Fabulous location. We loved the balcony being so near to the sea. Inside, they have purposely arranged the furniture so that you can see the view from the bed in this hotel, not something to be taken for granted. And it’s an Astonishing View.

Superb communication from the receptionist prior to arrival meant we could go straight into the room. The room itself was a bit tight, but it had both a small double bed and a single bed. The corner shower curtain situation could use improvement—there really isn’t a way of not flooding the floor. There was also a slight leak from the clean tap end of the bidet. Minor issues, but I feel that the staff must be aware of them already. More towels may have helped.

Breakfast was table service in the upper back room of the restaurant. (If you want buffet style and the ability to have a sea view, go to Villa Bella). Breakfast was simultaneously generous and... not. We had 4 huge crusty rolls between the two of us and a selection of butter and jam, which was great, as were the 2 bananas and enormous orange to share. But compared to every other breakfast, it was a rather small plate of literally just scrambled eggs, which were not hot. Perhaps other choices (we could have ordered eggs with ham, a cold plate, a fish sandwich, a boiled egg) were better. It’s not their fault that I would have served the scrambled eggs with a bit of tomato or cheese on the side. The menu said “scrambled eggs”. The coffee was rather unfortunate because it was a real Espresso machine. We were looking forward to the only proper coffee at breakfast during our trip. Everywhere else only had instant machines. Our coffees must have been made with good intentions. Some people like watered down coffee. We should have been more clear when we ordered that we wanted strong coffee. Despite the criticisms, the overall quality of the breakfast was in keeping for this type of hotel. So this wasn’t the best breakfast in the world, but it had one MASSIVE positive attribute: The honest staff member looked after my camera when I accidentally left it behind. I am so grateful.

Should guests decide to have dinner here, this is truly fabulous and romantic scenery, dining right on the seafront to the sound of the waves. There were other 4 Vegetarian options. The Stroganoff was an interesting mustard sauce. I did eat it but can’t recommend it to others. My husband had a mixed platter of 5 different fish which included Bream and Parrotfish, both of which I had seen scuba diving. Definitely fresh and locally caught!

One of the nearest balconies to the actual seafront in the whole of Madeira

The reception was not occupied, when we arrived at 11.00. We have to wait until 13.00, when the lady came and made the check in for the room 308. This is a terrible room, vue to old mineral bottles, very small and dark room, with a very old bed and old brown blanket, which we have used 50 years ago. When I claimed this room, the lady told me, that this is standard. Most of the others room did have balkony and sea vue. The breakfast has been served at 8.00.

unacceptable room

This is a review for the restaurant only.
I went at 9am, the doors were wide open and menus on tables. I asked for an egg sandwich and a tea. They said they were too busy serving hotel guests to make it . They said come back in one hour. I didn’t. There’s a cafe just up the road which is pleased to serve you.

No service in restaurant.

The staff was very friendly, we could even check-in early. We had a room with a terrace overlooking the seafront, really nice! Location was great, mini-market and bus stop very nearby. Breakfast ist with a menu and served at your table - more than enough to chose from and quite nice. The room was clean, it was small but had everything you needed. And the bathroom even had a bidet. 

The bed was uncomfortable, very hard. WIFI was not working well in the room, even after the receptionist restarted the router. And we got attacked by the shower curtain ;-) 

A good choice to stay in Porto da Cruz

We had a superior sea view room (room 103) – these are on the top floor. And the view is definitely superior – we enjoyed watching the waves come crashing in; some might find it noisy! There was a storm when we were there and the balcony door could not quite cope with it – we had some water coming in on the floor. But a towel soon sorted that out.

Costa Linda is nice for a 2-star hotel. The bathroom is spacious. Nice big balcony with a fantastic view. It was cold in the room when we arrived so we used the electric radiator. It took a bit of time for it to heat up the room but when it did it was fine. It also took quite a long time for the hot water in the shower to arrive but you just had to run it for some time – and then it was good. There was an electric kettle and cups so you can make your own coffee.

The restaurant was cold too, so we had to wear a couple of extra layers of clothing. But the restaurant was nice otherwise and the staff friendly.

There is not much to do in Porto da Cruz except enjoy the views and experience the rough northern coast. But we enjoyed our two first nights of our hiking trip here.

Good for a 2-star hotel, great views

So obviously to many this is only a review of the cafe food which was really very good! The service was a little patchy (they were really rushed off their feet!) but no to difficult really if you smile at the staff as you catch their eyes!

Only stayed for food but glad I did!

Simple, clean, comfortable hotel
Different types of room depending on your wishes 
Great sea view for rooms facing ocean
Empathic and professional staff
Reasonable prices
Breakfast is good
Good location to explore this part if the island
A good choice for turism

Very good simple hotel

This is a small, family run hotel on the front with a restaurant by the sea serving simple but good food. Everyone works so hard - and they were very busy (so food was slow coming - might be better to order in advance?). It is spotlessly clean.

Explored the area from here and our sons surfed.

We had a beautiful view from our balcony.

If I could change two things I would put mattress toppers on the hard beds and serve breakfast in the front room or by the sea.

We slept to the sound of the waves....

A great little hotel in a very good location

Great location! Our room had a balcony facing the sea. Beautiful scenery including the sea water swimming pool. All night long, we could hear the waves. Good bars and restaurants near the hotel. All direct on the beach. Only you do not have sand, here. A big breakfast.

Beautiful sea view

A basic no frills hotel accommodation with balcony’s overlooking the bay. The in house restaurant was excellent with plenty of inside and by the sea seating. Plenty to see and do in the small town including Rum Tour.
