Hotel Costa Linda

Hotel Costa Linda is a two-star property directly on the shoreline in Porto da Cruz, a quieter coastal settlement on Madeira's north coast. Its beachfront position means guests can step from the property onto the dark volcanic sand and shingle beach that characterizes this part of the island. With over 1,300 reviews yielding a solid 8.2 rating, it attracts travelers looking for straightforward, value-focused accommodation with the sea as the main attraction.

The hotel operates a restaurant and bar, providing convenient dining options without needing to venture far. The breakfast receives particular praise for its quality and variety. For guests who prefer to stay in, room service is also available. These facilities, combined with the accessible design for disabled guests, make it a practical choice for families or those seeking a simple seaside stay away from the busier tourist hubs like Funchal.

Guests can settle in from mid-afternoon, leaving time for an initial walk along the waterfront before dinner. The late morning checkout allows for a final swim or a relaxed breakfast. The on-site restaurant is particularly useful here, as dining options in the immediate vicinity of Porto da Cruz are more limited than in larger towns. Having reliable Wi-Fi throughout the property means visitors can easily research day trips to the nearby levada walking trails or share photos of the striking coastal views.
