"Excellent short stay in an upscale hotel. Wonderful friendly staff. Very tasty breakfast with good selections. Comfortable and updated room. The hotel smelled new renovations which were obvious in the corridors and bathrooms. Would highly recommend."

"Right from check in to check out, everything was fantastic! The staff, especially, Nadia were friendly and very helpful. We had made a decision to arrive 3 days early to Madeira and when we arrived, our driver (booked by the hotel) was waiting at the airport, check in was seamless and we were able to upgrade our first 2 nights in order to stay in our room for the full 5 nights. Location was perfect, lots of dining/entertainment options within steps. And downtown Funchal is about a 40 min walk but well worth it. We used Uber as well a few times. Nadia went above and beyond - we were on our way out to dinner on Saturday evening and asked about renting a car the next day and when we got back, everything was arranged for us for the next morning. The breakfast buffet was great, usually busiest between 915-945 but they were still adding fresh and hot items each day just before 10am. Many options! The rooftop bar was fabulous for a sunset cocktail - bartender was awesome! The pool area is lovely but it was too windy/chilly for us to use it. We also didn't take advantage of the spa. Top notch service and comfortable beds!"

"Room was very generous size and 'double' bed was 6ft and very comfy! Double sink and spotless bathroom. We were lucky to have a balcony with view over the sea. Breakfast buffet offered fantastic choice and one night we opted for Madeiran evening buffet and were visited by a traditional Madeiran singing and dancing group! Within walking distance of the town and hotel also provided us with information on tours with direct or nearby pick up. "

"Loved it got a free upgrade. My adult daughter and I enjoyed the pool, breakfast, gym and other facilities. Did the Madeira tasting evening which was yummy, with plenty of food, and wine, well worth it. Car park was a little tricky required reversing in, if arriving back later in the evening, but that added to the adventure of the holiday. Thank you "

"The room was a decent size and very clean. The check in and check out process was easy. The front desk was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing! We didn’t use the pool but it looked very nice. I would stay here again!"

"Perfect "

"The hotel exceeded expectations. The rooms were large, service was excellent and we really enjoyed the views from the rooftop bar. Dinner at the Ovu restaurant was the best we’ve had since we’ve been to Portugal. Highly recommend! "

" Melia Mare should really be the first choice holiday accomodation! We felt very friendly atmosphere there. Reception team helped us with a small favour with a smile, room was tidy, balcony view great. Great place!!"

"All staff were very helpful and welcoming. Hotel grounds were very well maintained as well as our room."
