Popular Funchal 4-star Hotels

The hotel is in a good location and the sea view room which we reserved had a nice view of ocean. But, I need to mention that this hotel is not a 4 star hotel. The whole building is old and they kept it in an old fashion way. The bath is not good, they don't offer even water in daily service and neither tea. (which is expected from a four star hotel) The elevator is old and always full, really not suitable for an eleven floor building.

Very good hotel top location right next to the bus direction airport and direction center Well soundproofed because we had seen the works … and that's fine, we slept very well despite that Only downside is breakfast or on arrival they force you to choose a time In case of change, you must call the night before. It's super annoying! Especially when you don't have a precise schedule We didn't respect the schedule every day and it's ok, we didn't fail :) Receptionists are top notch and always available

We have just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable week here. We had, of course, seen several very positive reviews here before booking, which had been encouraging, even although we always treat the most gushing praise with a degree of caution. Very well done Porto Mare Hotel - you more than lived up to the expectations the other reviewers had generated in us! What a marvellous hotel! We were fortunate to have a very pleasant top floor room which gave us excellent views of the delightful and very well-maintained gardens, the main pool and the sea beyond. We found the staff, without exception, to be very friendly, approachable and helpful - and, as many others have done before me, I do have to mention the breakfasts - just wow! The only slight disappointment for us was that the showers (yes, there were two different types - standard and 'rainwater' ) were above the bath, rather than having their own cubicle. However, that really did not detract from the overall experience of a wonderful stay. We will certainly be lookng to return to the Porto Mare on our next visit to Madeira. Thank you all.

What a wonderful hotel! Wow! the room was just perfect, we had an upper level room with sea view, it was fantastic. You could sit on the bed and all you saw was the sea.. Lovely service and staff in the hotel, breakfast was great, sat outside all week on the terrace watching the sun coming up eating breakfast, how lovely! The facilities in the hotel were spot on, the pool and surroundings were great, no worries about reserving sun beds, any time of the day there was always plenty of places to sit around the pool. We ate in the Italian one night and the food was very tasty. Recommend this! Walk straight from the hotel along the promenade in either direction. Such a great location. Approx. 45 min walk into Funchal. We had a spa treatment, well worth the money! Evening entertainment was pleasant, you could still talk whilst it was going on in the background. Recommend this hotel!

Hotel Quinta Da Penha De Franca is within it's own complex and is up the hill from its sister hotel Quinta Penha de Franca Mar. You can use the facilities within Quinta Penha de Franca Mar as well. Both are linked together by means of a private bridge which goes over the road, this is pretty seamless, but you do have to go out the door of the De Franca and buzz back in, but too much of an issue. Quinta Da Penha De Franca is set within gardens and has a heated pool which can be used, complimentary pool towels provided. You can also use the pool at Franca Mar which is unheated, but was still warm enough, and is salt water, from here you also have direct private access to the sea. Rooms are of a good size, I would recommend staying in the main complex rooms. There are around 4 rooms which are around Rooms 40-44 which are separate from the main complex, that can be nice, but note the Irish Bar is just over the wall, so can be a little noisy at times. Rooms were clean, air conditioning good, TV and mini bar, which if you want to indulge was good value. Beds were big, and very comfy which helped for a good nights sleep. Room Service is also available, though oddly no complimentary tea & coffee provided in the room, which I would expect in a four star. The location is excellent, on the edge of the hotel area means a short walk into town, and short walk to other restaurants and bars in the hotel district so a real positive. Parking is also very good, they have a large free to use carpark, so brilliant if you are planning to hire a car to explore the island like we did, we had no issues parking. Breakfast was also very good, a mix of continental, Portuguese and cooked buffet options. Service was friendly and overall a very enjoyable stay was had.

Loved every minute. From the staff on reception, housekeeping, cleaning to restaurant staff - so smiley and friendly. Central to lido area. 15 minutes walk into town. Exceptional breakfast choice and all delicious. Omelettes were incredible. Spotless, comfy rooms and public areas. Loved our sea view room and email to say they would do their best to honour my request of a high floor - they did. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!!

The hotel is right by the sea, next to the CR7 museum. There are a lot of Ronaldo elements in the hotel, and the fans have perfect punch cards. The first day to the hotel to provide the Welcome drink is quite delicious, the CR7 corner downstairs tastes good.

We arrived on the 15th of December for a 2 week break on half board basis. Food was great, we ate in the a la carte most nights and breakfast was taken in the round restaurant on the 5th floor overlooking the sea. It was fantastic eating breakfast in the sun! We have been to Madeira a few times around Xmas but never actually for Christmas day and beyond. The hotel made the whole festive experience really traditional with the most amazing choir performing in the evening and a beautiful candle light dinner for Christmas eve and buffet for xmas day! The hotel is really charming and in a brilliant position for funchal or the forum, both are about 20/30 easy walk.The supermarket is across the road and really handy and there are a good few restaurants within short walking distance too. There is direct sea access just a few steps away from the pool and you can always get a sunlounger as there was nobody reserving them. The hotel is going under renovation and will hopefully still retain it's charm but with a nice fresh, modern twist? Our room was absolutely fine with comfy beds lot's of pillows and pool/bath towels replaced regularly. Our balcony was a good size with stunning views of the sea. Everything was taken care of and nothing was a problem! The staff are probably some of the nicest, most accommodating that we have met in all of the hotels we have stayed in and always greeted us with a friendly, smiling face and had time for a quick chat. Our maid was super helpful and left our room spotlessly clean.Pestana you have some fantastic, hard working staff at the palms! I would absolutely return anytime not just over the Christmas period to this hotel. Keep doing what you are doing. Hope to visit again when the renovations are complete. Obrigado
