- -I only wish the price was not that expensive, but at the end of the day the stay in this hotel is worth every penny :)

- If there was an updated sauna and hottub they wouldn’t hurt but the facilities as is was incredible. I only mentioned that if I had to choose something.

Lovely ocean level pools at resort and near town of Santa Cruz (10 minute walk along ocean)
Well maintained, excellent staff that were highly customer focussed. Facilities were well kept, loved the ocean pool and hot tub. Ocean views were wonderful. Breakfast was very well done. Very close to airport but did not hear the noise from the airport. Staff very helpful in shuttling us to and from airport. Very pleasant people.
Location was close to airport and quiet and comfortable enough for rest and relaxation. Amenities including the natural seaside pools.

Location - tranquility - view from the room - marvelous pools - natural shade by a variety of trees (no umbrellas needed!) - friendliness of staff - cleanliness of facilities - sumptuous breakfast with fresh food - ample parking space for rental cars - truly a five-star hotel with excellent value for money
Everything was fantastic.
Everything. It’s clean, close to the airport yet somehow quiet. I didn’t hear a single plane in the missile of the night. Everything worked as advertised and I can’t say enough good things about the friendly staff. The air conditioning worked really well and I had no complaints about being cool in the middle of the night. The room felt as cool as I keep it at home in the States.
If there was an updated sauna and hottub they wouldn’t hurt but the facilities as is was incredible. I only mentioned that if I had to choose something.
It was our first trip to Madeira, and I’m so glad we found this hotel. We spent three wonderful days here, and it truly made our stay special. The location is very convenient — close to the airport, yet the atmosphere is peaceful and quiet.The rooms are spacious, with large balconies overlooking the green lawns and the ocean. The hotel also has a fantastic restaurant offering a wide selection of dishes. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch there, savoring authentic European cuisine while admiring the ocean view.We celebrated our 10th anniversary during our stay, and the staff went above and beyond to make it memorable. They were exceptionally courteous, and the manager himself came out to greet us — something I hadn’t expected, but greatly appreciated. The team also helped me surprise my wife with a chilled bottle of champagne, snacks, and a beautiful Madeira-style bouquet.And of course, I can’t forget the pools — one heated, and another set just above the ocean level, creating an unforgettable experience.
High-rate service, gorgeous suite, oceanic pool, European-style restaurant, and calming atmosphere.
We wanted a convenient base to explore Madeira with our young family so Albatroz was perfect. We had a lovely quick transfer from the airport and the staff at the hotel were all so lovely. They couldn’t have done more to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The quality of the food at breakfast and dinner was also exceptional. Rooms were comfortable with everything you needed. The kids loved the heated pool and as other reviews stated, there really wasn’t any noise from the airport.
The decor is a little dated and the outside area could do with a little bit of work although we liked the charm this brought to the hotel. You can hear the motorway noise from the heated pool area.
Brilliant hotel, absolutely amazing staff, fantastic restaurant with a top class evening menu and fantastic breakfast (fresh orange juice) an incredible selection.A welcome basket in our room and a bottle of bubbles with a hand written welcome note ??Right next to the airport but so quiet and relaxing The salt water sea pool was incredible we loved it and will definitely be back
Beautiful property in a great location for hiking to Pico Ruivo and Pico Areeiro. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. They made us feel very special. The Hibiscus Restaurant had wonderful food and Fabrício was great!
The property is unique if not a little bit dated. But the staff and the food and the location make up for it. There’s a little bit of road noise and noise from the airport, but honestly, we just wanted to be close to the airport for our flight so Wasn’t a big problem for us.
lovely property, feels like you on a cruise but not stocked in a boat. we walked to Santa Cruz a few times and found some decent restaurants but no one beat the property restaurant
the walkway to Santa Cruz was under construction and made it a bit though toget around
The hotel is 3 min from the airport with car We spent three nights and it was amazing The staff is very friendly and welcoming They help us with everything we need The room is big enough and with awesome view to the ocean
This hotel is brilliant. There is excellent sound proofing so you don't hear noise from the highway or the airport even when outside. You just hear the sea. In my opinion some hotels claim to be 5 star but aren't. This one is. Excellent food, drink, and service. If you want somewhere special and hassle free in Madeira this is it. Salt water pool and heated outdoor pool both excellent.
The staff. They were brilliant - they made us feel incredibly welcome and their service was excellent. We had a wonderful meal in the restuarant, our room was large and very comfortable with ocean views and the proximity to the airport (3 minutes away) made it very convenient. From the time of my call to the hotel car pulling up at the airport terminal building was around 5 minutes. Fantastic!
We could not find fault with anything and when we next need a overnight stay between flights we will definitely stay here.
The property was beautiful and clean. Breakfast was delicious. Loved the balcony and view. Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
I don’t really have anything negative to say. Some people might not like being right at the airport but it didn’t bother us at all.
Everything, location is breathtaking, the bed is extremely comfortable and the pool is something unreal
