeks at the Albatroz Hotel near Santa Cruz. An exceptional hotel where everyone from Goncalo Nunes the Director through every staff member proved to be extremely competent and helpful. On arrival at reception (after being picked up at the...

The Albatroz staff could not have been more welcoming; this is a hotel where the employees go above and beyond what's expected. On emailing the hotel a day before our trip asking whether there was a shuttle bus, I received a prompt reply from the hotel (in better English than many people I deal with at home!) offering to collect...
