“This is the hardest place I've ever had to leave! In five decades of travel and hospitality l've seldom come across a hotel that show such generosity of spirit. Clearly envisioned, designed and created with passion, attention to detail and the ability to "divine" exactly what guests want and need. The Albatroz team without exception epitomise the word "hospitality" - everyone prepared to go the extra mile - and with a smile! This week in these blissful surroundings has passed all too quickly.

“I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. Our return flight was canceled with two hours to get our rental car back to the airport, and there was one ocean view room available here. It was an easy decision to take the room once we knew it would be reimbursed by our airline. I immediately used the gym to get a quick workout before a soak in the bathtub (finally got to use the bath bomb I’d brought with me!). We ate lunch, dinner, then breakfast at the restaurant. Every meal was simple and so delicious. We had piña coladas ordered to the hot tub after an hour+ at the seaside pool and swimming in the ocean beside it. I will never forget this place, which so elegantly welcomed us with a bottle of champagne, custard tarts, and fresh fruit to celebrate our bonus, last day of our honeymoon. We drank the champagne in their garden, which has some incredible, truly gigantic plants. There was no better way to spend that day, and I thank everyone involved for maintaining such a comfortable and lovely place to stay.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club. The location is simply unbeatable — perched on the edge of the ocean with breathtaking views and easy access to both nature and nearby attractions. What truly made the stay exceptional was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely committed to making our stay as pleasant as possible. Their hospitality exceeded all expectations. The tennis court, set against the backdrop of the sea, is very nice. The pool area down by the ocean is spectacular. It’s peaceful, beautifully designed, and feels like your own private retreat. Very good restaurant as well. We were lucky enough to extend our stay by two extra nights, and so grateful we did. It gave us more time to soak in the peaceful atmosphere and enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. We will definitely be back. This place is a true gem.

We stayed here for the last night of our honeymoon in Madeira and wish we stayed longer! It has a good location where it is easy to get around the island from to see viewpoints and hikes. All the staff we encountered were incredible - warm, professional and kind. They gave us a bottle of champagne to enjoy because of our honeymoon which was very sweet. We had an early flight home as well and they kindly packed us breakfast bags to take with us. The beds were really comfortable and the views of the water were unforgettable. We enjoyed the pools as well which were stunning. We would definitely stay here again!

“Home away from home.Fantastic small hotel with incredibly hospitable staff. Everything you could ask for... Good food, 2 pools (one in the ocean), a tennis court, a little fitness area, massages, a sauna and beautiful and well kept surroundings. Even though you are right belowIf I had to nitpick:A hanger for the hand towels below the sink would be nice and the floor of tennis court could use a little repairing... thats about everything negative I can come up with.It was already our third time there and it felt like coming to our home away from home again. Thanks so much for the wonderful time and all the best wishes to Olena, Carolina, Adriana, Claudia, Francesco, Fabrizio and Diogo! We will definitely come again.”

“This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing. The ocean views are absolutely stunning, and waking up to that is really special. The staff are warm, professional, and it’s such a nice touch to be recognized when you come back. Albatroz has definitely become one of those places we know we can return to for a peaceful escape. Already looking forward to the next visit.”

“The staff, especially Olena, went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Although I hadn’t booked my tour in advance, she managed to arrange a car with a very knowledgeable driver for the entire day. Francisco from the restaurant was also incredibly helpful and kind. The massage was amazing,and last but not least,the manager was so welcoming and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best time possible. The property is situated 20 minutes from downtown, offering a serene and peaceful environment. While this may pose a challenge for guests without a car, taxis are readily available at all hours.”

“If you’re searching for a delightful haven near the airport that combines a warm, family-like atmosphere with outstanding service, look no further. This hotel is truly a hidden gem, striking the perfect balance between intimacy and quality. Its boutique nature ensures that you feel valued and cared for, unlike the more impersonal experiences often found in larger establishments. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed into an environment where every detail matters. The attentive staff goes above and beyond to cater to your needs, making you feel like part of the family. Their genuine hospitality is complemented by the hotel’s peaceful ambiance, allowing you to unwind and relax after your travels. Despite its convenient location close to the airport, the hotel remains a tranquil sanctuary. The thoughtful touches, such as daily food canapés left in your room, enhance your stay and showcase the level of care provided. Every aspect of this charming hotel is designed to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, this delightful retreat promises a memorable stay that will make you want to return time and time again. A special thanks to Claudia , Tony and Olena for the care and attention.”

“Words cannot describe this incredible place! The hotel is located on a cliff. It has its own natural pools, heated pools, children's pool, and jacuzzi! The staff is very polite, knowledgeable and pleasant! The food in the restaurant is fresh, varied, breakfasts are delicious, even fancy. The hotel is owned by a wealthy intelligent man, and this affects everything - service, cleanliness, attitude! Thank you and your team for the time we spent in your beautiful, picturesque city! If ever I or my friends and family visit Madeira, we will definitely stay with you! Thank you also on behalf of my children - they are just impressed! Best of luck!”

“Small hotel with friendly, helpful, very kind staff. Excellent breakfast (omelettes and pancakes made to order, lots of fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, very good coffee). Top-class restaurant with a variety of local and fresh fish dishes. Hotel room was spacious, clean with balcony and ocean view. Fresh fruit in the room and welcome champagne with pastel de nata. Excellent panoramic salt water pool and heated outdoor pool in the sunbathing area. We felt really welcome.”

“Fantastic small hotel complex to feel good and as a perfect starting point for exploring the island. The location is fantastic as a starting point for exploring the island (car recommended). The property impresses with its great green/plant areas, the various pools and the beautiful sea view. The breakfast was very good with a great selection. Dinner is a delight - rarely eaten so well! The staff are fantastic, very friendly and helpful and you can switch off wonderfully and let yourself be pampered - especially after a long day exploring the island.”

The breakfast was excellent and with a chef preparing your eggs to your order. Theroom was very large and very comfy with a beautiful view over the ocean. Thebathroom very nice as well with top quality amenities. We loved the sea pool down atsea level - with easy access to the sea. The heated pool at hotel level was also great.We did also enjoy dinner with delicious food and high quality service.

I never write reviews but I'm making an exception for the Albatroz. We have justreturned from this wonderful hotel, by far the best hotel we have ever stayed in andwe've stayed in many in Europe, the US and Canada. The staff were all amazing, socourteous and friendly but I must single out one staff member for special praise.Claudia, the restaurant manager, was fantastic. She happily created cocktails from myhusband's own weird recipe, the Madeira Banana Sunrise I think we named it!! Shemade our stay at the Albatroz a truly delightful experience. If we come back to Madeira,we will definitely be staying at the Albatroz. Only downside, it's spoilt us for all otherhotels in the future.

The hotel exceeded our expectations! Everything was truly 5 stars: spacious, quietroom with a large window and balcony with a direct view of the ocean, cleanliness, anabundance of luxurious plants and thoughtful decorations of all rooms, a huge bed witha quality mattress and pillows for every taste, abundant breakfast with champagne andexquisite dinner (I highly recommend taking half board, it is profitable and convenient),responsive and friendly staff, ready to help in different languages, including Russian(Olena, thank you for your friendly attitude and useful information), well-maintainedgreen territory, three swimming pools, two of which are directly in the ocean and thethird is heated, I will just mention the bathrobe, slippers and a replenishable set ofhygiene products, as well as coffee and tea in the room, but I will separately note themeeting with champagne and a dish of fruit in the room, a bottle of Madeira and localsweets at check-out. Everything was so thoughtful and delicate that we felt welcomeand honoured to be guests in this paradisiacal place. Thank you very much to themanagement and all the hotel staff, thanks to your professional care we had awonderful holiday! We will come again!

Our second visit here, and hopefully not our last. Such a wonderful place. Friendlyhelpful staff, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food and the bonus of breakfast satoutside looking across the sea to the Desertas Islands. Really not a problem to be soclose to the airport , interesting watching the few planes coming in. Even in Novembera treat swimming in the amazing sea pools.
My wife and I spent her birthday at the Albatroz Hotel and it was a really great decision.The staff are incredible, from the reception team when you first arrive, to Claudia andthe team in the restaurant, and the incredible food! The chef prepared a deliciousbirthday cake for my wife and it was one of the best cakes that we have ever tasted. Atbreakfast the next morning the chef made an omelette to order which was prepared toperfection. We can’t wait to return to the Albatroz! Thank you once again to the team atthe Albatroz for making my wife’s birthday one of the best ever.

We fell in love with this hotel, which we stayed at at the end of our stay. The proximityof the airport is not a problem. We didn't hear any planes. The staff are adorable andare, in my opinion, the big plus of this hotel. From reception to the restaurant and bar,everyone is very attentive. We even forgot a music box in our room, which wasimmediately returned to us by post. Spotlessly clean, fantastic sea view. The seawaterpool below is incredible. I recommend this establishment.

We have just spent 3 nights at this fabulous hotel. The views are spectacular. The rooms are very clean and well maintained, but what makes this hotel amazing is the wonderful polite and helpful staff who go the extra mile to make your stay special. The moment we arrived we were picked up at the airport by Carolina who was very helpful and also showed us to our room and spent time explaining everything about the room and the hotel. All the staff on the reception were very friendly. The dining room waiters were very professional and a credit to the hotel the food was very well prepared and some of the best we have ever tasted and delivered to the table with a smile by Francisco at breakfast and the wonderful vivacious Fabricio who made us smile and relaxed at dinner.

Our 2nd stay at this fantastic Hotel. I cannot praise this establishment highly enough. The staff are without exception, the nicest and most friendly people you could wish to meet. It was our great pleasure to chat once again with Fernando Costa (Reception Manager).
This gentleman is a “Shining” Ambassador not only for the Albatroz, but for Madeira. We were made to feel very special and the facilities and accommodation are exemplary. A facet of paradise in a “Jewel” of an Island.
We cannot wait to revisit Madeira and look forward to another stay at this Enchanted Hotel. Thank you Albatroz.Kindest regards to all Albatroz staff.

Dear Albatroz-Team,
We had a pleasant stay and would say a big thank you! Obrigado!
Ich weiß gar nicht warum genau, aber man fühlt sich auf der gesamten Hotelanlage einfach nur wohl. Es ist nicht alles perfekt (Essen ...ist aber auch Geschmackssache, hier und da kleine Schönheitsreparaturen nötig, am Pool z. B.). Trotzdem würde ich jederzeit wieder dort buchen. Das Personal ist so lieb, aufmerksam und bemüht, dass man sie am liebsten beim nächsten Madeiraurlaub kurz besuchen möchte, nur um „Hallo“ zu sagen. Klar hört man mal ein Flugzeug (so viele landen und starten aber nicht auf Madeira), aber es ist nicht störend laut. Das ist unten im Ort Santa Cruz ne ganz andere Nummer! Und selbst da gibt es Hotels.
Kurz gesagt:

Wonderful experience in Madeira thanks to the Albatroz Beach hotel. Friendly staff, polite and always available. Beautiful structure, located on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Despite the proximity to the airport (10 minutes on foot) and the main road of the island behind it, there is always a surreal peace and serenity. The whole structure is surrounded by a well-kept garden. Very spacious, beautiful rooms, impeccable cleanliness. What about the pools, looking at them in the picture certainly attracts curiosity but when you find them in front of you, you are truly amazed. In short, after having toured the whole island for 10 days, I don't think I overdo it when I say that it is one of the most beautiful hotels on the whole island.

Two things I desired: I always wanted to get married in Madeira and I wanted a venue right by the sea. This private and unique place met both of my needs.
In August of 2011, I was married and I had a magical and wonderful reception; with fireworks just before midnight. I am so grateful for everything the staff accomplished as my guests were very complimentary about the food and service as well as enchanted by the scenery. The manager- was amazing as he was genuine and professional throughout; he and his staff went out of their way to meet our needs. We were provided with a free room as part as the wedding package and were allowed to stay later than check out, which gave us a chance to enjoy both pools.
Stay at Albatroz if want a quiet and secluded place to stay. This place is ideal for couples.
TIP: It would be handy to hire a car if you to explore the island further.

What a superb find ! This hotel is in a lovely position, so convenient for the airport and an ideal base to tour the whole island. The skilled and welcoming manager ensures that high standards are maintained throughout, whilst the staff are helpful and courteous at all times.
Large well equipped bedrooms with balconies overlooking the sea, there is a nice lounge and free computer access on the first floor. There is an excellent dinner menu at reasonable prices whilst breakfast is cooked to order - the fresh fruit platter is highly recommended as an interim course.
Altogether an ideal setting for a wonderful holiday, certainly we shall return.

I have been fortunate to travel extensively as far as Fiji and the Caribbean amongst many other destinations. I have to say that this hotel and its staff is the most enjoyable, relaxing and idyllic facility I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The welcome is genuine and warm, the rooms are clean tidy and modern with Wi Fi access free of charge in every room.
The restaurant is located within a few meters of the accommodation and Philip and Victorino both offer excellent service and pleasurable conversation. The menu is more than adequate and my wife and I tried a number of other restaurants in and around the Island, but found ourselves returning to this facility on our doorstep. The food is fresh and is prepared in a reasonable time with excellent quality.
The views from the rooms are looking out over the ocean and are exquisite with panoramic pleasure. The director is a very welcoming gentleman who, when asked; nothing appears to be of any trouble to him. All of the staff speak excellent English as well as other languages. I will, without doubt return to this beautiful hotel again, and recommend anyone who is looking for a relaxing trouble free holiday to visit this gem of a place. Kim West.

“Hotel staff was exceptionally helpful. We had an early morning flight after our stay and we were not only provided with complimentary transport to the airport but also some packed lunch for our way home. The hotel itself is located just a quick walk from Santa Cruz city centre so if you don’t want to stay only on the property and don’t have a car you can easily get there by foot. We were a bit worried that the hotel will be loud due to the close proximity to both the highway and the airport but you can’t really hear anything.”
22-03-2023
“This is a fantastic hotel and suited us perfectly for our stay. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The facilities were excellent, with an outdoor heated Jacuzzi and heated pool, plus the beautiful salt water pool which we swam in, in mid March. The bedroom was really spacious with a sea view, huge bed and extremely quiet so much have good soundproofing.”

“beautiful property near the airport, the rooms in the new wing have a splendid view on the bay. well furnished (maybe I could have needed some shoe cleaning gear). the staff is excellent (where in the world are you taken after registration to your room? and the luggage already there...) very convenient breakfast, shuttle at any time to the airport. i could check in earlier and was offered the last day to use the room free until 5pm-this is however only possible if there are free rooms. good experience of portuguese hospitality.”

This hotel is outstanding. Small and intimate with exhilarating views over the Atlantic. All the staff are superb...friendly, helpful and extremely efficient. The hotel is very comfortable and exceptionally clean. The restaurant is excellent. Don't be put off by it's proximity to the airport, you don't hear a thing and the courtesy transfer only takes minutes, always a bonus! Can't wait to return.

“Wonderful relaxing hotel with excellent restaurant.This is our 3rd trip to Madeira and to this hotel. We only booked the week before - it is low season in January. We were welcomed as returning guests and it was so lovely.Suite is amazing - bedroom, lounge/diner, 2 bathrooms, 2 balconies, fruit, coffee machine, kettle with tea, L'Occitaine toiletries and fluffy towels and bathrobes/slippers.The whole place is personalised service, relaxed atmosphere, helpful, friendly.The food is delicious. We were on bed, breakfast and evening meal board. Good wine list too and if you ask, they can do good cocktails. Do try the Porto Tonic with dry white port. The menu is large so plenty of wonderful food for every day. Breakfasts have such a huge selection too and eggs cooked to order.We used the heated pool and the hot tub. Also the tennis court where they provide tennis rackets and balls. The sea pool was not in use yet but you can walk down to it and see the small black crabs on the rocks. We have been there when it is in use and it is lovely.The hotel is near the airport but do not worry - it is not noisy.The gardens are colourful with beautiful flowers and cacti. Even in January, there was lot of colours Plenty of seating for a quiet read or just sit and watch the sea and look out to the Desertas Islands.We walked to Santa Cruz twice. There was a festival going on which was fun to see. Lovely big town square, nice old streets and shops. Great cafes to sit and watch the world go by. Stony beach. Outdoor pool open in summer.We drove into Funchall and Machico as well as the mountains for Levada walk. Great time and highly recommended. We will return.”

“We were staying at Villa Albatroz for the second time. One of the children had a small accident and Manager of the hotel personally came to A&E to help us out. The best service you can get.In addition villa was very clean, pool cleaned regularly and they called to confirm what time we would like the free shuttle to the airport.Highly recommend Hotel Albatroz and villa”

“Wonderful 5 Star Hotel.Beautiful, comfortable rooms, beds, views, pools and hospitality. Thank you to Olema & Cariolima who greeted us with such warmth after our flights were cancelled. Nothing was too much trouble.Thank you to Fabricio, for his patience and professionslism in the restaurant and for making us laugh. You are all a credit to the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club. We hope to return some day.”

“A beautiful hotel in an excellent location. Food and service fantastic. Staff brilliant. A wonderful place to stay whether for a short break or longer. Easy access to Airport 10 min and Funchal 20min. A marvelous swimming pool that edges the Atlantic Ocean with waves rising against the pool wall to wonderful affect and safely.”
