The hotel feels very dated, especially considering the price charged. The only real positive is its proximity to the beach.

Unfortunately, the photos are quite misleading. The pool area is much smaller than expected, and there aren’t nearly enough umbrellas or sunbeds for guests, making it difficult to relax comfortably.

Breakfast was also disappointing, with very limited options and poor quality for what is advertised as a 4-star hotel.

Overall, this stay did not meet expectations, and I would not return.

Love this hotel! We stay at this hotel 3-4 times per season. The staff is amazing & go out of their way to assist you. Included breakfast has something to satisfy everyone with once again, great service staff. The hotel & restaurant are right ON the beach.Nothing like watching the sunrise while having breakfast. The hotel has an old world Madeira feel to it & you will never forget it. It is within walking distance to shopping & restaurants. The bike/motorcycle etc. rental shop is just up the hill. Note to bikers, they are redoing all the sewer lines heading up to Calheta beach & roads are terrible & dangerous. Bike path is even worse, nothing but terrible bumps & holes. Took quite a fall as result of the very bad pavement. But the restaurant overlooking the beach at Calheta is magnificent, so take a taxi, bus or just walk.
The room was clean and no carpet, thank goodness. There is English language television which is nice. The patio outside our room was spacious with table & chairs to enjoy.
Once again, notice the old world Madeira in the lounge furniture in the lobby areas, these are all handmade and spectacular. Can't wait to go again!

Air conditioning did not work Front desk offered absolutely no instructions or information for hotel amenities. We either had to figure things out on our own ( breakfast , pool towels, gate access to beach, restaurant access) or go and ask. Nice location and property but staff could have been more forthcoming and helpful

Third time is a charm

This was our 3rd stay in less than 1 year at this hotel. Just love it. The hotel has such a wonderful mid-century vibe but the star of the hotel is the staff. We checked in with a large group in front of us and although we had a reservation the hotel was full and we were given an upgrade. Can't forget to comment on the breakfast, it is wonderful and a full breakfast with meats & eggs & pastries. I normally do not eat breakfast but do when staying here.The beach is right out the back door. There is lovely swimming pool & tanning area. It is so clean - Check out the extra toilet paper roll, some talent there. It is only a short walk into town & bike rentals are at the top of the hill. I must do a special comment to Ania for her over the top service. The ownership is lucky to have such upbeat and helpful staff. We will be going again soon for a relaxing 4 days. It is only a 2 1/2 hour ferry ride from Funchal with a bus at the port to take you to the center of town. Cost is 1.6 euro. When you leave, it is in the same place to take you back to the ferry. We did the Island bus tour this time, our expectations were low, but it was recommended by Ania, only cost 10 euro per person and well worth the 2 1/2 hour tour.

A must hotel for a Porto Santo visit.

This was our 2nd visit & it did not disappoint. We will return annually to this hotel. The staff is so knowledgeable & friendly. Hotel is easy access to shopping area with bike rental a 5 minute walk away. Hotel offers wonderful breakfast with fruit, yogurts, cheeses,meats, and also hot service of eggs, bacon,mushrooms, etc. Love the breads & pastries! Room was spacious & comfortable with view of gardens. Bathroom could use a bit of upgrade (reason for a 4 rating). The hotel outdoor cafe sits on the beach! Golden sand for all with beach towels provided by the hotel. This is an amazing hotels with fabulous staff. There is a very inexpensive bus from the ferry to center of town and then a 5-10 minute walk to the hotel. (No taxi necessary) Take the lido walk closer to the beach for better trolley pulling pavement, it offer stunning views of the dunes and foliage. This is a great hotel for a romantic holiday for fun with the family. Just love it!

The room was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The only downside was the limited breakfast options, but it was still satisfactory.

Horrible experience

We have book a 4 stars hotel to get more confort,
We booked a bedroom with balcony, on the arrival we get a bedroom with no balcony, then we need it to wait untill 6.30pm to get our balcony bedroom,
As you see on the pictures the hotel has no condition to be 4 stars should be 3 stars hotel.
The weather in porto santo was a bit rainy, so we spend some more time on the hotel. They didnt had any bars or restaurants open to the guests inside the hotel, its durty. And you will boring if you go to these hotel. Evan the gym was durty the machines was sweaty from previous people only thing they have on the gym is treadmills and bikes, we felt so boring on the hotel.
Then they have a restaurante open to the public and guests all together on the 1st day we went there for our lunch my salad was old and black and we wait 1hr.45mints, next day we just take the risk of just having a coffee we ask for the flat whites and was horrible and we wait 1hr for it. And paid 3€ for 2 coffees, if you got up the road you pay half of the price for the 2. Ill never go to these hotel ever again

Romantic Escape to a Paradise Island

We only spent one night at the hotel as we were in an apartment in Funchal for a week and had a jaunt to Porto Santo on the ferry. It was a treat from start to finish. Porto Santo Island is very beautiful and peaceful after the hustle and bustle of Madeira's capital and the hotel was ideally situated on the outskirts of the main(!) town, Vila Baleira and right on the long, sandy beach. The room was spacious and the bed was huge! Everything was clean and well presented and if you wanted sun loungers and a pool they were provided and with a glorious view. The fact that the hotel is built around an old tower gives it character too.

We had a lunch in the beachside restaurant - salad and burger - and the food was good. We had dinner elsewhere but the breakfast was excellent with a huge and varied buffet and generous opening hours , from early till late. All in all, a delightful experience and at a surprisingly reasonable price.

Super hotel. Right on the beach. Lovely staff.

Arrived late off the ferry. The young lady iat reception was lovely. Hotel directly on the beach with a great beach restaurant and beach bar/restaurant . Brilliant location only a couple of minutes into the centre We walked a long way up the beach on the first day and passed two snack and beach bars. The sea and Beach are lovely and clean. Last day we asked if the room had someone in after us , I think it did but they said we could keep it until 3.30. All the staff were really pleasant and helpful. I wanted to stay longer but hoping to return late September

Na minha opinião os pontos fortes do Torre Praia Hotel são: Localização excelente, limpeza esmerada, pequeno almoço muito bom. Os pontos fracos, mas aceitáveis são o ruído das portas dos quartos quando fecham e também os colchões das camas, que são demasiado duros para pessoas idosas e provavelmente bons para os jovens.

Vi hadde et supert opphold mellom 22.04-25.04.
God beliggenhet og vennlig personale som gjorde sitt ytterste for at vi skulle være fornøyde.
Rommet ble rengjort daglig,høflig renholdspersonale som gjorde god jobb.
Deilig frokost og bra tilbud med nærliggende restauranter. Skal du spise middagsbuffet på hotellet må det forhåndsbestilles.
Nydelig sandstrand rett nedenfor hotellet.
Vi hadde ikke sjøutsikt,men det gjorde ikke noe,var et rolig område.
Det var et supermarked ikke langt unna hotellet,kort kjøretur med bil.
Nøkkelkortet til rommet kunne også brukes til å komme inn porten til hotellets parkering.
Vi vil bruke dette hotellet igjen! Angret på at vi ikke hadde booket flere netter…

Anbefales !

Usine à touristes chère - qualité très moyenne

Très difficile de trouver un hébergement à Porto Santo en période estivale, nous avons donc dû nous rabattre sur cet hôtel, qui n'est pas vraiment notre style - un gros hôtel/usine à touristes.
Les points forts:
- la proximité avec la plage, avec un accès direct
- un service agréable et toujours disponible
Les points faibles:
- Le manque de propreté, avec des quantités ébouriffantes de poussières, des sanitaires mal nettoyés, et des tâches de diverses origines sur les draps...
- Insonorisation inexistante au niveau des portes, avec bruits d'aspirateurs constants du petit matin au soir
- le petit-déjeuner copieux mais de faible qualité
- le prix aberrant pour ce niveau d'hébergement

Reparações Urgentes

A estadia no contexto geral foi agradável, mas o sistema de escoamento da água no duche funciona mal, o que obriga a interromper o fluxo de água em constantes intervalos para evitar inundações, que provavelmente já aconteceram anteriormente como se pode observar na parte inferior dos móveis.

Personnel insuffisamment formé et informé. Chambres vieillissantes, pas de prestations (eau, café, verre d’acceuil, savons, chaussons, mouchoirs) et aucune documentation en français. Coffre payant en sus… Wifi OK. Le restaurant Corsario est super, dommage que nous ne l’ayons découvert par nous-même qu’à la fin du séjour… Pas vraiment un quatre étoiles.

Struttura con accesso diretto sulla bella,ampia e lunga spaiggia di Porto Santo. Hotel pulitissimo, arredato semplicemente ma con gusto; curata anche la parte esterna; presente piscina oltre a lettini ed ombrellon. Molto buona la colazione con discreta scelta di cibo \"dolce\" e \"salato\". Ottima, tra l'altro, la qualità e varietà di frutta, gustosissima con provenienza dalla vicina isola di Madeira. Hotel frequentato prevalentemente da turisti nord europei (in particolare, tedeschi) e portoghesi. Clientela molto tranquilla. L' hotel ha l'ulteriore pregio di essere vicino al gradevole centro abitato di Porto Santo, raggiungibile con una brevissima (2 minuti) passeggiata. Da consigliare a chi desidera, pertanto, essere libero e non \"vincolato\" a rimanere per gran parte della vacanza tra le mura dello stesso resort.

Bien placé mais vieillissant

Nous avons bénéficié de l'une des rares chambres sans balcon avec vue sur... le parking. Quelle déception ! Impossible de changer de chambre, l'hôtel était complet et impossible de dormir paisiblement. Une partie des chambres donne sur le hall d'accueil: on entendait les conversations du hall et du parking et les femmes de ménage passer l'aspirateur dans le hall à 8h du matin. De plus, nous espérions profiter du sauna et des bains à remous. Mais ces derniers ne fonctionnaient pas. Re-déception !
Nous sommes allés nous détendre et profiter du spa de l'hôtel vila baleira, que nous recommandons chaudement.

Les points positifs : la chambre était spacieuse et propre, le petit-déjeuner varié, le centre-ville est juste à côté et les jolis espaces extérieurs.

Die Zimmerpreise in der Hochsaison empfanden wir als sehr hoch für die Zimmergrösse und und die gebotene Aussicht auf das Gitter eines Sportplatzes. Das Wlan war kostenlos, aber nur im Lobbybereich.
