Great hotel located in the center of Funchal. The staff was friendly and super helpful, they gave us great recommendations and helped us with parking since the parking hotel was full at the time of our arrival. The rooftop is the best place to sip on a drink while enjoying the pool, or the gorgeous view of the city and the ocean.

Very polite, friendly staff, always greeting and smiling Clean, spacious room, with the light waiting for us Carpet on the floor, nice furniture, great bed, enough surfaces to put everything a traveler may need Warm room and excellent ventilation in the bathroom You can see the ocean while chilling on the divan Bathtub, bathrobes, quality shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, smelling nicely; many towels Two sinks and enough space around them, paper napkins Window in between bathroom and the bedroom (with the blinds) - just a spicy detail! Good soundproofing (we could only hear the sounds through the room door) Versatile breakfast, enough (simple) vegan options Nearly no birdman (the man/woman with the wild predator bird hanging around), only a glimpse seen (bird exploitation sucks) Enjoyable design of the hotel, live music at the bar, game room with chess tables Each guest has their own key card Recycling bin Good location Price to quality ratio is superb

Curral das Freiras

Tucked in a hidden valley, this charming village promises spectacular views of the surrounding mountainside and treats made with local chestnuts.

Pico Ruivo peak

Climb to the top of Madeira’s highest peak for stunning scenery and panoramic vistas over the entire island.

Cape Girão lookout point

Cape Girão is home to Europe’s highest cliff skywalk, which includes a thrilling lookout point with a glass-floored platform.

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Archipelago

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

The hospitality is perfect. • When arrived, you will be seated and can enjoy a passion fruit welcome drink. • The room is spacious and clean, with artwork of C Ronaldo.Right outside the room, there is an outdoor gym on grass, overlooking Funchal. As well as the swimming pool, sauna and hot tub. Be sure to arrive early to enjoy those facilities. • If you come back to the hotel late, the hotel restaurant is closed but there is also a seaside restaurant just beside the hotel that open until midnight. You can enjoy beer and meat for around 1x euros. • Breakfast at the hotel is excellent with many choices of hot and cold food. There is a chef for fresh omelette as well. Drinks included many juices and procecco, I made my own cocktail. • Luggage could be stored after check out. • Ask for a ticket if you do not have time to do the CR7 Museum Tour during your time, and do it after check out.

Although there are many tourist in the city, it actually doesn't feel very touristy to me. People are very relaxed and friendly. I met a nice couple from England and a father/son duo from France on our whale/dolphin 3 hour tour. We had fun spotting dolphins and laughed when we were all getting splashed by the waves headed back to Funchal.

Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

The volcanic pools were closed due to high waves, We learnt at the reception that the best time to enjoy using them is May-October. Aquarium is fine but rather small. We've tried Rooftop Restaurant - great food but not the cheapest in the world. The Beerhouse is a great place in good weather. With rain you are forced to stay inside. Porto Moniz is small with the volcanic pools its main attraction.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.
