Clean, comfortable rooms with an amazing breakfast buffet. Views from rooms where amazing. Close to airport. Very helpful and friendly staff. Rooms a bit dated and pool area could use a refresh but overall a great stay.
This made our canceled flight experience a bit better :-)
This is a smaller, wonderful hotel - a hidden gem! It's very well managed with fantastic staff and an attentive owner who visits often to sample the fantastic locally-sourced food.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club. We received a warm welcome. The staff were very friendly and helpful, making every effort to ensure our stay was as comfortable as possible. We had a lovely room with everything we needed. The pool in the sea is unique, and the food was excellent. We were even offered a shuttle service without having to ask. I highly recommend the Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club to everyone, and it will definitely be my first choice again on my next visit to Madeira.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.
The environment is incredibly calm, clean, and spacious. A huge thank you to the team—with a special mention to the reception and restaurant staff for their exceptional hospitality. The dining experience exceeded all expectations, both in the quality of the food and the attentive service. We are already looking forward to our next stay!
Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Airport transfer included at a time to suit us. Weather was bad so we couldn’t try the pools or tennis court but all looked nice
Booked due to our cancelled flight, was a quick checked in and very professional service. Room was clean and spacious. After a long wait for our flight back to London and then be cancelled a nice place to rest is all we needed. Thanks for the complimentary bow of fruits delivered to our room and a litre of drinking water. They also offered an airport transport which is a big bonus.
From the moment we were picked up at the airport, Carolina our driver and receptionist, was extremely pleasant, courteous, precise and always with a smile and happy to help (restaurant reservations, taxi arrangements, small breakfast for early morning before we left); other employees to recognize are Francisco and Claudia at the breakfast/dinner area as they were very attentive to us.
Our room #11 was spacious, very clean with a beautiful open view of the Atlantic Ocean.Bed was very comfortable with three pillows for each guest. All white! Fruits and a liter bottle of water were provided at arrival in our room as well as a small bottle of water for each guest every day of our stay.Pool towels and a spacious bag for the pool area were provided.
Breakfast was delicious and many varieties of fresh fruits on display. Varieties of fresh bread, cheeses. Omelette made upon request!
Overall, I will highly recommend Albatroz Hotel! Thank you to the manager and the employees for making our stay a memorable experience!
A lovely hotel at walking distance from the nice village of St Cruz and conveniently located for everything else. Beautiful rooms and decor, skilled service, great quality restaurant.
The staff here, whether at the front desk to the restaurant staff were so incredibly nice and made our stay here wonderful. 10/10 recommend, and will definitely be coming back if ever in the area.
An attractive hotel featuring kind and welcoming staff . Beautiful swimming pools and gardens . The interior felt a little dated, especially in the library/game room area . The door key cards were a little problematic . But. the staff were delightful !
Absolutely loved this place. Staff incredible, property secluded and private. The ocean saltwater pool is so cool and unique. Beautiful views, we will definitely be back one day.
We wanted to make our anniversary special, so we chose this hotel for its location, pools and mention of a restaurant. Everything was prepared beautifully. I truly wish I remembered the names of the staff or had written them down. There was an older gentleman and a woman with braces in the restaurant that were so incredibly attentive and kind. There was a woman with glasses and a gentleman with facial hair at the front desk that were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They made this location an 11/10. We could not be happier with the level of service provided. I could not imagine a better stay in Madeira.
The extra touches… fruit basket when I arrived, daily treats delivered to room before supper, incredible food, especially fish dish with banana. The ocean saltwater pools, sun deck with service next to heated pool … staff very kind and friendly, they treated me like a king.
The view and rhythmic gentle crashing of wave on the cliff below. The sunrise and sunset here is … calming to soul.
Very clean and kept resort. Flowers and grass. Close to airport and town is just a short walk
Highly recommend this resort.
Wonderful staff who can't do enough for their guests. The seawater pool is the main attraction (though the actual sea is about 1°C warmer for some reason). The food is excellent especially the scallops linguine. Very quiet despite being next door to the airport. Would stay again.
