What’s not to like! This is our second visit here and we are just as impressed again with the overall experience. Clean hotel, super friendly staff, good food, great facilities and all in a superb setting. There’s nothing more you need here to have a wonderful stay, everything from the decor to the friendliness of everyone, just makes you want to stay forever. There’s not much else to say other than we will be back for a third visit. Love the island, love this hotel.

The Porto Mare was recommended by friends who had stayed previously and it did not disappoint. We received excellent pre welcome information and on arrival they accommodated an early check in easily. We had a ground floor room, with terrace with access to gardens and out door pool area. Room was exceptionally clean, spacious and comfortable with good quality bedding. Whilst the hotel is large in size, it remains quiet and you can easily find some quiet space around the pool which is situated amongst gardens. Warning though, the pool is not heated! However indoor pools are available. We had a simple snack type lunch at pool bar after exploring one morning, staff were friendly and relaxed. Breakfast was excellent, although a buffet, it was of excellent quality, again busy but plenty of staff available and space. Porto Mare is not located in central Funchal, but about 10-15 minutes outside, though public bus stops outside hotel and is easy and quick to use.

A hotel complex that offers a great deal but was relaxing and calm. Rooms were good, we stayed in the west wing and we're not disturb by the bar beneath. Location is good to access the sea front, for walking into the centre although the old quarter is a good distance away so coffee break along the way is recommended.

Dear V6203RAmaryb, We would like to thank you for choosing our Hotel for another stay in Funchal. . We are glad to know that you had a wonderful stay with us on our beautiful Madeira Island! We are happy that you have considered the room change that we offered as the wellbeing and comfort of our guests is our main priority. We always do every effort to offer an alternative room but due to the very high occupancies we usually work with, sometimes it is not possible to respond immediately. In the same way, this is why we consider our guests feedback so important while you are still in house, so we can solve the situation in the best possible way to establish the contentment of our single and every guest. We hope to have the privilege of welcoming you again soon! Until there, we wish you all the best! Kind Regards, Lícia Ferreira Guest Relations

The Porto Mare is a beautiful hotel set in the most gorgeous lush gardens. We had a lovely stay and the staff and cleanliness of the hotel was excellent. Our only slight disappointment was the selection of food in the evening buffet, it could possibly have more choice. Although the food that we had was all good. We would definitely return to the hotel and recommend to friends and family
