Firstly may I give some advice DO NOT BOOK THROUGH HOTELS BOOKED.COM. The information given by them and there customer service needs some serious work. Now for Pestana Hotel. It is a new hotel and there were a few teething problems but other than that we had a lovely time. The rooms are kept spotless, the staff are helpfull, the... more

We have been in this hotel for a week in early June (2 adults and a 4 years old boy). Pestana Porto Santo is a very high standart resort. The hotel is very child friendly, with lots of pools and a nice kid's club team. In fact the resort was full of families. The grounds are very beautiful and well... more

My husband and I spent one week 16th June - 23rd June in Pestana Porto Santo the setting is fabulous, so relaxing and peaceful. The hotel has only been open a few months so still some teething problems - mainly the food area. The breakfast buffet was ok, but had difficultly getting a boiled egg!!!! We were on a bed... more

This was our first family holiday with our baby and it was lovely. Similar comments about the hotel and Island as the people below (we were there at the same time). Hotel - Reception checkin on our arrival did take quite a while but we just went with the flow, the receptionist staff could have had our keys in advance... more

My wife and I spent a week in Porto Santo at the Pestana from 16th to 23rd June 2008. The weather was fantastic with only one day of rain. The sun was gloriously hot but the sea breeze took the edge off of it. This is a very new hotel with good and bad points. Unlike other reviews on here,... more

We returned from Porto Santo just over a week ago and although we are back in the UK we left a little bit of ourselves on that tiny island!! There's absolutely nothing to do there except enjoy beautiful sunshine, cooling breezes, aqua sea, silk like sand and the relaxed luxury of the hotel. The flight is only 3.5 hours and... more

Stayed at this resort in May 2008 into June 2008. The hotel is lovely, the rooms were large and airy, well decorated and with all the amenities expected and more. We were half board which I would recommend as the island is very quiet and there arent many places to go eat on a night. The pools are lovely and... more

This is the best accommodation on the tiny island of Porto Santo....by far. Forget the swimming pools and the bar and all of that. Yes, Pestana offers all of this, but you come here for the beach and ocean, not a hotel room. For me, it more than lived up to a 5 star reputation, but then again, I don't... more

The Pestana Porto Santo is a mixed bag. Open only a few months it is still getting up and going. After initial problems with our room booking (this had more to do with the travel agent we booked with who advertised 'sea views' when there aren’t any than any fault of the Pestana itself) we found that the room was... more
