"Reid’s Palace was such a lovely hotel - we didn’t want to leave! The ocean lounge area, pool, restaurants, rooms, and views - everything was spectacular."

NEXT - Savoy Signature

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was lovely. We had a view of the sea. The cleaners were very attentive. But maybe the hotel was designed for the younger type of couples. The music around the hotel was the same beat type music. A very big entrance/reception area and lots of chairs. Seemed a waste of space."

The Cliff Bay, by PortoBay

8/10 Good

"Great location and a very beautiful rose garden for breakfast and lovely dinners. Rooms are large, but a little older; however, still very nice. The hotel food and drinks are VERY expensive. We are from the United States, and you can expect prices as much as New York City and Los Angeles for food and drinks. The staff was mostly friendly but not over-the-top accommodating. Morning staff at breakfast seemed irritable, and the front desk was hit or miss with friendliness"

Moon & Sun Funchal

10/10 Excellent

"This is a fabulous hotel to stay in for a trip to Madeira!! The room was well equipped and a minor issue with the coffee maker was resolved very quickly. Breakfast was plentiful with a good supply of both hot and cold options. Complements to the chefs at the egg station who made tasty fried eggs and omelettes for us each day. The hotel is well placed in Funchal with a supermarket around the corner and the marina and the old town were only a short walk away. What really made our trip was the kindness and warmth of the staff. They couldn’t do enough for us during our stay and helped to make our first trip to Madeira a truly memorable one!"
