Madalena do Mar hotels from HK$750

"Loved the location, enjoyed the large garden rooms, breakfast was abundant and amenities were good. Parking is available on hotel grounds. The lobby needs an update to match the rest of the hotel. The room service menu could do with better options other than sandwiches. "

"Very helpful friendly staff, beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, good fresh selection of food for breakfast, didn’t get to use the pool but the roof patio is fantastic!"

"The Riu was clean, with a friendly staff. Food was horrible "

"Very comfortable hotel with amazing ocean views, clean, nice beds, excellent service. Breakfast was great, plenty of food to choose from. Decor is modern and fits very nicely with wilderness of Madeira. Strongly recommend for high quality hotel."

"The hotel is a solid offering for a good priced all inclusive. Serve your own drinks around the pool during the day. Constant snack bar. Great pizza. Yes, it’s focused more on the saga holiday demographic but in our 40’s, no kids, we don’t want roudy anyway! It’s perfectly located to walk into Funchal, have meals out when you want the variety etc. The negatives: Unfortunately my pyjamas went missing with the laundry, having been left on top of the sheets. Nothing in the hotel laundry, nothing in the contract laundry. They can’t just disappear! The pool was freezing - nice for actual swimming but too cold just to chill in. Dinner - if you go in after about 8pm, the nice salads (prawns / cold meat) had gone and were not replaced. We specifically checked what was on offer one evening and decided to stay in the hotel because of the offering but because we like a late dinner (we’re younger than the typical demographic of the hotel) the nicer stuff had gone. A real shame as we’d have eaten out by that time in the holiday. The menu in the à la carte restaurants could when been more varied - but we didn’t eat in them."

"Nice property, buffet breakfast and a nice variety of dinner options. "

"Large comfortable room. Good bed. Spacious en suite. All staff were universally helpful and friendly. "

"Great location."

"Amazing! Amazing staff! Great representation of Madeira. I can’t wait to come back! Awesome awesome!"
