“Great to get out of Funchal”

Paul Do Mar was VERY quiet when we went in March. The hotel is set right by the sea and we have a beautiful sea view from our apartment. The hotel is in need of a refurbishment but for the price we paid it was good enough. The apartment wasn't as clean as i would have liked, but could be just the case that the place could have just done with a good refurbishment. Bathroom floor wasn't clean when we arrived and the sofa was badly stained. Only 2 English channels - CNN and a movie channel. The kitchenette facilities are basic but enough to sort simple dinners. You have 2 hobs rings, fridge, sink and a microwave. No kettle, oven or toaster. Great large balcony overlooking sea and pool. Paul Do Mar is made up of a couple of bars and 1 cafe. NO restaurants. There is a mini supermarket with the basics, bank and church. Sol E Mar cafe/bar was the friendliest and for 1 euro a beer it is a bargain. Also showed a lot of the football to keep my boyfriend happy. Tip: the hotel in set by the sea, enclosed by cliffs, which means only 2 roads to access Paul Do Mar. It rained over the first few nights there which meant that one of the roads had to close to the road being block from a landslip. It was a 40 detour on the other (more scary) road out of the village. Buy a good map when you arrive. We frequently experienced the roads being closed to them having to be clear of rocks/mud/trees that slips down the cliffs/mountains in bad weather.

“Mixed feelings”

Stayed in hotel with a 3 yr old. Place is too far from everything - a drive even to the 'local' shop. Geared up for walkers mainly. Staff helpful and friendly. Room was ok but mix up meant got a dble room with a 'put me up bed' for my daughter. Not ideal for privacy. Expected suite. Swimming pools excellent but not much else to occupy small child. Food was very average and quite expensive. Again, not much choice of local eateries.

Traveller's tip
Stay closer to capital, Funchal - Ribeira Brava has a fabu1ous play park!

“paul do mar”

ottimo hotel.gentili alla reception. abbiamo soggiornato 1 settimana a dicembre 2011. avevamo una camera vista mare, tranquillo e in ottima posizione. abbiamo girato tutta l'isola di madeira e utilizzavamo l'hotel solo per dormire e fare colazione. nn abbiamo mai cenato presso il ristorante dell'hotel. nelle vicinanze ci sono un paio di ristoranti. indispensabile avere un auto in quanto la zona è un po' decentrata. consigliato!

“Na ja...”

weder das Frühstück noch das Abendessen waren zufriedenstellend. Einige Dinge wie Poolanlage, Geläder des Balkons, Anstrich etc sind sehr Renovierungsbedürftig!!!! Die Notbeleuchtung im Treppenhaus und in der Empfangshalle funktionierten nicht. Bei einem Stromausfall, den wir dort erleben durften, was es ohne Taschenlampe nicht möglich das Hotel zu verlassen oder sich im Hotel zu bewegen!!

“Hotel Paul do Mar à Madère : calme”

L'hôtel est propre, les balcons donnent sur la mer (très belle vue), les équipements sont conformes au descriptif de l'hôtel. Pas vraiment de plage où se baigner, comme un peu partout à Madère, mais possibilité de nager à partir d'un ponton au pied de l'hôtel. Il faut prendre sa voiture pour trouver un restaurant.

Area recommendations
Possibilités de randonnée, aller à l'extrémité ouest de l'île (magnifique).

“Voyage en amoureux à Madère”

Il s'agit d'un appart'hotel, c'est-à-dire que les chambres sont équipées d'une kichenette bien agencée, par contre assez chiche en vaisselle (pas de passoire ou de bol). La voiture est indispensable car l'hôtel est au bout du village, lui-même isolé des villages alentour. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est très bien, ainsi que le snack en bord de piscine qui permet de manger à toute heure.

Area recommendations
Toute l'île de Madère est magnifique et doit être visitée !!!
