Lock in a great price for Hotel Porto Mare - PortoBay – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Generally it was a very relaxing time with good facilities. Good transport arrangements to the city centre.

Elwyn, United Kingdom

It was an excellent location both away from the town centre, but easily accessible by a short walk. There was an excellent choice of different cuisines onsite. Although it isn’t an adult only resort and children were staying they were well behaved. Breakfast choices were first class and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Everywhere from the outside pool areas to the restaurants and rooms were extremely clean. A first class holiday.

Christine, United Kingdom

I liked everything A to Z in this hotel. Great facilities, very friendly and helpful stuff, pools, food, etc. Will definitely return and can recommend anybody staying in Funchal to consider this hotel

Hrayr, United Kingdom

Incredible peaceful hotel with huge beautiful botanical garden, 2 exterior swimming pools (+ 1 for kids) with lots of sun beds, 1 indoor pool, 3 restaurants, spa center. Very professional, polite and kind staff. Tried two of their restaurants, Alfama (highly recommended! food is good and sometimes they have Fado concerts) and Il Basilico, both very good, prices are more or less the same as for the restaurants near the hotel. The hotel provides free bus to Funchal city center several times a day (don't forget to reserve!). Spacious, clean room, with huge comfortable bed. We had a problem with ventilation and it was solved immediately. Good selection for breakfast, a pity they don't have fresh orange juice. Location - approx. 2 km from the city center, you can walk or take the free bus, taxis are also available. We were really impressed with this hotel and its wonderful staff. We spent 10 days there and enjoyed every minute.

Breakfast buffet was amazing as was the swimming pool and spa.

Janet, United Kingdom

The bed was super comfortable. The breakfast was very good

Dietmar, South Africa

Nice rooms with comfortable bed and views. Indoor pool and spa so good if not hot enough for outdoors. Good breakfast selection. Bars offer evening entertainment and very reasonably priced drinks and yet rooms are quiet . Bus stop outside hotel so can easily get the airport shuttle bus 10 euros each way . Also local buses stop there and they offer a free shuttle to Funchal centre.

Philip, United Kingdom

Very nice hotel complex. Great spa and swimming pools. I had to wait one hour for my room and they upgraded me intermediately to a junior suite, which was very nice, spacious, comfortable and with nice view to sea. Breakfast and service was 5 stars.

눉The male receptionist at check in was not very helpful or friendly. All others during our stay were fine. We had asked for a sea view room, a view which we had from the balcony, but it was overlooking the side road which was very, very noisy so that we couldn't have the windows open overnight.
눇Generally it was a very relaxing time with good facilities. Good transport arrangements to the city centre.

“A reviving and comfortable holiday with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Twin Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 6 nights
눉Having worked in the hotel industry in London before, we were surprised over the lack of security! Maybe nothing bad has happened yet, but it may be only a matter of time. There is no doorman, anyone can come and go, the maids work in rooms with doors open (and do they know all their guests?) and restaurants accept your room number verbally. There are safes in the rooms, which you have to pay to use. They are free to use in most hotels, and this may induce customers to take chances. I wonder if the hotel even has a security department? The Madeirans may be very honest, but it is their foreign customers they need to take caution with!
눇The beds were comfortable and the room had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting in the beautiful gardens. Breakfast was plentiful and good. We ate in all the restaurants in the complex and they were also good. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
