This is definitely a great hotel if you are looking to combine relaxation with sight seeing and shopping. From the moment we arrived we were delighted with the care and level of service received. The hotel is very modern, spacious and has amazing views from every angle. Our room was a great size with a lovely balcony and was serviced... More

As regular visitors to the island this was our second visit in 6 months to this hotel. This 10 day stay went so quickly. Great location & hotel. All staff throughout the hotel are very friendly & nothing was too much trouble. Would like to mention the excellent Reception Staff - Rafaela, Gilda, Clara, Carla & Francisco plus Simone (Guest...

We stayed here for 5 nights on our first trip to Madeira. The location is great, there are so many great restaurants within walking distance, even a supermarket down the road. The hotel looked very modern, our room was on the 3rd floor and had great views out to the ocean. The breakfast buffet is great, with a huge variety... More

This 5-star rated Hotel is in a very good position in Funchal with unrestricted ocean view and access. The property must be somewhat 20 years old and was recently modernized. Current design and amenity standards are met well but without passion or any outstanding features. The outside infiniity pools are beatiful - however we had 7 days of bad weather... More

We had a nice and spacey room for us and an extra room for the kids. Lots of possibilities to do sports in the Hotel (Squash, Tennis,...). The sometimes long was to the different areas of the Hotel are compensated through the offer of space and activities that can be done. Close to various restaurants and the Hotel itself has... More

My stay at the Vidamar Resort was great. The room was comfortable and the A/C, bathroom and the balcony view of the ocean was very nice. The only thing that prevents me from giving 5 stars is that the wi-fi is heavily firewalled, which makes it not very easy to use and blocks streaming videos and iTunes store connections (and... More
