This restored Madeiran mansion is located 900 metres from Funchal's Old Town and has scenic views of the sea, the city and the mountains from its own botanical gardens and terraces.

Everything! Hotel was in a comfortable location, very quiet surroundings and still within 15 by walk from the old town. Super helpful Man at the reception desk (sorry I don't remember the name). Upon arrival - as this was our first night at Madeira - he made us a complete briefing of what to see and how to make it in the most relaxed way (weather portal, trials information). Car parking is a blessing (+ driving into it, felt a bit like entering Batman's hideout - a bit cramped hideout, but still cool <3)

Set in tropical gardens overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Suite Hotel Eden Mar - Porto Bay features a lagoon-style outdoor pool.

Very nice hotel, easy to reach from Funchal (bus or walk). Comfortable bed, nice room (some parts, like the corridor would welcome some renovation), clean bathroom, kind personnel. Missed a coffee machine from the room but is is not a big issue. Superb breakfast. During the evening period we “enjoyed” significant smell of fried fish from a nearby restaurant kitchen (couldn’t keep the terrace door open between 6-10PM), but we were very near to the roof vent of the place and we managed not to stay in the room in this period.

Overlooking the Bay of Funchal, this well designed hotel provides luxury accommodation within Santa Caterina Park.

The location is great, there’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, you can get there by bus from the airport (which we failed to do bc the bus only takes cash which we didn’t have at that point) so, had to take a taxi from the airport which is exactly twice expensive than Bolt, for instance. Secondly, there’s a hop on hop off bus stop right next to the hotel and the walk to the city center is smooth and short (around 2 bus stops overall) but mind it’s a hilly area, so you need to go uphill back from the city center. There’s a beautiful city park right next to the hotel and a nice looking harbour with ships come and go almost every day, so the views from our balcony were amazing and always changing (due to different ships anchored in the harbour) The scenic view at night to the casino and the mountain is something else! Overall, the hotel is beautiful in a great area, surrounded by breathtaking nature, with birds singing in the morning

The 5-star Vidamar Resorts Madeira is situated on Madeira's southern coast, just few minutes' walk from central Funchal. It features 3 salt-water infinity pools for adults and one for children.

The location is perfect, the pool area excellent and the staff helpful, professional and welcoming. The grounds really make the Hotel with that wonderful green Maderia touch. Interior is spacious and light with lots of interesting areas to wander round. Bedrooms are well equipped, clean and comfortable having your own large balcony is a bonus. Breakfast & Dinner offer lots of choice changing each day. We had a lovely relaxing time and will return.

    Thanks to a free upgrade we had a luxury, spacious superior suite on the highest floor for a week with stunning ocean view from the terrace and even from the bed. The hotel is perfectly designed, stylishly furnished, super clean. The staff is nice. The breakfast is excellent. It's easy to find parking place. Dear Management, thank you for this unforgottable upgrade.

    Fabulous hotel with beautiful decor in both public areas and the room and spectacular location on the sea. Wonderful outdoor area with pools and lovely gardens. The interior design was especially nice, with a feeling of intimacy in many areas, which is difficult to achieve in a large hotel. Plenty of things put on with live music, pilates, yoga etc. Excellent facilities including library, panel court, gym, indoor swimming pool and the staff were unfailing courteous, pleasant and made a fabulous hotel exceptional.

    Gorgeous boutique hotel at the heart of Funchal. Beautiful rooms, comfy robes and slippers, superb location, the restaurant downstairs offers delicious and healthy food. I had a very early start one day and they packed me a lovely brekkie to go that saved me on top of the mountain! I already want to come back
