Suite Hotel Jardins Da Ajuda

After a 4 hour flight we were taken to this hotel which is about a 45 min stroll on the promenade to Funchal. There was a courtesy bus but not needed. Opposite the hotel is a mall with supermarket, clothes stores and eateries. The newsagent sells Giro cards for the buses. For €5 daily you can use the public transport for as many trips as you like. Simple load the card. You pay extra for the suburban ticket that takes you farther. In the opposite direction, again a 45-1 hour walk, you arrive at the fishing village. We caught a taxi from there up to the skywalk. We walked back down the many stepped corridors through the farms back to the centre. Our knees were wobbly by this time as the descent had taken about an hour. Enjoyed coffee and Bolas on the entire holiday. A ride up the mountain on cable car is well worth it with spectacular views of Funchal. Pick a clear day. The small cafe just near the toboggans provided pan pipe music and delicious cappuccinos as we enjoyed the vista and watched the men in pin*****e suits guiding the toboggans down the steep slopes. We returned by cable car. If its not busy, you can just wait for an empty car and hop in with just your crew. We enjoyed having it to ourselves. A visit to the Ronaldo museum was OK, a bit pricey for the entrance. They should have shown his best goals on a reel but nothing like that. Just saw trophies and pics. The botanical hardens were not in full bloom due to time of year but were pleasant to walk around. There is a museum there too with stuffed animals. A walk through the town is very pleasant. Live bands can be very entertaining on a Saturday afternoon. Hotel room was spacious replete with a mini kitchen,fridge, crockery and cookware. We had the garden view where it was quieter though I couldn't compare. Breakfast had great variety. Many lines. No complaints. The swimming pool was heated and there was a sauna too. Huge towels are provided. There is also an outdoor pool.

My partner and I have just returned from a week stay here, it was our first time on the island so we had no idea what to expect but honestly this was amazing! From the moment we arrived everyone was so friendly and made us feel incredibly welcome. Our room was fantastic, we especially liked the fact it had a living area and bedroom separate as it gave us so much more space, huge balcony too. We stayed in the 8th floor so got amazing views both sea view and over the pool. Our room was cleaned everyday and fresh towels provided as long as you put them in the bath, as well as everything in provided in the room (coffee and shower gels etc.) being topped up. It was our first time being all inclusive but we were honestly blown away by the food and the drinks options available. They do advertise a package when you first arrive for premium all inclusive for around 20 euros a day, but honestly I don’t think there’s any need to get this unless you like branded drinks. All the regular drinks are available normally and the cocktail menu is huge and each one delicious. We really enjoyed the food at the hotel, breakfast was more or less the same each day but lovely and from 11am onwards there’s always snacks available at the pool bar. They do serve lunch outside yet we found this fitted us perfectly, especially when chilling round the pools as we’d just pop down and get fresh omelettes, wraps and burgers made for us. Our favourite evening was the traditional bbq! Around the pool there’s always sunbeds free no matter what time of the day you go, we never had any trouble getting any or even the beds they had by the adult pool. We were given a card for pool towels which you handed in then gave back when you were finished for the day, so no need to bring your own! If you’re looking to do an excursion, I’d highly recommend the Saturday morning jeep safari, our tour guide dino was exceptional, he answered every question asked and took us to amazing places we wouldn’t have visited otherwise and he made us laugh so much too! We did visit Funchal one day, using bolt it costed around €5 each way and was so easy to do rather than get ripped off by other taxis. Overall, we genuinely couldn’t have had a better holiday, everything about this was exceptional! Would defo come back and reccomend to family and friends.
Suite Hotel Eden Mar - PortoBay

Lido Bathing Complex
Overall great stay and we'll likely be back next time we visit Madeira. Great location close to lots of restaurants and bars, and bus stops. It's not too far to walk to the city center and there's lots to see on the way there, too. The rooms were clean, shampoo etc. was provided and there were even extra blankets which we were very grateful for as it can be chilly at night. What we did not enjoy that much was the breakfast, as both restaurants serve about the same food and it was the same every morning. The taste was ok but we probably won't add breakfast the next time we stay, or not for all days. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, however, the hotel appeared to be understaffed, meaning we'd have to wait quite a bit to receive service, e.g., at the reception, and staff seemed stressed at times.
Madeira Regency Cliff - Adults Only
4.4/560 Reviews
Lido Bathing Complex
Booked this adult only hotel through Jet2. Hotel and room lovely but the balcony’s overlook a very large, very noisy public lido. We spent many afternoons and evenings listening to the shrieks and screams of happy children. Jet2 had carefully not included this in write up or photos. One main reason for booking this hotel was for evening entertainment, Jet2 stated that there was ‘ regular evening entertainment including live music’. This turned out to be a man coming in carrying a small keyboard on Monday and Thursday evenings. Not what we were expecting!! This is the second holiday that we has been misled by Jet2 advertising. Will not use them again.
VidaMar Resort Hotel Madeira
4.3/548 Reviews
Lido Bathing Complex
We have stayed at Vida Mar since 2017 and absolutely love it! The Ocean View Buffet breakfast and dinner are really good with fantastic selection. The pools are really nice. The staff are all very friendly, especially Suzie who up till this visit was always cooking our eggs at breakfast time. She always greets EVERYONE with a happy greeting, making us all feel special ❤️ . Unfortunately (for us) this time she is only at her egg “station” for two days per week, which made us all very sad. The other members of staff serving are pleasant but she is special and an asset to the hotel. I did talk to Customer Relations who told me the management have decided that others in their “team” should learn all skills, requiring rotation of staff. I understand this but so many people know Suzi and she remembers us all. She is the highlight of our breakfasts at Vida Mar, her photo even appearing on their promotional information. Bring back Suzi!😂
Hotel Alto Lido

Very good hotel top location right next to the bus direction airport and direction center Well soundproofed because we had seen the works … and that's fine, we slept very well despite that Only downside is breakfast or on arrival they force you to choose a time In case of change, you must call the night before. It's super annoying! Especially when you don't have a precise schedule We didn't respect the schedule every day and it's ok, we didn't fail :) Receptionists are top notch and always available
