Inatel Porto Santo Hotel

“2nd year in a row and I will book for 2018 already ”

I travel for work 6 months of the year in Europe and US. I had the luck of staying in 4 and 5 stars hotels in the main business capitals. In Porto Santos I have stayed in Pestana Porto Santo (2x) Luamar (x2) and Vila Baleira (x1). After a friend recomendation, in 2016 I have tried Inatel Porto Sa... lisää

I travel for work 6 months of the year in Europe and US. I had the luck of staying in 4 and 5 stars hotels in the main business capitals. In Porto Santos I have stayed in Pestana Porto Santo (2x) Luamar (x2) and Vila Baleira (x1). After a friend recomendation, in 2016 I have tried Inatel Porto Santo. In January 2017 I was booking my staying here again just to be sure I got the place. First, the rooms: better than Luamar and Vila Baleira slightly worse than Pestana. The rooms are generous and they were refurbished recently so everything is new and things work properly (AC, mini fridge, tv (this can still be improved) wifi, etc). The common areas (dinning room and bar) not great but enough and ready for people with movement limitations. The pool is big and the kids playground offers several option protected by the shadow of trees. Second: you can choose the meal regime: just breakfast, breakfast and lunch and the 3 main meals of the day included. Drinks are always charged separately (except fro breakfast) and this is were the hotel is better and any other of the 3 above: home made food that puts you at your mother dinner table. The variety is limited, but every single option is just amazing. Forget the industrial type of all inclusive food... this is another thing: is regional (Portuguese) and fresh. The other big plus is the service and staff: they really take care of you, not only because it's their job but because they wasn't you to feel good, and if you are traveling with you kids this is a big point to take into consideration. Downsides: lack of activities (day and night) and they deserve a better parking space. Rather than that, one of my favorite hotels and a great hidden secret of Porto Santo.

“Lovely wee hotel”

Lovely wee hotel almost at the west end of the island. Easy access to the beach. Delightful staff. Lovely modern rooms. We had breakfast & dinner as part of our booking - both were of a good standard- dinner was buffet style with a couple of local dishes. We also had lunch on two days and though the menu was limited they were none the less tasty. Overall great value for money

“Average hotel”

The hotel is near the beach and the rooms are spatious, modern and clean. Unfortunately, with this the positive features end. The sleep quality is not good - about 200m from the hotel there is some disco or bar belonging to a nearby hotel with VERY loud music till midnight EACH DAY and sometimes ... lisää

The hotel is near the beach and the rooms are spatious, modern and clean. Unfortunately, with this the positive features end. The sleep quality is not good - about 200m from the hotel there is some disco or bar belonging to a nearby hotel with VERY loud music till midnight EACH DAY and sometimes longer. Plus there is some machine working and making noise from about 7 a.m. The breakfasts are average at best (no vegetables, one kind of cheese). Altogether average hotel, good for maybe for 2-3 nights stay.

“good hop stop on the Island”

i was travelling to Funchal Madeira and could not land because of the winds and was diverted to Porto Santo. Late at night and pin in the map i found the Inatel. It was surprisingly good for the price ( around £50 per night including breakfast) spacious room with additional sitting room. Nothing spectacular but clean and comfortable and would recommend to budget travellers
