Hotel Praia Dourada

Arrived on the 29 December 2023. Extremely friendly and efficient staff, they couldn't do enough for us. Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was a self service continental type. Great choice of food etc. I will definitely stay here again. Everything was very reasonable priced. Car hire at 42 euro a day, we only needed to have a car for one day as the island is 11km by 6km approx. Short walk from hotel to beach and town square where all the activities take place wonderful mountain restaurants. You can arrange a lift free of charge to these restaurants from the hotel.

The bed was ok. All equipment did work as it should. Room service staff was very good. Food was great. Location just perfect. All spots you can get in walking distance. The reception staff was very helpful. We were able to stay longer because off our flight was only in the evening. We highly recommend this hotel. We will stay at this hotel again next time we'll come to Porto Santo. Antanas and Rita from Ireland...

We booked along with the Porto santo line ferry from Funchal. As soon as we got there at 11:40, our room was ready which was a huge relief as we had a 3 year old and a 9 month old baby with us. The room was big enough for us and the beds were comfy. They had set up a travel cot with a sheet and blankets for baby and the cot was in really good condition! There was a mini fridge in the room which was very helpful with us having baby bottles. The air conditioning worked really well, very pleased as it was very hot and we have two sweaty children lol! The shower unit was a little small but for a nights stay we didn’t really mind. The staff were extremely friendly, every staff member was smiling and was happy to answer any of our questions. There was always cleaning staff dotted around which was good as I saw them cleaning around the hotel all the time. We didn’t use the pool but it was an alright size and the water looked clear. We needed to use a microwave and hot water for baby bottle and they kindly let us go down to the restaurant area whenever we wanted to go and fill up our hot flask and microwave out bottles. We personally loved the breaskfast! It was a continental breakfast so pastries, bread, cereal etc. The only small downside is there is no lift, we luckily stayed on the first floor so it wasn’t so bad but we did leave the pram downstairs which they were happy for us to do. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

This hotel is truly a little gem. Staff are all so courteous, helpful and friendly. Continental breakfast was excellent and the bedrooms were spotless. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were very soft.The Colombo bar/restaurant serves great food and cocktails. Having entertainment at the Colombo was added value. Will certainly recommend to friends and family. Brilliant central location to beach, shops and restaurants. Price was very reasonable. Hope to return one day.

Staff is very kind and nice and rooms are comfortable and clean but the acoustic insulation is nonexistent. You can hear other guests talking loudly on the corridor during the night and partying all night long in adjacent rooms. I contacted reception about it and they confirmed the noise and partying and even knocked on some doors to ask people to not be so loud but I feel it was not enough as the party continued once the reception gentleman was gone. They said the hotel was maximum capacity and they couldn't provide another room that night only on the following night. If you want to rest and enjoy the silence this is a place to avoid.
