Nice setting, about 40 minutes to walk into middle of Funchal and a 6.50 euro taxi fare. Excellent food, pools and gardens.

Nice place

The gardens shared by the three properties was amazing. Was able to walk to downtown Funchal from the hotel and the Lido bathing complex was located behind the property.

It was an ok hotel for the price they charged, room service to clean the rooms was not very good. Won’t come here again.

Beautiful gardens with plenty of sitting out space plus quiet corners. Great sea views, fabulous pools and choice of restaurants. would definitely stay again.

Great facility. Outstanding staff

Great place to stay while in Funchal. Comfortable rooms, great pools and other amenities. AC didn’t work properly the first night, but was repaired promptly the next morning. There was occasional loud music late at night, emanating from neighboring properties. Staff was kind and responsive. Good experience as a whole.

Fabulous place for a relaxing holiday!

Very nice and well maintained. We had some noise problems: the rooms were above the bar that has live performers every evening, keeping the kids awake (they were no vacant rooms to change), one day they decided to make a hole in the wall near the room with a sledge hammer for a few hours… I would expect at least some compensation for that, but nothing

Loved this place! Beautiful resort in a great location. I would definitely recommend and go again. In fact, I loved it so much I looked for other locations as well.

Very good serice and very nice rooms

Very good hôtel, Nice situation

Excellent place, though reception staff can be abrupt, and policies (charging for table tennis) seemed a bit mean spirited

We love it at The Porto Mare Hotel staff are very friendly, rooms & service excellent, breakfast good & lounge area in the evening is good with live entertainment. Our 4th stay at this hotel

Pool and gardens were amazing

Wonderful!!’

Very enjoyable stay

Excellent hotel and good service from the staff

The food was excellent. The location was great with access to much of the islands through tours.

Overall, the property is nice and very well kept in many respects. The gardens are outstanding. The evening entertainment tended to be tacky covers of popular music from the 70's and 80's. It would be much better for me to have local artists performing their own music. Several things in our room needed tending to, but with persistence, the staff did take care of them.The staff were very respectful and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The pools beautiful. We found a public access to the ocean just below the property on our last day. It would have been great if the staff had thoroughly introduced us to the area. We only know about the Lido for which we had to pay. Overall, a very good experience once we got the kinks worked out in our room.

Exceptional hotel. Beautiful grounds, rooms facilities. Highly recommended for all ages

Great 4 star resort but 5 star standard! One of the best in Madeira!

We stayed for a week. Cecilia at reception was brilliant but several other front desk staff were aloof and you felt like you were bothering them when asking anything. Their knowledge seemed limited. As there was no concierge, the front desk staff should be able to give you good offsite restaurant recommendations and directions. Rooms are a decent size but the really need modernising as they are very dark. There are many bad design elements such as the lack of plugs and location of the existing ones. Cleaning was poor- our mirrors had the same smudges all week. The floor was also definitely not cleaned. It made us wonder if anything else was getting cleaned like table surfaces. The dinner buffet was ok, but the breakfast buffet got very boring by day 3. They really should mix it up more. The service at the restaurant and bar was pretty poor. A couple of the team were great but many were either rude or a bit chaotic (eg never replacing cutlery, dropping plates etc.). I imagine they are worked very hard and maybe not compensated well, so can’t really blame them. The hotel stopped doing a free transfer to town “due to covid” but as things have dramatically picked up, they really should reinstate it as the walk took us 40 minutes one way and we’re young and fit. Overall, it could be much much better if they implemented more customer service training and updated the rooms so they aren’t so brown and dark.

Everything about the hotel was excellent.We loved the room ,the view ,the atmosphere .The reception staff were very friendly and helpful .We had half board and the buffet choice was great and restaurent staff were attentive .Great Location to with bus stop right outside !

Outstanding property.

Great location and service

Fully met my expectations. Outstanding property with an experienced staff.

We loved the Porto Mare. Being part of a three-hotel group on the same plot means guests have a large choice of facilities and restaurants. The gardens are delightful - full of palm trees and many flowers. There are lots of loungers throughout the garden as well as round the pool. I imagine it could get busy in the summer season. Breakfasts and buffet suppers in the Atlantic restaurant were excellent. All the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the spa area and indoor pool. The outdoor pool was a bit chilly for us (February). We can’t wait to return.

We had a wonderful and relaxing 10 day stay in the hotel in February 2022. We found the hotel to be clean and the staff efficient and helpful. The pool and garden area is lovely and well maintained with plenty of areas to sun bathe. The breakfasts were very good with a wide range of choices.

We loved our stay in Porto Mare. Beautifully maintained property. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The quality and presentation of food and drinks are superb. Overall an excellent hotel. We received a courtesy bottle of champagne and a bouquet of flowers on our anniversary.
