Melia Madeira Mare

Room was excellent in both view and facilities. Reception were very accommodating and informative on arrival and they were able to give us our room earlier than the normal check-in time. Location of the hotel was likewise perfect for local amenities.

Really nice hotel, big comfortable room and very clean! Breakfast option were really nice and had big variety, the same about dinner! Staff was really polite and helpful. Pretty nice gym, well equipped.

Very calm colours therefore easy to relax

Fantastic the room was incredible the view amazing and the whole experience above our expectations Fabulous team in a exceptional area of beauty Breakfast could not be better , the Pool bar 10/10 the bar areas great and the Pool outstanding My family loved it from 9 to 70 years

Considering it is a 5 star hotel, it is great value for money and the stay and room was five stars all the way. The service and staff are beyond my expectations. I had just completed my 8 day solo walk around the island and asked if it was possible to have a quieter room away from the road (I booked a lateral sea view room with a balcony, which is also excellent itself). Carla at reception was very helpful and found me another room, an unexpected upgrade, with a larger balcony and direct sea view. I also appreciated her sincere recommendation for dinner, specifically "no touristy restaurants please". I listened and had a seafood platter at PVP - Pão, Vinho e Petiscos, opposite the hotel, and it was the best I have had in a long time! My picnic (on the day I couldn't have breakfast), taxis and room changes were all efficiently organised and carried out. Unfortunately, while I was there, the hotel was undergoing some refurbishment due to damage caused by the bad weather, and I think part of the restaurant overlooking the pool was closed, as was the indoor pool. I imagine it would be an even better experience if these areas were not closed. However, we were given plenty of notice of the refurbishment before we checked in. As a substitute, the hotel did well to liaise with the neighbouring hotel to allow us to use their indoor pool. Overall a great stay and only regret is, I could not extend my stay as the hotel was fully booked on my last night in Funchal.
