My husband and I spent a week here from the 18th Sep. We originally booked into the Porto Santo hotel but were told on arrival we had been upgraded to a pool villa within the Columbus hotel next door. Initially we were really pleased to have an upgraded room within a villa block with just 3 other bedrooms each having shared access to lounge, kitchen and private pool. Although as there was shared facilities avaliable we did later feel that our room was perhaps a bit smaller than others in the main hotels due to no other lounge / seating area other than the balcony in the room. Cannot fault the hotel rooms or grounds for cleanliness, room cleaned daily. All ammenities are within walking distance at the two hotels. Choice of pool bar, evening bar and buffet resturant at both hotels so you can decide which suits you best or try both options to get a bit of variety. There are queues at the pool and evening bars for drinks as people have previously said. This can get a bit frustrating but you get used to it. We never had a problem queuing for the buffet resturants. Weather was really good, hotter than I expected during the day, it can start out cloudy but cleared by lunch time to have a hot afternoon. We did have rain a couple of mornings but again cleared for the afternoon. The staff are all friendly and do their best to accomodate your needs even though they do work long shifts and perhaps under staffed. The entertainment team are surprisingly good and do a range of shows on the evening plus live music in the bars before their shows. Overall we really enjoyed the holiday, good food and drinks, good weather, comfortable room and a relaxing break. Would recommend this resort to couples and younger families.
