"Overall a good stay, property is in a quiet area. Not much to do in Santa Cruz which is nice. I did the half board option and honestly would skip it next time. The food was basic cafeteria food, par at best. "

"Good value hotel with a reliable bus service to Funchal only 5min walk away which I used on multiple occasions. It’s very good value compared to taxis. The staff were very helpful at all times of the day and the reception always had a friendly face there to help with many questions. I would stay here again."

"Spent 3 nights, good location only 11 mins from airport, in front of the Riu hotel. 3 bedrooms, one huge living room, fully equipped kitchen, terrace overlooking the sea and Riu. Small handy supermarket downstairs, parking in the building's garage but better have smaller than bigger car, it's a bit tight. Beach about 10 mins walking, I still swam in early March. Extra blankets appreciated, early March, still colder nights. One heating unit. Strict owner - if you're coming late to meet him (he'll...

"Could not open window and back door as cacourockes would come in, as well very noisy, towels were only changed once for a 14 day stay, there was a smell in the kitchen that came from the sewer. Sheets were not cotton so they were hot to sleep in. Out of 10 I would give 2. "

"The staff was so kind and the property looks on the beautiful cliffs of Madeira. We loved being able to use the Galosol pool, this was definitely a highlight. There are many restaurants within walking distance and parking is very inexpensive and easy in front. Nice to be away from the city but still close to visit as needed, would recommend for a relaxing stay!"

Dreams Madeira Resort Spa & Marina - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"The set up and architecture of the village is great. Staff in sports bar, cocktail bar, Oishii, entertainment and spa were great. The coffee in the coffee bar was fab and the staff there were lovely.
There was always a sunbed which was good. Food in Oishii and Beach bar was particularly good. Having to book your restaurant at 8am the day of eating is a pain. Thankfully I'm a morning person so not such a big issue but it meant you had to sit with your finger ready at 8am or there'd be nothing available. I only found this out from other reviews not from reception.
Food in world Cafe always only like warm, even if you were the first there!
Reception service was very hit and miss. We weren't told on arrival that our bracelet opened our door, only found out when we went to get a second key card. Waited about 15 mins at reception while someone went through the whole app with someone checking in, finally a lady (skipped me and attended a woman behind me first) came over and asked if she could help. She was the one told us we didn't need a card to open the door. I asked for a robe and she said no problem and put it into her phone, I never got a robe.
The day of checking out I asked for a packed breakfast as our flight was at 6:30. I was told this was no problem so we were put down for 2 packs, again I watched her put it into the computer. The next morning when we went to get it there was no record of it and no packs. I was really annoyed as I'd left nuts and small snacks behind."
"Please note that this review is for the Hotel Solar do Bom Jesus in Santa Cruz - I was asked to move to this hotel when Hotel Amparo requested that I move to their sister hotel due to short-notice issues with the hotel. This was fine for me and it was handled very well by both hotels."
Soothing 2-bedroom house with WiFi in Água de Pena with a stunning panorama.
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful house with view of the coast. The house has everything you might need and more. Kind and friendly host that welcomed us and showed us around. Easy access to main road, parking included on premises.
This house is best to rent if you plan to rent a car, otherwise it might be cumbersome to get around as busses don’t go too often around that area, otherwise it is great.
Highly recommend if you are staying on the east side of Madeira.

"Staying at São Lourenço Guest House in Madeira was truly the highlight of our trip. The property is stunning, peaceful, and spotless, with everything thoughtfully arranged for comfort and relaxation. But what made it unforgettable was the host—so warm, welcoming, and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. From local tips to daily check-ins, their kindness made us feel completely at home. It was hands down the best stay we’ve ever had, and we can’t wait to return!
