The hotel is wonderful, very nice and very clean rooms, confortable beds, impressive and marvelous views from the room's balcony. Also big room with good amenities and a welcome champaign bottle, really nice one.
The spa and indoor pool services were great, also not crowded, so we enjoyed it a lot.
The infinity pool in the rooftop was amazing with incredible views, however, as the weather in April was not that nice, we couldn't try it, but we took nice pictures up there.
The breakfast is amazing, I think one of the best we've tried. Coffee is great, different options and handmade cakes and omelets. Many thanks for the staff for showing up to sing "Happy Birthday" to my boyfriend and bringing a cake with candles the day of his birthday, really nice gesture.
Finally, the staff is wonderful, they are helpful and nice, I think this is one of the best thing from this hotel. They even gave us a handmade jam as goodbye present. Thanks to all!!

The room had an amazing view from the balkony. Sleeping with the sound of the waves was great.. Breakfast was really nice, big choice of fruit, cheeses, warm dishes and pastries. When I arrived, I got a free entry to the natural pools which are definitely worth a visit! So much nicer than the usual hotel pools.
With ocean views, Hotel Euro Moniz is only 100 metres from the pools in Porto Moniz. All Euro Moniz’s rooms have a cable TV and a bathroom with a bathtub or a shower. Some rooms feature balconies.

The staff was super friendly and helpful! The best thing was that we could use the facilities at other Aqua Natura hotels (pool, spa, gym) that were only 5-7 min walk from our unit. That option wasn't mentioned on Booking, so it was a nice surprise. We stayed at multiple hotels at Madeira and this was definitely THE best hotel we stayed at. It was all about the small things (a welcome drink, a small gift at check out, recommendations on hikes, planning and booking spa for us) arranged by the hotel staff that made us feel very welcome and comfortable.
Breakfast in terms of both service and variety was also exceptional!
Although the restaurant, located in the neighbouring unit, needs some improvements when it comes to service during lunch/dinner hours. I would consider a different restaurant for dinner.
Overall our stay here was so amazing it made me write this Booking-review, which I never do :) It really exceeded all expectations!

Loved the sea pools, with cafe for after swim drinks. and the peaceful evening walks. Easy to catch a bus further afield. Harder to get to levada walks than I expected, and I would avoid the ones that come back down steep hills to coast - rough and dangerous surfaces

This is not a sand beach vacation.
This is not a sand beach vacation. There are tidal pools to swim in if the weather cooperates. Be aware that the north side of the island is cooler and more likely to rain. We enjoyed our 2 night stay by the ocean but that was enough

Very good base to explore north-west side of the island
Nice option if you want to cool down in the pool-there are actually 2 spots with ocean water, one more natural than the other, both can have better tourism services and catering options

A beautiful little town with the most beautiful swimming in Madeira in natural pools with sea water and sea fish. Protected from the waves and great for bathing and swimming, in a beautiful wild nature surrounded by rocks. Everything is close by car, the most beautiful levadas, the Fanal forest. Really spend more days.

We were driving around Madeira Island for 8 days & Porto Moniz was 1 of the most scenic area, beautiful rocky formations with the natural pools. We only stayed overnight, but wished we could have spent more time here, experience swimming the natural pools. Beautiful instamagramable picturisque views. We highly recommend Porto Moniz.

Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
Porto Moniz is a tourist town in the far north of Madeira.
the ocean view is amazing.
The city has both natural and paid natural pools, where the only option is to swim.
if you are a fish lover, there are really many good restaurants in this city.
for us, the tastiest fish was Espada.
It is also a great place to visit the Fanal forest, the Telegrafico gondola and the Rabacal area.
for us, who are fans of bends, steep roads, beautiful nature and of course the sea, this part of the island was the most beautiful.
The hotel is located in the center of the tourist part of Porto Moniz. It is a two-minute walk from natural pools which are the most famous attraction. You can choose real natural pools (free entrance) or a bit improved pools (entrance 1,5EUR). More than 5 restaurants are near the hotel. In my opinion, all of them are very good. Porto Moniz is a quiet place when crowds of tourists from Funchal leave in the afternoon. This place is a good starting point for exploring west of Madeira.
Rooms are located so close to the water that you feel you're at sea; I can't recall another hotel I've visited with rooms so close to the water. The hotel provides easy (and free) access to the adjacent natural swimming pools. Its two restaurants are probably your best dining options in Porto Moniz. Breakfast is pretty good, albeit with limited options. Adequate parking in front of the hotel and at its sister hotel on the other side of the port.
We had room 109 with the fantastic view over the embankment. Ideal location for a few night stay in Porto Moniz. Nice breakfast. Two minute walk from the natural pools. The owner is very kind and helpful. Beds were comfy. The small supermarket nearby. Place has free parking lot from 5 p.m. till 11 a.m. just in front of the hotel (but it very quickly can be full). I guess it's one of the best stays on that part of island! I'd recommend it.
We have chosen this accommodation for the second time. The suite is extra large, has two terraces with a fantastic view of Porto Moniz. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, there is a microwave oven as well as a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is a fireplace in the living room for cold evenings. The beds are comfortable. We were pleasantly surprised by a bottle of Madeira wine and cookies prepared for us. Thank you :-)
Wonderful house, well designed and furnished with everything needed for a week-long stay. The location was perfect—close enough to Porto Moniz amenities but still very quiet and relaxing. We really appreciated the opportunity to explore a different side of the island, having previously stayed mostly in the south. The host was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again when back in Madeira.
The atmosphere is very natural and wild, the hotel being not too big. View and the room was amazing as was the check-in hotel staff. The design and layout of the room is great and the mattress is super comfortable and well insulated. Overall the location and area was absolutely gorgeous! Fantastic value for money, and we would recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to visit Porto Moniz.
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 location is excellent. 25 m distance to Porto Moniz Natural Pools and the ocean. We kept windows open in order to enjoy the ocean sounds during the night.
There is pay-based parking close to the hotel.
The staff was very friendly and made an effort to accommodate special dietary restrictions.
The gentleman running the hotel was really kind and sweet, you can tell he really cares about the place. The location in the town was perfect, with great views of the mountain and ocean. the room was super clean and seemed newly renovated. For the value, the room really exceeded my expectations.
Very large house, pictures didn't do it justice. Great facilities for cooking and washing clothes. Great value as well.
Lovely private outdoor area to relax. Not far from Porto moniz for the pools, and a nice bar down the road for the best poncha in Madeira and close to the levada walk
The room was quite spacious and comfortable, with a great view over the harbour and along the coast. The roof top pool area was nice too. Porto Moniz is a small place anyway, but the location of the hotel was great. We had an excellent evening meal and the venison was very good.
the only thing we liked was the staff, it was very cheap so we basically had no expectations.
If you want to safe some money and just enjoy the beautiful island of madeira this place is perfect. If you want a quality hotel go somewhere else and pay more
Porto Moniz is a great place with the ocean and the natural pools. The lady at the reception was very welcoming and friendly. My room at Aqua Natura Studios opened to a patio which unfortunately had no view, but very much privacy.
Perfect location, quiet neighborhood, 5 min walk to the natural swimming pools, the house was spotless and the owners really nice and helpful. Would highly recommend staying at Porto Moniz Villa to everyone
It's a spacious, clean and well equipped apartment. Location is excellent - very central to all Porto Moniz attractions, restaurants, hiking routes etc.
Great base to explore the north of Madeira.
Great location for access to the natural pools and the additional hotel facilities are awesome! Perfect for a little spa break. They also surprised me with a birthday cake during breakfast.
Charming little village near Porto Moniz, everything's close. Spectacular view from the window, cozy apartment and lovely host. We enjoyed our stay there
