Femte gang på Porto Mare. Residence er rigtigt flot og har meget høje standarder. Meget hjælpsomt personale. Vi måtte rejse hjem før tid, vi fik fuld refund fra hotellet. Meget imødekommende og professionelt. Kan varmt anbefale stedet. Vi kommer tilbage.

We had a really nice view from our room of the beach below. The room was spacious and very clean. For me the bed was not very comfortable as I am a side sleeper and the mattress was fairly hard. It wasn’t really close to old town, so we had to get transportation back and forth.

Very comfortable, quiet, and clean with excellent staff. However, a bit remote from the centre of town, particularly now that they have ceased their in-house shuttle service.

Immaculately kept residence in a very good area with excellent transport links into Funchal centre. Very friendly and helpful staff and the rooms are very comfortable, spacious and have great views. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the waiting staff were helpful and pleasant and the main pool and pool areas were spacious with plenty of sun beds available. Very enjoyable stay and we would love to return one day in the near future.

A great place to stay

The hotel and pool areas were exceptional. The breakfast offered a wide choice and the seating areas were delightful. The staff were We were upgraded to an apartment for our stay and although the accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the room was dark and the balcony was opposite a road which could be noisy at times. Having said that, I would still recommend this hotel as a great place to stay but in our experience the accommodation upgrade was at the expense of the location of the room.

Great, but beware of ants

Great place. Two problems with our room: 1. It was at the farthest possible point from elevators/reception so didn’t enjoy entering and exiting with young children and luggage. 2. Ants! There are a LOT of them in the room. Don’t leave any food unopened anywhere.

Beautiful, beautiful hotel, lovely gardens and facilities. Room was well equipped with everything we could need including spare towels for pool/spa. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a room facing the road which was noisy but it was changed with no fuss to quiet inward facing. Fantastic choice and quality of breakfast. Half hour walk into Funchal which we preferred to irregular bus service. Large supermarket close by if needed.

The hotel is great and can’t fault the staff, polite friendly and helpful. I did loose a day though because of a late easyJet flight also booked through Expedia. Alas it’s easier to talk to a brick wall than Expedia about this, not even sure they are real people might as well be BOTs, so next time will book direct with hotel and airlines.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 7night stay at The Residence (30/8/25-5/9/25) and would definitely recommend. The apartment was modern, clean, very roomy, bedroom, 2 bathrooms, lounge area, dining area, a very well equipped kitchen and balcony. Staff were welcoming and friendly. The gardens and pool area were absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The hotel complex is huge and has everything you could possibly want or need but it is very easy to get disorientated and lost! Madeira is a beautiful island we would definitely like to return.
