We are a professional mature married couple (late 50s) who have regular holidays and are well travelled. Hotel Melia was opened last Nov 2008, and is one of a few modern contempory hotels that are now attracting younger clients. I understood from the locals, and taxi drivers that the Melia has developed a great reputation for service, comfort, quality of... more

We came to Madeira for honeymoon. This island is great for walking and traveling - great views and walks. The hotel was wonderfull , our room was upgraded for free to front side view, the room is huge and very clean and new. Bed is king size , 37" LCD , great sea view , very moderate and big bathroom.... more

Just returned from a week at this hotel and found it to be great value. The hotel is large, very new and is quite simply decorated- however it is still appealing. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were all friendly. The spa was a fabulous facility but a little understaffed so appointments were hard to come by. Our inital... more

Stayed a week bed and breakfast at the start of October. Sea view room large and well appointed, free internet, large bathroom and lots of desk and storage space, roomy balcony with fabulous view.

My husband and I recently spent two weeks at this lovely hotel, It was really quiet and was lacking a little bit of atmosphere, but the staff were lovely especially Carla and Sonia, waitresses. The rooms were great and the pool good although a little small. Lots of eateries nearby. We were half board so two weeks of the restuarant... more

HOTEL The hotel was very clean (room cleaning a little disappointing as they neglected to leave more loo rolls....but that was a minor point). Decor was faultless and very plush. We used the library internet a lot and the indoor pool and gym, all of which were very good. BREAKFAST We stayed on a B & B basis and were... more

It was our first holiday to Maderia, hopefully not our last. We are a couple between the age of 35-45, which is probably the recommended age (& over) that would enjoy this holiday. If you need a chilled out, relaxed location this is the place.It is more of a couples, rather than a family destination. The hotel deserves its 5stars.... more
