Magnificent location right on the beach. Elegant but relaxed vibe. Wonderful food. The staff was very attentive to our every need. The only downside was we couldn’t stay longer.

Lovely room with a beautiful view. The staff has been incredibly helpful. The location is amazing. We are here in the off season, so the bar/restaurant are closed. But-otherwise, it has been a fantastic stay!

This is at best a 3 star hotel that has a 5 star beach. The rooms are very basic and quite dated. Breakfast was horrible and there is no fresh coffee, you can only get some from a dispenser machine until the pool bar opens later in the day. The staff was friendly overall but we found it very odd to be told a few days into our stay we had to leave the beach and go to the pool if we had not booked beach chairs ahead of time when there was always several of them sitting empty. Would I recommend this resort, probably not. Would I stay again, absolutely not.

I had an absolutely wonderful time and so grateful to everyone who works at the hotel for making my stay so memorable ❤️ The property is right on the beach which I believe is the only one on the coast, it’s further away from the centre but still walkable or with easy bus or taxi ride: I would strongly recommend to anyone to check this place out :)

Peaceful

Very quiet because it was the shoulder season. This meant a few amenities weren't available (restaurant closed so no breakfast or dinner options for example).

Location is removed from town but beachfront was completely empty as a result.

If you want peace and quiet, this is the place.

Apartment on the beach

Hotel on the beach as advertised.
I would say 3 stars compared with others i have stayed in.
Good pool with a deeper side which is good for exercise.
The only one i have seen in Porto Santo so far.
Some people keep putting towels on sun chairs to reserve a place ...against instructions of the hotel.
Good value for money for a couple with 2 kids.
Beach/pool towels too small for big guys.
Bar outside pool with nice drinks and a nice lady Diana.
Anyway..positive stay

Good hotel but with little around.

Flight diverted from Madeira due to high wind and made unscheduled overnight stop in Porto Santo. Nice little island but very little to see except beaches. Got last minute booking at the hotel. Good hotel with good facilities. But very little around except a beach. Not exactly suitable for this time of the year. I am sure it will be great for summer season.

great location directly on the beach. staff were terrific and very helpful. the hotel itself in lobby is clean and beautiful but the rooms could use some general maintenance which I'm sure they will do but our stay there was so quiet, private and we didn't care if the walls or trim needed some general upkeep privacy and beach location was the key to a terrific stay there. having a kitchen was great we cooked some meals in the room that were excellent. lots of pots and pans, bowls, cutlery etc. rented a scooter across the street and toured the island. perfect extended our stay for 2 more days we loved it so much.

5 star location 3 star hotel

The Luamar won't be beaten for location, being directly on the beach with stunning views and a great outdoor pool area. Against my better judgement we paid the supplement for sea view apartment and I have to confess it was brilliant and completely worthwhile.
The breakfast was really good, staff friendly/efficient and a lovely local restaurant across the road.
The biggest disappointed was the apartment itself (1 bed)- extremely small, very dated and no air conditioning in the main room (where our children were sleeping). Ideally you'll need 2 bedroom apartment for a family of 4.
Overall we had a great time and it's tough to knock the hotel on the basis of the room as we spent so little time there....however, whilst the location is 5 star, the hotel is 3 star at best.
Porto Santo is a delight.

Nice for beach vacations

This is an hotel good for people who want to relax at a beach. The hotel has stairs directly to the beach. It does not offer in site all inclusive packages, which, for me, is an advantage but it may be different for others. It is located between two bigger hotels and, some times, one gets the noise (beach music) from the contiguous hotels. But the beach of Luamar is the least crowded from the 3 hotels. The facilities are not luxury but they are pleasant enough. Most apartments (if not all) have nice balconies. A view to the beach may include a view to the pool which, sometimes, is crowded with children and, obviously, noisy. So, the solution is to go to the beach and walk along the beach.

The hotel was not new, but really in great condition, close to the ocean, with nice pool and deck chairs to use for free. We stayed only one night, as we were staying in Funchal for the whole week. The hotel had a mini bus service to take us to the town, which was very helpful. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

A minute walk from the magical beach

We stayed in a apartment for 5 nights. It was on the ground floor and it took us 1 min to walk from our room to the magical beach of Porto Santo.
The room was big and cozy and it felt good to stay there. The breakfast was nice.
The only negative thing about our stay was the fact the pool was close due to urgent repair work. This wasn´t known when we booked and we only found out when we arrived. The hotel offered no compensation was offer for this.
But with the hotel being on the beach this issue with the pool was not a big thing for us.
It was easy to get a taxi and the nearest bus stop is ca 300 m from the hotel. But the nearest grocery story is ca 1,5 km away.

Localização e Equipa 5 Estrelas.

Localização e equipa 5 estrelas.
Por se tratar de um projeto antigo, já convinha uma modernização (o que permitiria, inclusive, uma melhor rentabilização), cuidando, inclusive, para as unidades terem maior privacidade (a inversão das estruturas metálicas verdes de um lado para o outro das varandas, ajudaria nessa questão da privacidade). Eu tive um problema pontual: o ar condicionado do quarto não refrigerava e, depois de duas noites mal dormidas (o apartamento tomava o Sol à tarde) e duas visitas do técnico sem resultar, pedi a troca de apartamento, e essa questão foi assim resolvida.

Um paraíso a não perder de vista!

Estadia bastante agradável, num hotel com uma localização excelente, na primeira linha da praia, com funcionários muito prestáveis e simpáticos. Pequeno almoço com qualidade e diversidade. Uma outra mais-valia foi, sem dúvida, a do transporte gratuito do hotel até ao centro, e vice-versa, numa viatura para o efeito (pois optámos por não levar carro) e, no dia do check-out, pudemos permanecer na unidade hoteleira até à hora embarque. Recomendamos vivamente!

On the beach

The hotel is right on the beach, ca. one hour's walk to the town centre, complementary minibus gets you to and from in the morning and afternoon. Sadly no such shuttle from or to the ferry. A local bar across the road serves good meals. The apartments are furnished with essentials for making own food. So-called \"minimarket\" was very limited in choice, but a quick trip into town on the shuttle is all that is needed to fill the fridge. Very clean swimming pool.

Recomiendo este lugar para quien quiera disfrutar de unas vacaciones de relax en una preciosa playa de fina arena. El hotel está a pie de playa y solo tienes que dejarte caer de la tumbona de la piscina para disfrutar de la fina arena y de un agua cristalina.

Excelente trato por parte de todo el personal del Apartahotel.
