We stayed at a lower star rated hotel in the mountains for the first part of our stay in Madeira so arriving at the CS Madeira we noticed the difference in standards. This hotel is of an ultra modern contemporary design and it was amazing especially the lobby and communal areas. There was no queue to check in and we... more

We travelled with Mercury Direct and saved £'s compared to Thomson on whose flight we travelled. Windsor travel - agents for MD- picked us up in a minibus and transfer was about 35 minutes. The hotel is about 2-3k from Funchal downhill all the way but that means uphill coming back. However there are loads of taxis and the local... more

Have just returned from my 7th visit to CS Madeira (previouly Crowne Plaza). Madeira is not a place to go if you want wild night life but if you need to sit back and recharge your batteries this is definitely the place to go. The interior of hotel is very minimalistic but all is calm and relaxing, if you want... more

Nothing disappointed, a classy well run hotel, we were a little wary as it is of such a huge modern design. Staff were very helpful and friendly, the management made themsleves very conspicuous and were always asking the guest if everything was ok. The Spa was amazing, having travelled far and wide to many spas and this was one of... more

We booked 3 nights at the hotel through Expedia at a promotional rate of £85/night. The hotel is magnificently set built, as are many of the other 5* hotels in Funchal, into a steep cliff side directly on the shore. From Level 1 you take a lift down to the pools area. From a jetty you may also swim in... more

My husband and I were pleased we chose CS Madeira. The hotel was just like the website- and most of the reviews on here. The design is impressive, the room was clean, spacious, well-appointed, good sized balcony and simply stunning view out across the ocean. We didn't have dinner at the hotel but breakfast in the garden restaurant was perfect,... more

I can not believe some of the postings re the CS Madeira. The hotel is souless and has no atmosphere, the majority of the staff are of poor quality and although the hotel is structurally maybe a 5 star, the service and atmosphere are akin to a 3 star. The entire pool area has a gravel type flooring making it... more

The CS Atlantic is a large hotel comprising two identical but independent blocks facing south, a mile or so outside Funchal in the Hotel district. All is zen calm and white. High maintenance standards disguise the fact that this is not a new place – only the dated bathrooms give the game away. Most off the rooms face south and... more
