Porto Mare Hotel has beautiful grounds always clean and well maintained. We stayed in a suite with my 15month year old and we had everything we needed - small kitchen, high chair and cot.There is plenty to do at the resort so you don’t need to leave if you don’t want, equally the town centre is a short drive away. The service from all staff was exceptional. They went above and beyond. Examples - seeing our baby screaming and tired after a long flight they rushed the check in process and allowed us to return to finalise it. A complementary bottle of wine was left for my mum as they noticed it was her birthday on her passport. These small touches it made it perfect!

The hotel was really great. It reopened the 21th of July 2025 and we were the first guest. The food was delicious. - Buffet for breakfast and a la carte menu for lunch and dinner. Really good coffee and nice cocktails also. It was fresh and top quality even ig i am very picky😅 The pools were gorgeous, sunbeds are also included. There was also a towel trunk to give you as many fresh towel as you want. The hotel is not crowed and childfriendly. The staff was so nice and helpful. After our stay i went to the Pestana for 2 days and the comparison was hard. I must say our stay with Navigator was much better than the Pestana next door and cheaper.

Caju is a high quality modern boutique hotel. The location in the centre of Funchal is highly touristic, Caju is unique but wouldn't appeal to everyone The staff were excellent and providing some great recommendations for local restaurants that are not typical for tourists. The quality of everything was excellent and the Caju restuarant particularly good for vegan, quality, fresh food. There is a small gym but no other communal facilities

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Islands

The Island of Eternal Spring

With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.

One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.

The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.

East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.

Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

    Everything was fantastic. From the moment we arrived the reception was friendly and welcoming. The owner is always present to chat and ask about your wellbeing. We loved our room with a terrace. The breakfasts and dinner were great and staff were always smiling and friendly. I celebrated my birthday and everyone was so lovely. Special thanks to our waitress and the bar staff who were always so friendly and cheerful. Walks from the hotel down to Calheta or up to the Levada are amazing. We will definitely return. Thank you!

    The weather/climate was just perfect. We went in mid September but apparently it's like that all year round. We found the restaurant and shop staff very friendly and didn't mind that we were English and couldn't speak Portuguese. Really easy to get around by taxi - Bolt and Uber were half the price of the yellow taxis. Food and drink were reasonably priced.

    Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

    Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira. Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

    Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.
