Fantastic location and the ocean view rooms are exceptional. The ocean is even visible from the bathroom, and the terrace was quite spacious. The waves were audible at all times of the day - just perfect! Staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was generous, with coffee made the way you want. The bathrooms were also renovated and spacious, and rooms were cleaned daily. We'd gladly come back!

We found the beds quite firm and springy. I guess we're just used to a thicker, softer mattress and thicker blanket. Parking isn't guaranteed out the front of the hotel, so you might have to park a short walk away. We never had an issue though, and all car parks are free in Porto da Cruz.

The accommodation is located in a very nice small town, in a beautiful environment, next to huge mountains. The staff is very friendly. From the room you can clearly hear the roar of the sea and the sound of the waves. The breakfast is plentiful (you can order several things from the list). The hotel also has a restaurant where you can eat right next to the sea (beautiful !) You can park around the house. Directly opposite the hotel there is a real local "snack bar" with a nice owner and another restaurant about 100 meters away.

Our room (306) was very small, despite the description, it didn't even have a table. The breakfast was delicious, you can choose several things from the menu (you don't have to pay separately), but since there are only a few people in the kitchen, it was prepared very slowly. It took about half an hour to get our order. It's very interesting that we didn't get vegetables for breakfast, but when we had dinner, we had everything and the kitchen was fast.

I need to say that we had the luck to have the nicest receptionist. On the day of our arrival, there were extreme weather conditions and the lady from the reception called us to make sure that we are ok as she knew we should hike on that day. That was a really sweet gesture. And she didn't hesitate to help us later during our trip when we wanted to accommodate in the hotel once again but as it was fully booked, she gave us a lift to a near-by city where we found some available accommodation for the night. Total angel that saved us on that day. I don't really need any fancy room to sleep but what always warms up my heart is the people and their kindness :). And that's exactly what I've found in Costa Linda! Many thanks once again.

The hotel is located by the ocean, we could literally hear the sound of ocean waves from our room! We had an amazing stay - perfect for those who want to spend their hiking trips or holidays in less crowded locations! The close proximity of beautiful green scenery as well as the ocean made it possible for us to visit breathtaking parts of the island (even though we did not rent a car)! It was idyllic for us as nature enthusiasts! The local food was also delicious, embracing the uniqueness of the region as well as the island! We are definitely coming back in the future!<3

Fantastic location near the sea in Porto Da Cruz. There are several restaurants within 1 minutes walk & a supermarket, farmacy, ATM & bus stop. The room had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable, the shower was powerful & hot, loads of space, and a outside seating area too. The breakfast is table service, tea/coffee, eggs, bacon, bread, yogurt, fruit- good & quick. Also noteworthy is the receptionist (sorry, we don’t know her name) but a font of knowledge & delightful.

it’s a bit dated, a tad mouldy but it’s a really good hotel for a budget price…..oh yeah, there are church bells, they seem to start at 6.30am

Our room located on the top floor with amazing ocean views. The room was guite small but the balcony compensated it fully. It was partly covered and you could sit there when raining. We enjoyed just to sit on the balcony, drink wine and listen roaring of the sea. Breakfast was servered at ground floor in their own restaurant. Restaurant has also a terrace next to sea. It was nice to have dinner so close to sea front. They do not have own parking, but it was easy to find street parking in front of the hotel. There are other restaurants and a mini market nearby. A great base for car trips to the rest of the island. Levada Caldeirão Verde was unbelievable experience.

Only thing we missed was a small fridge.

Incredible location, the rooms have a large terrace with a breathtaking view to the bay. Checking in/out was easy. Bathroom was spacious.

The beds were old and squeaky, there were not enough shampoo provided, no coffee nor tea in the room (only kettle and sugar). Fish of the day in the restaurant was very expensive (we paid 54 euros for two pieces of fish with vegetables, an orange juice and a glass of wine). Breakfast was not a buffet, with limited choices.

Can't beat the view - I could see the ocean right from the bathroom. In my opinion, very good bang for your buck. Personal was very nice and helpful.

In the winter season, nights are quite cold for me, so the provided blanket is not enough. Although they provided the second one, the blanket does not heat as featherbed would. The room was quite small - there is not much space around the bed, so it's better to spend your time on the bed, on your terrace, or outside.

Great view. Friendly service. Good breakfast. Freshly prepared hot breakfast. You choose a few items from the menu for the main. + bread, fruit and yogurt. I thought toast is simple slice of bread but it was toasted sandwich. It is quiet location, yet there are few restaurants to choose from. I tried theirs for dinner. Madeira specialty on the menu. I tried grilled black scabbardfish. It was very nice. Also orange flavor homemade flan was good. Passion fruit cheese cake looked so good, too.

I wish they have refrigerator and electric kettle in a room. I do not think they have AC or heater. I did not need one but it maybe hot in Summer? I opened the window / door to the balcony. They do not have parking. It was not high season and it was OK to find street parking. Maybe it an be hard in Summer?

The hotel staff were brilliant. Breakfast was good - plenty of choice. Location good - very short walk to a decent choice of cafés/restaurants. Balcony with good view of Porto da Cruz.

Not the fault of the hotel but it was disappointing that the salt-water pools were out of action during our stay. Again, not the hotel’s fault but we had very little sunshine during our three days there.
