The first thing you need to know is if you have a car or rented a car the hotel does not provide park, or rather the park that has only fit 8 cars that require a lot of maneuvering and increases the risk of dents and scratches. And you do not have any parking spots near the hotel. Nevertheless the... More

Well located and improved connections with the center of Funchal hotel. Intimate, muted place - perfect for a short break for couples, discreet service and privacy. Here is everything you need, both for sweet idleness, and to the active relaxation. The best are the outdoor swimming pools and tennis courts. The spa center at a very high level. . I... More

I have stayed in the Hotel Santa Caterina twice in two years. Each time I used it primarily to sleep in, which is a good thing because you would'nt want to stay there any longer than was absolutely necessary. The tiny rooms I booked which were, to be fair, cheap as chips, both had leaks in the vicinity of the... More

Stayed at this hotel for a week. On our arrival the reception staff was very helpful despite it being after midnight. We got a sea view room as booked through lowcostholidays.com from where the initial holiday experience started with quick efficient emails with no hassle experienced throughout the booking and flying experience. Our card did not work on the door... More

Hotel is located in a very good area, just across from the beach and at the quite end of the strip and is excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the rooms were basic and very clean. I did not eat in the hotel because Praia da Rocha is full of excellent resturants,my favourite being... More

Great location, accross the road from the beach and few minutes walk from the shops, bars and restaurants. Hotel was extremely clean, breakfast was good and the facilities were adequate. Overall very good value for money but the hotel lacked any warmth or personal touches at all. The downside...I found the beds were very uncomfortable. More

Liked - 1) Location - right on the main road ,however not too noisy at night ! if you close the window and put aircondition on you cant hear anything... More

This was such a great hotel and had such great staff that I hate to criticise them. But there is no denying the 2 flaws that kept it from rave review status. My daughter and I had been to Praia da Rocha previously so we knew what we wanted and the Santa Catalina seemed to tick all the boxes: location... More

This is an excellent 3 star hotel, our room was bright, very clean and airy. The only meal we had was breakfast which was ample and set us up for the day. The staff are excellent with nothing too much bother for them. We had a front sea view room with a balcony which was an absolute suntrap and lovely... More
