The Residence at Vila Porto Mare

The top line on this hotel is that it is excellent. The staff are great, the value his good. the facilities; décor and rooms are very good. Can’t really find any fault at all!

Great location a short bus ride from Funchal town. Glorious views and tropical gardens. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Pools were lovely and there were lots of facilities and not too many people! Our room was super comfy with a terrace - we will return!

Beautiful hotel in admittedly a very tourist/hotel area with all the amenities you could want e.g pools,bars, restaraunts. Best buffet breakfast with great choice including prosecco. Beautifully appointed gardens also.

Overall very nice hotel. The pool, gardens and grounds were awesome. The only small complaint I have is the air conditioning unit was directly below our balcony. It could be bit loud when running which was most of the time.

Perfect location and hotel. The room facilities could not have been better. The staff were helpful and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The room was perfect ultra clean and modern with every facility you could need. Located near the lido and a quiet rocky bay. Facilities were good and there were plenty of opportunities to walk locally or just relax in the grounds, pools or park. Transport links to and from the hotel are good and local taxis relatively cheap. There are numerous restaurants in the hotel complex with great food and choice. Equally there are many local restaurants and cafe bars which are convenient and good. Highly recommended we would definitely use again

Stayed for the first week in April. Self-catering, but booking through Expedia gave us breakfast too (which was excellent). Great pool too. There's a free shuttle bus into town that runs about 8 times a day (book at reception) and the airport bus stops right outside complex at Porto Mare. Will definitely be back.

We stopped for a long weekend and we were not disappointed We arrived early but they got us in to our room within the hour Beautiful location and very well appointed accommodation Will definitely return

From the moment we arrived we felt totally at home, the welcoming was friendly and the rooms felt even more palatial than we remembered. The few days were tranquil and the hot stone treatment with Monica was a real indulgent and relaxing treat to the body and soul. It was a gourmet delight visiting some iconic restaurants over the 5 nights...Madeira has worked its charm and we will not leave it 10 years again before we revisit.

Great room, great view, great facilities and great food. Really recommend this place, beautiful to look at !

The hotel exceeded our expectations. Staff were friendly and helpful, great room overlooking lush gardens, excellent pools and restaurants on site. We had planned to visit local restaurants but found those at the hotel so good we didn't eat out. The best was The Med, but the others were good too. The hotel is not fully accessible for those fully dependant on wheelchairs in that the pool we used, the indoor/outdoor, was difficult to get in and out of and doors to the garden were heavy to open. Bars, lounges and restaurants are fully accessible and there were plenty of lifts. We did not have an accessible room so I can't comment on that. We had a great time here and would happily stay in this hotel again.
