10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)

really enjoyed the stay, the dorm rooms are comfortable with privacy curtains, small fan and light in the bed, the bathroom was clean and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There is a shared kitchen with a good range of utensils. The property is secluded to one end of the island so either you need to catch the bus, take a taxi or go on a long walk to get to anything but the proximity to the beach is amazing and being on the other end of the island it is a perfect getaway, there is 1 restaurant in the area (next to the beach) they serve great food so you're never really missing out if you're looking for a relaxing stay. It would be good to have breakfast included in the price point of this accommodation as they charge 10 euro extra but it isn't a deal breaker. I highly recommend this property if you're visiting Porto Santo
