What guests think
At White Waters Hotel, travellers consistently praise the handy Machico location near the beach and airport, the friendly, accommodating staff who help with late arrivals and logistics, and the generally enjoyable included breakfast that many find tasty and good value.
Rooms range from small to very spacious; several have balconies and sea views, and beds are often comfortable, but decor can feel dated, air conditioning is absent, and occasional nighttime noise or lukewarm showers are mentioned. Cleanliness is frequently noted as good, though multiple reviews cite stained or worn carpets, humidity or bathroom odors, and tired linens. Parking is a recurring pain point, with no private parking and limited paid spaces nearby; some find free spots a short walk away. Overall, expect a simple, well-located base for exploring Machico and the island’s east.

Super convenient for airport, beach, food and bis station for local activities and rest of island. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and great balcony with sea view. Good buffet breakfast with a few options including cold, cooked, and sweet. Great location, with free parking a short walk (paid parking closer by, but rarely spaces available). New bathroom and amazing shower. We really enjoyed our stay, highly recommended.

Within 5 minutes walk are many good restaurants, buses to other towns, a bakery, a fruit-shop and a small supermarket. Excellent hotel breakfast. All rooms have sea-view balconies. Paid parking is very difficult nearby, except overnight and at weekend. Nearest free parking 10 minutes walk away.

Super Lage des Hotels, sehr freundliches Personal. Hoteleinrichtung aber bescheiden bis abgenützt. Insbesondere die Teppiche in den Zimmern sind in einem schrecklichen Zustand (warum Teppich in einem Hotel in der Nähe vom Meer?) Badezimmer zum Teil müffelig (wir hatten zwei verschiedene Zimmer). Morgenessen qualitativ knapp genügend. Infrastruktur Restaurant: Die Stühle sind "durchgesessen".... Alles in allem: top Lage, kurzer Weg zum Flughafen, Sandstrand (!) in der Nähe, gut gegessen in nächster Nähe

Het inchecken ging goed, de dame was zeer vriendelijk. De kamer is erg basic wat op zich niet erg was. Wel vloerbedekking op de grond wat echt niet hygiënisch is. Eenmaal in bed voelden we het ijzer van de spiralen. Zo hard en zo pijnlijk! Dit moet echt vervangen worden. We hebben amper geslapen. De douche is goed, wel echt oude handdoeken met zichtbare slijtage. Het wasmiddel wat gebruikt wordt voor het beddengoed vinden wij ook niet lekker maar dat is persoonlijk. Ik had bij het ontbijt erg veel zin in koffie maar na 1 slok hoefde het niet meer. Het is best een hele leuke plek en heel erg vriendelijk personeel maar ze zouden de matrassen moeten vervangen en een andere koffie machine aanschaffen.

The hotel is nicely situated, clean, in excellent condition and the room was extremely comfortable. I enjoyed a very peaceful stay with superb views out over the street at the front. Completely impressed with my experience and really look forward to staying there again in the future.

Par contre aucune clim, ni ventilo ce qui oblige à laisser les fenêtres ouvertes et par 24/25 ° les nuits la chaleur était difficilement supportable ce qui a gâché le reste.

Having only stayed here for a brief period, arriving after midnight and departing in the morning, I must say the entire experience was truly delightful. The hotel, though rated as a three-star establishment, boasted a reception staff that provided a five-star level of service. The property itself was well-maintained, and the room was exceptionally spacious with lovely views. Furthermore, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was quite tasty.

Breakfast was very good, hotel is very close to all facilities in Machico. Not far from bus station, and a great Levada walk at the back of Machico. Not far from a golden sandy beach. Buses go to most places on the east of the island and Funchal via the airport. Would re and would return. Cheers 😁😁

Very good stay at this small hotel. I advised of our very late flight and arrangements were made for our arrival after front desk closed. Excellent communication from hotel staff to set this up and all went very smoothly. Room was clean and quiet although a bit dated. I was told that renovations are being undertaken. Excellent breakfast included. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Location is very convenient to the airport in a lovely town setting.

Within 5 minutes walk are many good restaurants, buses to other towns, a bakery, a fruit-shop and a small supermarket. Excellent hotel breakfast. All rooms have sea-view balconies. Paid parking is very difficult nearby, except overnight and at weekend. Nearest free parking 10 minutes walk away.

Het inchecken ging goed, de dame was zeer vriendelijk. De kamer is erg basic wat op zich niet erg was. Wel vloerbedekking op de grond wat echt niet hygiënisch is. Eenmaal in bed voelden we het ijzer van de spiralen. Zo hard en zo pijnlijk! Dit moet echt vervangen worden. We hebben amper geslapen. De douche is goed, wel echt oude handdoeken met zichtbare slijtage. Het wasmiddel wat gebruikt wordt voor het beddengoed vinden wij ook niet lekker maar dat is persoonlijk. Ik had bij het ontbijt erg veel zin in koffie maar na 1 slok hoefde het niet meer. Het is best een hele leuke plek en heel erg vriendelijk personeel maar ze zouden de matrassen moeten vervangen en een andere koffie machine aanschaffen.

Having only stayed here for a brief period, arriving after midnight and departing in the morning, I must say the entire experience was truly delightful. The hotel, though rated as a three-star establishment, boasted a reception staff that provided a five-star level of service. The property itself was well-maintained, and the room was exceptionally spacious with lovely views. Furthermore, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was quite tasty.

Super Lage des Hotels, sehr freundliches Personal. Hoteleinrichtung aber bescheiden bis abgenützt. Insbesondere die Teppiche in den Zimmern sind in einem schrecklichen Zustand (warum Teppich in einem Hotel in der Nähe vom Meer?) Badezimmer zum Teil müffelig (wir hatten zwei verschiedene Zimmer). Morgenessen qualitativ knapp genügend. Infrastruktur Restaurant: Die Stühle sind "durchgesessen".... Alles in allem: top Lage, kurzer Weg zum Flughafen, Sandstrand (!) in der Nähe, gut gegessen in nächster Nähe

Very clean, good location. Staff didn't know how to make the cocktails on their menu and the room was very small, but we enjoyed our one night stay!

The hotel was not well maintained. The staff was rude. The towels wild and torn. Bedding was not clean and there was no air conditioning or fans. I will not return.
