Madeira Island Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Madeira Island, Portugal

A return visit so always you think will it live up to expectations, we needn't have worried. Warm attentive staff who speak good English. It is kept immaculate with beautiful gardens a wonderful pool and good sized comfortable room with a great sea view. The beds are huge. Location is great outside the hustle and noise of main town, good promenade in front ideal for after dinner stroll. It is a big hotel and seemed pretty full during our stay but it still maintains a calm relaxed atmosphere. The entertainment is varied and good quality. Happy hour is great for pre dinner cocktail .

What a lovely hotel, located 20 minutes walk down a steep hill to the centre of Funchal and with a regular and efficient local bus service. Beautiful gardens, lovely pool area. Fantastic food in the restaurant, and live music in the bar twice a week. The staff were always available, friendly and welcoming. As for Funchal, vibrant, full of lovely restaurants and perfect for gentle strolling and exploring. The Island is beautiful, with lots to do, particularly if you like walking.

Enjoy good view of sea in the balcony of the room. Nice holiday with comfortable living experience!

We went for a quiet relaxing holiday and was not disappointed. However there were plenty of activities if you wanted them and the facilities were excellent as was the entertainment.

The hotel is on a deep slop into centre easy walking down,bus great bus Service from the centre. Nice bar/ restaurants facing the hotel and a must for food and drinks the beer house on the marina also the Ritzs in the centre. Maderia is very clean and the people great, the old town is small lanes with good bars and restaurants and at the weekend most have great jazz singers.

The rooms are basic and in need of repair. The position is good, close to the sea front and many excellent restaurants. the breakfast is adequate but definitely not exceptional. staff are helpful. Kitchen has very few utensils and no kettle so self catering is not really an option.

First visit to Madeira. Ideal for us (late 50s). Relaxing holiday but plenty walking or tours to do if you want a more energetic holiday. Would thoroughly recommend.

This hotel is amazing....meticulously smart and clean. The resort itself is a beautiful luxurious complex and our suite was absolutely amazing.....spacious, very comfortable, perfectly kept and clean. Every room had a balcony and the roof terrace was a bonus. The views were just superb. Apparently the resort was full to capacity, but you did not notice. Hotel staff very friendly and attentive. The only downside is that you need a car to get around...too far away from Funchal. There is a courtesy bus to Funchal, but you need to book 24 hours in advance. Last bus returns to the resort at 6.30pm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay very much...it was 'home from home'.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Although a little out of town the complimentary bus service was very good for getting around. Hotel on promenade so good for walking along the coast to either Funchal or the next town along (can't remember name but the Poncha was good).

This lovely grand old lady is up to date in terms of service and facilities but retains all the charm of a bygone era. The staff are all very well trained and everyone smiles. The pool area is lovely with two large pools and all the restaurants are excellent.
