Hotel Praia Dourada Reviews

Quality price, very good

Comfortable structure close to the city center suitable for an informal holiday.

The Hotel is very close to the beach, our room was very nice, with a balcony and everything. Everything appeared to be clean and tidy. We liked it very much, we recommend it and we will be back.

The hotel is not far from the beach and the rooms are equipped with air conditioning. The hotel is a bit dated but it's absolutely fine for a few days!

Close to the beach and the center (walking distance). Room size good but overall a bit old. The breakfast was ok but there are delicious...

Arrived on the 29 December 2023. Extremely friendly and efficient staff, they couldn't do enough for us. Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was a self service continental type. Great choice of food etc. I will definitely stay here again. Everything was very reasonable priced. Car hire at 42 euro a day, we only needed to have a car for one day as the island is 11km by 6km approx. Short walk from hotel to beach and town square where all the activities take place wonderful mountain restaurants. You can arrange a lift free of charge to these restaurants from the hotel.

The bed was ok. All equipment did work as it should. Room service staff was very good. Food was great. Location just perfect. All spots you can get in walking distance. The reception staff was very helpful. We were able to stay longer because off our flight was only in the evening. We highly recommend this hotel. We will stay at this hotel again next time we'll come to Porto Santo. Antanas and Rita from Ireland...

We booked along with the Porto santo line ferry from Funchal. As soon as we got there at 11:40, our room was ready which was a huge relief as we had a 3 year old and a 9 month old baby with us. The room was big enough for us and the beds were comfy. They had set up a travel cot with a sheet and blankets for baby and the cot was in really good condition! There was a mini fridge in the room which was very helpful with us having baby bottles. The air conditioning worked really well, very pleased as it was very hot and we have two sweaty children lol! The shower unit was a little small but for a nights stay we didn’t really mind. The staff were extremely friendly, every staff member was smiling and was happy to answer any of our questions. There was always cleaning staff dotted around which was good as I saw them cleaning around the hotel all the time. We didn’t use the pool but it was an alright size and the water looked clear. We needed to use a microwave and hot water for baby bottle and they kindly let us go down to the restaurant area whenever we wanted to go and fill up our hot flask and microwave out bottles. We personally loved the breaskfast! It was a continental breakfast so pastries, bread, cereal etc. The only small downside is there is no lift, we luckily stayed on the first floor so it wasn’t so bad but we did leave the pram downstairs which they were happy for us to do. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

This hotel is truly a little gem. Staff are all so courteous, helpful and friendly. Continental breakfast was excellent and the bedrooms were spotless. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were very soft.The Colombo bar/restaurant serves great food and cocktails. Having entertainment at the Colombo was added value. Will certainly recommend to friends and family. Brilliant central location to beach, shops and restaurants. Price was very reasonable. Hope to return one day.

Staff is very kind and nice and rooms are comfortable and clean but the acoustic insulation is nonexistent. You can hear other guests talking loudly on the corridor during the night and partying all night long in adjacent rooms. I contacted reception about it and they confirmed the noise and partying and even knocked on some doors to ask people to not be so loud but I feel it was not enough as the party continued once the reception gentleman was gone. They said the hotel was maximum capacity and they couldn't provide another room that night only on the following night. If you want to rest and enjoy the silence this is a place to avoid.

Few minutes from airport in Vila Baleira. Clean city hotel, simple decor rooms, small pool, and good breakfast included. Hotel has no lift, so if you dont like stairs, ask for a ground floor room Bar Colombo by the pool serves drinks, icecream and light meals. Wifi worked perfect in and out of my room. Would have liked an english newschannel on the tv. All staff friendly and hospittable. For a city stay in Vila Baleira and for the reasonable price payed, I would stay again

I stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting Porto Santo. Peaceful, quiet and a very relaxed atmosphere - and there was a tasty continental breakfast. Thehotel was very clean and bright - there is air conditioning should you need it. It is mainly used by Portuguese guests which is super ideal for me wanting to immerse myself in all things local.The hotel is literally 5 mins walk from the centre of Vila Baleira and the beach. There are plenty lovely local restaurants, cafés and bars - perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Would highly recommend.

So far so good.

Property was a bit dated … needs a bit of a make over, brought up to 21st century. Friend and I stayed in a noisy room facing the front of the hotel - constant noise from people walking past, motor bikes/cars (even with window shut). Despite location being ideal for the beach and staff friendly not much to say.
