Porto Santo lovely. The hotel was OK but not great.Very hard beds and the food was poor. 98% Italian guests. Lovely beach. Not much to do s only suitable for a quiet relaxing holiday.easy short transfer from airport, only down side for Brits is Thomson only fly from Gatwick.

If you want somewhere clean, organized, a few steps from the sea, this is the place. I found a sea better than Sicily (and I am an Italian and I shouldn't say that). It's an emerald/blueish see, with a golden sand. Just amazing. The hotel is a good hotel. There isn't much in the evening but a week is just... More

This is the tallest building on the island, so you can always find your way back. Mind you, getting lost on an island this size would really take some doing. The staff were very helpful and the service at the bar/restaurant very friendly. The beach is stunning - over 5 miles long and virtually deserted. Some travel companies will want... More

The Vilabaleria was a wonderful hotel. Due to the size of our family, we needed two rooms. When we arrived, we found that our rooms had been smoked in despite their no smoking policy.

The island get very little rain so the sun is usually out.... More

I booked this holiday at the very last minute as my husband and I had been exceptionally busy this year and I thought it looked a great place to relax. Didn't want anything to do except to sit in the sun, swim, read and do some crosswords. This was our third all inclusive holiday with First Choice in a year.... More

The hotels exterior resembles the apartments built by the russians in Cuba.Luckily the interior is a complete contrast,reception,bar and bedrooms are tastefully modern.Staff were efficient,friendly with a genuine desire to please. Food.As has been said the breakfast is as varied to please all nations.Lunch and dinner seem to be more of a miss mash.The salad bar had no cold meats... More
