We have stayed at the Porto Mare many times. The staff are always welcoming, the quality of the food is excellent and the gardens are beautiful. Considering the urban location, it is also very tranquil.

Hotel's Favourite
We really enjoyed our stay at the Porto Mare hotel. Beautiful facilities. Well maintained. Wonderful breakfast every morning. Several restaurants on site. If not for our desire to go sight seeing the beauty of Madeira island we probably would not have left the hotel. Wonderful place to stay on the beautiful Madeira island.

This hotel is our favourite place to be. It’s so clean, comfortable and friendly. The choice of food is good. It’s difficult to find anything to criticise. The gardens are immaculate and there’s a good choice of swimming pools. Definitely worth a visit.

If it were possible, this hotel should have 6 stars. Being frequent visitors to Madeira and having stayed at various hotels 4 and 5 star, the Porto Mare beats them all. The service and friendliness of all staff is most refreshing not to mention the servicing of rooms cannot be faulted. Breakfasts amazing. What else can I say!

We had a lovely week here in February half term, the complex is big and takes a little bit of getting used to and finding your way around, but it's very good. All staff were helpful and friendly, and to run breakfast like they do is something of a military operation (huge choice)! Beautiful grounds and gardens, and we enjoyed happy hour very much! We dined in twice in the evenings, once at the new soul food restaurant which was excellent (my steak especially), and once at the Italian, also v good but I'd give the edge to our first experience. Convenient buses outside, just be warned that there are different networks so the 'intercity' yellow buses will accept your prepaid bus passes but the grey buses are a different service. You can pay cash though, slightly higher rate. You can walk to the centre, 30-40 mins depending on your speed.

Excellent for a break from winter in England. Relaxing & diverting. Great location with fine gardens. Easy to get into central Funchal. Good selection of excursions, sights and restaurants. Definitely a hotel we would return to.

Lovely hotel, very clean, all staff provide excellent customer service, and rooms are of a very good size, with all ( most?) having balconies. Entertainment is provided in the 2 main bars each evening, varying in entertainment value, but we thought some of the nights were excellent. The main restaurant offers a daily breakfast buffet, and dinner buffet which are ok, but we chose to eat out of the hotel for dinner most nights. Location is good with a number of bars and restaurants all within easy short walking distances, and the bus to Funchal ( 10 mins away) goes from right outside the hotel , as does the Yellow island tourist bus.

We just couldn’t fault this hotel and it’s friendly staff. The gardens were wonderful they even had an orchid garden and an aviary, the facilities were excellent including a choice of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, the view from our balcony was beautiful, the choice and quality of the food was superb. It was outside the centre of Funchal but we enjoyed walking into Funchal from the hotel or using the regular local bus service which was inexpensive. In the other direction you could access the seafront promenade and it was a lovely walk along the front with lots of cafes to enjoy. We will be back again for sure and probably for two weeks the next time.
