Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel

Due to a flight cancellation, I ended up staying an extra day on the island and naturally chose this hotel again. I booked a smaller family suite—though labeled as compact, it was actually quite spacious. Two queen beds plus a sofa bed easily accommodated four people with room to spare. That unexpected extra day turned into pure relaxation: lounging by the pool, enjoying the sea views, and savoring delicious meals. The hotel restaurant prices are comparable to local dining options across the street, where there’s also a supermarket nearby. I picked up wine and snacks to enjoy back in the room—such a nice touch. The main pool is filled with seawater, perfect for floating with your head just above the surface. There’s also a second pool down a few steps, and if you’re confident in the water, you can even swim out into the open sea. It’s such a unique and peaceful experience—highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful coastal setting.

The pool area is spacious and perfect for relaxing under the sun or just floating around. Every detail feels thoughtfully designed for comfort and enjoyment.

Quintinha São João Hotel & Spa

What an absolute gem! This hotel truly feels like a hidden paradise in Funchal. With just 42 rooms, it offers a personal touch without sacrificing comfort. Our room was spacious and inviting—featuring a plush bed, cozy sofa, writing desk, and a private balcony overlooking lush gardens. We were greeted with thoughtful touches: a fridge stocked with refreshments and fresh bottled water replenished daily. Breakfast and dinner were exceptional—varied, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The bar was a highlight too, offering small plates and tapas all day long, plus fun experiences like a Poncha cocktail workshop and a gin tasting session that added real charm to our stay. But what truly sets this place apart are the staff—every single one of them goes above and beyond. The front desk team was incredibly helpful, sharing local tips, restaurant recommendations, and even bus schedules. Restaurant staff, though busy, always had a smile and a friendly chat. The bartenders made cocktails with care and personality. Even the housekeeping team stood out—our room was immaculate every day, and the entire property looked pristine, from the pools to the garden paths. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were clean, well-maintained, and inviting—the indoor one especially warm and relaxing. After staying at many wonderful hotels worldwide, this one easily stands out as the best experience so far. I can’t recommend it enough. If I ever return to Madeira, this will be my first choice.

Melia Madeira Mare

Wow, we got upgraded to a better room upon check-in—what a pleasant surprise! The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning, with panoramic sea and mountain vistas. It’s super convenient too: just a short walk up a slight hill leads to restaurants and supermarkets, so you’ve got everything you need right nearby. The only downside? The city center is a bit of a distance away, but there’s a bus stop right outside the hotel, making transit easy. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming—mostly standard Western-style options with very few warm or hearty choices like soups or stews. That said, the bathroom amenities were decent, at least they came from a recognizable brand. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and a beautiful setting. Definitely worth staying again!
