The golden sands of Machico Beach invite you to relax after exploring the historic 15th-century church of Nossa Senhora da Conceição. Hike along the dramatic Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço trail or join locals at Mercado Municipal for fresh seafood and regional specialities.
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!!

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. The gardens are rightly famous and taking afternoon tea at Reid's is a treat for non residents as...

A tasteful blend of contemporary and traditional buildings, with our superior block room worth the extra money - larger and with a much better quality lounging area outside the patio doors. A nice, personal sized hotel as a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World group. Breakfast was intimate, uncrowded and orders of hot food came in seconds. The gardens are immaculate and there were ample staff everywhere throughout our stay attending both to maintaining the internal and external ambiance....

Don't go uptown to the tourist area where all the hotels are - concrete jungle!
Old town is best for eateries and bars - especially the rum bar - hard to find but a wee gem. It is
on the second section of the old street and has a balcony which overlooks the street - the guy there is fantastic looks like you are in his front room but it's an amazing place to sample rum - he has a massive choice.
Do the Nun's valley - 1/2 day excursion as lets you see the remote side- mountains and...

The hotel is situated on a main road (no noise problems though) which gives great links to the main buses in to Funchal, including a courtesy bus from the hotel, and the open top tour buses.
The hotel says 4 star but how it isn't a 5 star I will never know! The hotel is home to beautiful gardens, including an orchid garden, making the scenery even more beautiful. Butterflies are always flying around and it just feels like paradise. The hotel is clean and maintained thoroughly everyday, they...

This place was incredible! Room was amazing - so spacious and comfy. Loved the bath robes! We used all 3 of the hotel’s spas with roof top hot tubs, swimming pool and sauna. Breakfast was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

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...

We had a fantastic time here. The room was big and comfortable and the resort was beautifully maintained, with lovely gardens. A great place to relax and unwind.
Breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety, catering for a wide range of dietary requirements. The various restaurants offered decent food and a good option if not wanting to venture out in the evening.
The staff were all fantastic throughout.
I would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay there again.
