It was a romantic escape for us, kind like a second honey moon and we couldn't have chosen better. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. Big room with an amazing view we had a balcony with see and mountain view. The staff were very attentive, always with a smile and very helpful. Both swimming pools are nice, the one in the top has very nice view.

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

Hiking the Levadas

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.

Laurisilva Forest

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this bio diverse laurel forest contains a number of native plant and animal life.

Natural pools of Porto Moniz

Take a refreshing dip in the crystalline waters of these natural salt-water swimming pools, formed by volcanic rock.

With speeds reaching 48 km per hour, these wicker sleds steered by two men provide an exhilarating ride from Monte to Funchal.

Scuba diving off the Madeira coast

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.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a 5-star experience. Special thank you for the manager, Marta. She prepared for us small gifts. It was also very nice that the hotel agreed to include the lait checkout service for us for free.

Funchal is a small city with Old Town character and marina to enjoy. The best benefits of Madeira are the hiking trails all over the country. There are a lot of organisations based in Funchal where visitors can sign up to hikes and be picked up and returned to their property at the end of them. This is great for those who are not driving. Funchal also has other sights worth visiting such as Monte Palace and the Botanical gardens, both of which may be accessed by cable car or bus. I would highly recommend both of these attractions. I also visited the Madeira Story centre museum which although old fashioned, provides a chronological history of Madeira for those who are interested. The Old Town provides a wide range of good restaurants for tourists to choose from.

Machico is a very pleasant place to stay in Madeira. It’s relatively quiet compared to Funchal, but it is nice and peaceful.

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.

Ponta do Sol is a gem for exploring Madeira's levadas, offering both relaxation and adventure. The scenic Levada do Moinho/Nova is located in Ponta do Sol itself, and varied trails nearby cater to all fitness levels, from challenging Rabaçal hikes to leisurely Levada dos Cedros strolls. Ponta do Sol's tranquil atmosphere, lovely beach, restaurants, and relaxed pace allow for post-hike relaxation. The sunny climate enhances levada walks, and the town provides ample hotels, amenities, and tour operators. For a Madeira levada trip, Ponta do Sol's location, trails, atmosphere, and climate make it an ideal base.
