One week stay at the beginning of February. A great deal with Hotelsbooked.com (i have no association with that company and have not used them before.) The Melia Madeira Mare is an excellent place to stay. The hotel is very modern, restful, with many sophisticated sculptures in public areas. I would particularly comment on the friendliness and helpfulness of the... More

We stayed on a high floor and had a great balcony with lots of room to relax. It felt very private and the view over the bay was stunning. Food was the usual buffet - ok if you like that sort of thing but we tended to try and find something in town. More

We have just returned from a lovely holiday at this hotel, everything is of the standard expected of a 5* hotel in Madeira, the rooms were lovely, the indoor and outdoor pools were great and the outdoor areas were very nice, loads of sunbeds and sitting out areas . The only drawback with this hotel was the extortinate prices of... More

We have just returned from a marvellous holiday.This was our first to Madeira. It is a beautiful island and it certainly will not be our last. What made the holiday for us was the fabulous hotel Melia Madeira Mare in Funchal. The hotel was beautiful and superbly equipped. Our room had a view of the ocean from our balcony. Heated... More

We stayed 2 weeks in this lovely hotel. Absolutely everything met our highest expectations. We booked a room with ocean view and upon arrival we were upgraded for free to what they call a "superiour room" including a private sun terrace of at least 35 m2. A big lovely pool that we had for ourselves in the morning. Really nice... More

My wife and I (both retired) had a superb week here. It represents fantastic value (don't pay full brochure price) provided you don't expect 5-star a la Park Lane 5-star. Think 4-star and you will not be disappointed. There is one proviso: you have to like a hard mattress. The meals are all buffet style which is surprising, bearing in... More

Let me start by saying if you want English sausages or a traditional English breakfast go to Clackton, not Madeira. We are regular visitors to Madeira and our friends stayed in this hotel just after it opened. We returned here in November and found it to be excellent value for money. It may not be a five star along the... More

Spent a week in this hotel in mid October and, although it is certainly a very modern hotel, the dining room is not offering 5star food or service. The fresh fruit was the best thing about breakfast but the fruit "juice" was horrible watered down liquid. The self service cooked breakfast was usually lukewarm and the lady "chef" sometimes behind... More
