"Great Ocean View from balcony. Overall cleanliness of hotel was good. Staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of food provided, just perhaps not enough choice for picky eaters (alot of seafood and vegetables)...perhaps could have more plain meat options for picky eaters. Other than that good choice of hotel."

"This is a beautiful hotel based on a former gentleman's farm. It is close enough to the city to make access easy but just far enough away from the center to feel slightly secluded. For those who enjoy travels with something of an historic appeal, Quinta da Bela Vista hits the spot."

Facilities were great with little touches like sweets on the pillow. Room had clear damage/marks on the walls not repaired and the service was mostly average with one breakfast at the buffet were we didn’t get seen to at all and had find servers ourselves. Hotel facilities and options were great.

The Quinta could do with a lick of paint and new carpets but if you are able to see beyond that this place has a great deal going for it. We didn't have
a car for our week there and frankly didn't did one. The Quinta has a free minibus for trips into Funchal which we used twice and saved us a fortune on taxis. Being part of Charming Hotels we were able to be transported(free) and feed at some of the other hotels in the group and I would recommend this highly to anyone considering going. The...

Had two weeks stay. Loved Madeira ....hotel was perfect. Did my research regarding the reviews before booking, and went for the B&B only. Some guest that had paid for HB were not happy with the dinners not much choice and not too good! Not many guest for dinner around 23 people! So might be the reason. Kettle and cups provided in your room Take your own tea and coffee as they only give you, enough for the 1st day.

This is a fabulous little hotel. A real gem. Great location, lovely room with balcony & stunning view (we stayed in the Ocean View Suite), delightful & friendly staff (Telma, Nicole & Raquel deserve a special mention), delicious breakfast (& dinner if required) and all spotlessly clean and well maintained. Access to the hotel is typical Madeiran - via a steep & narrow road - & parking can be a bit tricky, but all this adds to the experience. I cannot rate this hotel more highly, and it is...

The staff are courteous and friendly and helpful. If they were unable to help directly they could always advise where you might get the help you needed.
We enjoyed our stay but did find a big disadvantage that as it was 3-4 miles inland from the express way on very difficult roads you didn't want to go into the town after dark. This meant that you ate in the hotel every night. The restaurant menu was very good although it was the same every night so you eventually ran out of choice. After...

There have been several extensions to this classic hotel built on the cliffside overlooking Funchal harbour.All tastefully done and very classy. The place to stay chosen by celebrities and royaltyas evidenced from the photos and memorabilia in one of the lounge areas. This hotel has a different restaurant for each meal as well as its own Italian restaurant with spectacular views in the grounds.

We had a very pleasant stay in the Melia last week. The staff were friendly and very helpful Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and there was always a chef on hand to make something if it was not already on offer.
The hotel is nicely situated with an indoor and an outdoor pool. These are very well looked after and towels, sunbeds and umbrellas are available. There are plenty of restaurants of a good quality within walking distance of the hotel. Reid's Hotel is also...

This was our first trip to Madeira, and we found the hotel lived up to our expectations in all ways. We were unable to have a sea view, but looking out from our 18th floor room across part of the town, which was beautifully lit, and the mountains, was so lovely that we didn't close our curtains, just so we could look out if we awoke in the night. A joyful experience that we hope to repeat at some time

Recommended for sport lovers that like to spend their time engaging in sports, enjoy an old style small hotel with excellent service. Average guest age fairly high - comfortable hotel around 25 min from Funchal.

Its difficult to find superlatives that match the enjoyment we had at the Albatroz. Its a stunning location and everything was right from the check-in to the check-out. The staff at the Hotel have a value set and desire to provide service that is matched only by 5 star establishments, and in my estimation this certainly is a 5 star Hotel. We plan to return, and frankly cant wait to do so. Go and enjoy!!

We stayed here for 2 weeks in June 2016 and was one of our best hotel holidays. Our room was comfortable, overlooking the pool and sea views, clean, shady balcony and very effective curtains, such that we overslept on many days! Most of the other guests appeared to be mainly a mix of older British, French and Germans which produced a civilised atmosphere and was quiet at night. Of course this might be different at other times of year. We especially enjoyed the food and range of high quality...

Me and my partner had an amazing stay here! The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The hotel room was beautiful, as was the rest of the hotel. The food was delicious and we were spoilt for choice with the buffet breakfast. I also went to a yoga class one morning and really enjoyed it. Couldn't recommend staying here enough!

I stayed at Ocean Gardens Hotel for two weeks in March 2015. The staff were friendly and helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area. The hotel was clean and comfortable (although the mattress on the bed was a bit too hard for my liking). Rooms were serviced daily.
Downside - this hotel is on the outskirts of Funchal, which could be an inconvenience if you wished to be in the middle of everything, but does run a shuttle bus to the town centre - which is free.

We found some guests felt isolated, but a bit of effort with a taxi or the local busses take you to some fantastic levada walks nearby. We had a hire car and explored the mountains in the morning and came back for swimming and sun in the afternoon. Dining was five star and the staff brighten the place up with their courtesy and helpfulness.
