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.

Hidden gem
It was a one day solo trip because the hotel was near the airport and offered a free shuttle when I got there. I was totally surprised by the service from the front desk. The wait staff and everybody there with a pleasant surprise Fabrício and Bernardo are especially helpful to me along with, Anna and Sarah what a wonderful stay there made

Our third stay at this superb hotel and we were welcomed back by many of the staff who were there on previous occasions. The staff are brilliant, attentive without being obtrusive. The food is excellent and the rooms very comfortable. Excellent facilities for what is quite a small hotel, which is why we like it so much and no doubt will be returning.

This is a small hotel but with all the amenities of a larger establishment. The rooms are well appointed and big and if you stay in the main building every room has a terrace/balcony with sea view. The food is excellent and reasonably priced for a hotel of this standard. Most importantly the staff are absolutely wonderful. I can not praise them highly enough.

A great hotel. Perfect for a simple break. Charming place with brilliant staff, comfy beds and good food. It is near the airport but the planes are not actually a bother- the main problem is that you can hear the road behind you but it isnt loud and really didn’t bother us. Really enjoyed our stay.

So much more than a hotel near the airport
We just stayed one night on our way home from a week in Madeira because the Albatroz was so close to the airport - we really liked it and would have been happy to stay longer. The staff were incredibly welcoming in these difficult times and had taken every precaution to protect against the covid virus. We were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine and a bowl of fruit which was lovely. We enjoyed swimming in all of the pools - especially the salt water pool and in the sea. Would thoroughly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay near Santa Cruz. We did not find the the airport disturbing (though flights were much reduced) and it was very useful to be able to enjoy so much comfort so close to the airport and just before a really early flight.

Difficult to fault
Just amazing. Close to the airport yet all you can hear is sea breeze and waves. Pickup from the terminal took about 5 minutes. Staff are incredibly professional and friendly. English is excellent. The rooms are large, bed is king size and super comfortable, everything is high quality. It’s a 10 minute walk to Santa Cruz for great restaurants or a 30 minute walk to Machico for shopping. Breakfast and dinner at Hibiscus (the hotel’s restaurant will not disappoint.) Wifi was good everywhere. I would recommend the superior rooms but regardless of your room you’ll be looked after very well. They are fastidious about covid safety and I congratulate them on creating a super safe environment. After 3 days at Albatroz we are now in Funchal and wish we were back at Albatroz.

One of the best hotels I have stayed in. The reason are the amazing people who cared for us. A special mention for Carolina, Duarto, Mr. Coelho, Cedanyu, Fabricio and the person who made our omlettes (sorry can’t spell his name). We also availed of the spa services and the lady was really good. Got rid of quite a few of my shoulder knots. It felt like we were living with family. The hotel is set in a fabulous location overlooking the Atlantic. The rooms are bright airy and spacious. The decor is beautiful. Breakfast was sumptuous and the service was thoughtful. As we had to isolate on our first night, we had room service with the amazing Fabricio helping us to make our choices. The complimentary champagne they provided us was very good. Carolina was helpful in providing information regarding the area and we benefitted from a lovely walk from the hotel to Santa Cruz village. The pools were delightful and we spent a lovely time in this delightful hotel. If you are looking for a personalised experience in a 5 star setting with great food, wine and facilities then this is the place for you. It gives me great pleasure in recommending this quaint boutique hotel.

Excellent place next to the airport
The hotel was empty (well it was February) so we had the run of the place. Staff were excellent, the facilities decent, and the pool area is the most instagramable thing you’ll see this year. Dinner wasn’t amazing, but who cares when you’re served with such grace and good humour

We recently spent 3 nights here. Stunning setting, friendly helpful staff, large comfortable rooms overlooking the ocean, fantastic breakfast and restaurant. 3 large pools. We ate at the restaurant twice, and have yet to find food as good elsewhere on Madeira. The Scabbard fish Madeira style or flambe were both outstanding. Breakfast included wonderful fresh fruit, eggs to order, assorted meats, cheeses, breads, and croissants. Meals can be eaten on a veranda overlooking the water. The hotel has its own exit off the highway, but it is only on one side, so it can be tricky to find the first time you arrive. Although close to the airport, it is very quiet.

This is an outstanding hotel. The staff were incredibly helpful and charming, both at the reception desk and in the restaurant, providing a very high standard of service. They really made one feel welcome and that it was very important to them that one enjoyed every aspect of one's stay. I liked very much that the restaurant plays soft piano music and does not have a TV, so you can really escape from modern life. The chef is obviously exceptional. The location is beautiful and the Atlantic pool in particular is a wonderful place to swim. The rooms are very well equipped with wonderful views.

Exceptional Service & Attention to Detail
Spotlessly clean and extremely well maintained rooms. Impressive attention to detail and very tasteful touches abound. No cutting corners here! All the 'little things' are clearly of a much higher quality than in other hotels claiming to be in the same category. They don't have to make the extra effort at the Albatroz, but they do, and it makes all the difference!

Lovely hotel and grounds conveniently close to the airport, but you'd never know it as it's very quiet.

However, it's the staff that really make the place, everyone was unfailingly welcoming, pleasant, and informative, we really hated to leave!
