Hotel Porto Mare - PortoBay

Excelente pequeno-almoço com grande variedade e qualidade, servido no jardim. Adorámos o jardim, muito bem cuidado. Piscinas interior e exterior muito limpas assim como todo o espaço envolvente. Quartos grandes com varanda muito agradável. Vários restaurantes e bar com música ao vivo. Gostámos muito. Tiveram a gentileza de deixar uma garrafa de champanhe no quarto porque repararam que era aniversário.

Nada a declarar.

Bon confort mais la décoration date un peu . Beaux jardins et nombreuses piscines. Excellent petit déjeuner Personnel du PDJ

Personnel à l’accueil pas chaleureux du tout. Isolation phonique moyenne Pas de ventilation dans la sdb ? Rapport qualité prix décevant ( prestations 4 étoiles prix 5 étoiles),

Staff was unfriendly

Très bel hôtel très bien équipé, vue magnifique et bonne qualité de service.

Chambre avec vue mer était en fait avec mer sur le côté et bar très bruyant (groupe tous les soirs)

We had a lovely break at Porto Mare. We stayed in the Residence. We booked an inland view room but we had a panoramic sea view also overlooking a little park. We had a kitchenette with fridge, double hob, microwave, toaster, coffee maker and kettle and plenty of crockery/pots/cutlery etc. There was a bottle of water provided on arrival as well as tea/coffee. The bathroom had full size Ritual toiletries provided, as well as bathrobes, slippers, beach towels, tote bag and little extras like a sewing kit, razor and toothbrush. We had breakfast included which was buffet style and of a very high quality with plenty of choice, and we ate at the pool bar once which was very tasty. Other than that, we used the local restaurants or cooked in our room. There’s a Pingo Doce supermarket next to the hotel (open till 10pm) and several Spar shops around the resort. The hotel has two heated indoor pools, one of which has an outdoor section which we found very tranquil and used a lot. There’s also a large outside pool with plenty of sunbeds. The gardens are lovely and the orchid garden is a good place for lizard spotting if that’s your thing. Immediately outside the main hotel entrance is a Yellow Bus Tour shop where you can buy various tickets for the open top bus and there are other tour shops dotted around. The hotel has a few restaurants and there are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance (Madeira is very hilly which could be tricky if you’re less mobile). If you want to get to the front of the hotel from the Residence without walking up a steep hill, head for the reception in the Porto Mare section and exit that way, and vice versa to get to the seafront without going down a steep hill, follow signs for the Residence and exit at that reception.

We had a lovely time staying with you and exploring Funchal and Madeira. The hotel was excellent in all aspects and the gardens are amazing. The room exceeded our expectations and the food choice nd quality was superb. We will return!
