I think this is the best hotel in Funchal. It was fully occupied but still appears quiet. The garden area is exceptional. The Atlantic restaurant supplies wonderful buffets for breakfast and dinner. There is free WiFi in the reception area. Also a fridge and a safe in the room. I can't think of anything that i would want to change.... More

This was the fourth time we visited this perfect hotel! In 2004 we made our first trip to Madeira and Porto Mare was part of our fly-drive tour! From that moment onward we decided to come back to this hotel, which was quite new then! Apart from the wonderful garden (which grew and grew during the last nine years and... More

All reception and dining areas were well designed and the... More

This is a beautiful Hotel with gardens that have to be seen to be believed. All the staff are always friendly and helpful and the breakfasts alone are worth the visit! The atmosphere in the hotel is very relaxed

We went to this Hotel after looking at reviews and we were not disappointed. It is very relaxing with no outstreached hands looking for tips, Great breakfast and a good bus service into the centre of Funchal. It even has BBc1, BBC2 and ITV on the television. The grounds are like a small botanical garden with a great swimming pool... More
