The hotel and its amenities were wonderful. Breakfast especially, was a plentiful delight that I was not expecting. Shout out to the guy in the kitchen who made delicious omelettes on request. Everything was clean, well decorated and elegant.

We had a car (which we recommend so you have the freedom to explore the whole island) and there is free parking available below the hotel on the street with a lift up to the hotel. We will definitely book in again if we come back to Madeira.

The time we’ve spent at THE NAVIGATOR COLOMBUS PORTO SANTO this last AUGUST/2025 was simply:  -- PHENOMENAL! -- - If you want a PEACEFUL, SIMPLISTIC yet COMPLETE, PARADISE-like experience, this is the hotel of choice in Porto Santo Island.  Exceeding customer expectations, warm communication, effective problem resolution, consistency,, all in a package of timeless memories of EXCELLENCE, PEACE and COMFORT, deserves our RECOGNITION.  Note: This Evaluation is (even) after experiencing a "soft-opening" context. 1) The EXAMPLE comes from the TOP!  GENERAL MANAGER MARCO LISBOA is a DEDICATED PROFESSIONAL, always an EXPERT in daily EXCELLENCE. 2) Room Division Manager PEDRO MARTINS has a MAGIC way of finding the best room solutions! And room cleanliness is second to none. 3) FRONT DESK follows through: Miss ANA and all her colleagues give the very BEST every day! 4) FOOD EXCELLENCE - ALWAYS!  No hotel is worthwhile without excellent food.  Professionally trained staff prepare and serve ALL-INCLUSIVE SERVICE throughout the DAY.  Never a boring meal, with thematic days and lots of CHOICE. 5) Portugal's Golden BEACH is 1 minute walk away! Inner and outdoor POOLS are well cared for.  Even a toddler's pool helps parents and even the younguest of customers enjoy the best playful of times. Keep FIT at the GYM. 6) Entertainment (live music and other performances) is a simple JOY,, that is never a nuisance for customers. 7) Last but not least: We had the best experience, even surpassing our expectations! A BIG "THANK YOU" TO ALL!!! Hope to meet you SOON. --- O tempo que passámos no THE NAVIGATOR COLOMBUS PORTO SANTO em AGOSTO/2025 foi simplesmente: -- FENOMENAL! -- - Se procura uma experiência TRANQUILA, SIMPLES mas COMPLETA, PARADISÍACA, este é o hotel para escolher na Ilha do Porto Santo.

Madeira Archipelago Highlights

This network of irrigation channels serves as a walking path for charming-to-challenging hikes through forested countryside studded with waterfalls and lagoons.

Curral das Freiras

Tucked in a hidden valley, this charming village promises spectacular views of the surrounding mountainside and treats made with local chestnuts.

Pico Ruivo peak

Climb to the top of Madeira’s highest peak for stunning scenery and panoramic vistas over the entire island.

Cape Girão lookout point

Cape Girão is home to Europe’s highest cliff skywalk, which includes a thrilling lookout point with a glass-floored platform.

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Archipelago

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

First time in Madeira, plenty of things to do for active holidays between hiking and waterfall, gardens, cable cart ride, tobbogan slide down the streets, Colombus ship reconstructed excursion around the cost, and natural basins at the shore. It will keep you busy and entertained for the entire stay, but keep your credit card ready for the tickets. Great food and drinks, and constant Spring weather - even though we were in November. Mind the top of the island though where you can find temperatures dropping from 25C at the cost to 13 C on top. Renting a car easy and pleasant, roads generally quite good, although some very steep, and plenty tunnels.

Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

The volcanic pools were closed due to high waves, We learnt at the reception that the best time to enjoy using them is May-October. Aquarium is fine but rather small. We've tried Rooftop Restaurant - great food but not the cheapest in the world. The Beerhouse is a great place in good weather. With rain you are forced to stay inside. Porto Moniz is small with the volcanic pools its main attraction.

Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.
