Really cool location. The host was very accommodating. For the price you cannot beat staying here.

This place was amazing! The staff at check-in was very friendly and gave us each a welcome drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic options). When we went to our room, we also found a bottle of sparkling wine on ice, which was nice! The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. There was a balcony with a table and chairs to enjoy morning coffee, an espresso maker in room, bath robes, and a mini kitchen if you want to cook, though there are lots of places to eat in the area with good food for relatively cheap. The roof had a nice lounging area with comfortable chairs and a hot tub. The property gives you free tickets to the local pools, which are gorgeous and definitely worth a stop at (though be prepared -- it's ocean water so they are often chilly!). Their breakfast is amazing and is located on the rooftop of their sister property. They have a whole range of pastries, fruits, cheeses, coffee/tea and sparkling wine to grab. You can also select a main dish (eggs benedict, omelet, pancakes, etc.). They also gave us a homemade apple jam upon check-out which was delicious with some of the cheese we had purchased. Definitely good value for the money. Wish we had stayed longer! Highly recommend!

The views were amazing. The hosts were excellent at responding to messages. The home was very clean and modern. We loved the veranda and enjoyed the scenery. We look forward to returning.

What a gorgeous place to stay! Clean and simple and modern. Free laundry (no dryer so I had to hang my clothes outside to dry, which I think is normal in Europe). Comfy bed. Good kitchen facilities. Loved the sectional couch to sit on and read. The natural pools (free ones down the road) were sooooooo incredible and refreshing!

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 was immaculate; we were greeted with a drink upon check-in which immediately made us feel at home. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room had a beautiful view of the ocean which made for beautiful sun rises. The food at the restaurant was good and reasonably priced. The walk-ability of the area is amazing; there are nice restaurants all around and beautiful scenery every where you turn. The indoor pool was an absolute plus.
The reception was very helpful and friendly! Thank you!
The hotel room with side seaview and balcony was very clean and has a nice view of the sea and mountains.
P.S. Porto Moniz is nice town, however it´s far away from many main sightseeing places. We stayed here for 4 nights and explored this area. The other 10 nights in our vacation we stayed in Funchal.
Our stay in Aqua Natura Madeira was simply the best. The breakfast and the food at the Rooftop restaurant was delicious. We also enjoyed the spectatular seaview from our room and the free jacuzzi. The best hotel we have ever stayed in.
Everything was great! The location, stuff, cleanliness, free tickets for use of the natural pools as well as possibility to use the facilities of the Aqua Natura Bay Hotel.
