Residencial Greco

My daughter and I spent an amazing week in Madeira and at the Greco hotel. The hotel is located right in the centre of Funchal, next to a Continente supermarket - very handy. About 10 min on foot from the Promenade, the beach and the bus stops. Our room was huge, spotlessly clean, quiet, with comfy beds and comfy bathroom. The breakfast was sufficient, with amazing coffee. The hotel boasts a really pleasant roof terrace - perfect for stargazing or just relaxing in the evening. A massive credit goes to the Staff - all very friendly, very helpful, always smiling and polite. I think this hotel has become our favourite in the Sé area of Funchal and we will definitely be back.

Lido Bathing Complex
After a 4 hour flight we were taken to this hotel which is about a 45 min stroll on the promenade to Funchal. There was a courtesy bus but not needed. Opposite the hotel is a mall with supermarket, clothes stores and eateries. The newsagent sells Giro cards for the buses. For €5 daily you can use the public transport for as many trips as you like. Simple load the card. You pay extra for the suburban ticket that takes you farther. In the opposite direction, again a 45-1 hour walk, you arrive at the fishing village. We caught a taxi from there up to the skywalk. We walked back down the many stepped corridors through the farms back to the centre. Our knees were wobbly by this time as the descent had taken about an hour. Enjoyed coffee and Bolas on the entire holiday. A ride up the mountain on cable car is well worth it with spectacular views of Funchal. Pick a clear day. The small cafe just near the toboggans provided pan pipe music and delicious cappuccinos as we enjoyed the vista and watched the men in pin*****e suits guiding the toboggans down the steep slopes. We returned by cable car. If its not busy, you can just wait for an empty car and hop in with just your crew. We enjoyed having it to ourselves. A visit to the Ronaldo museum was OK, a bit pricey for the entrance. They should have shown his best goals on a reel but nothing like that. Just saw trophies and pics. The botanical hardens were not in full bloom due to time of year but were pleasant to walk around. There is a museum there too with stuffed animals. A walk through the town is very pleasant. Live bands can be very entertaining on a Saturday afternoon. Hotel room was spacious replete with a mini kitchen,fridge, crockery and cookware. We had the garden view where it was quieter though I couldn't compare. Breakfast had great variety. Many lines. No complaints. The swimming pool was heated and there was a sauna too. Huge towels are provided. There is also an outdoor pool.
Hotel Girassol - Suite Hotel

Lido Bathing Complex
A wonderful pre Christmas trip to see the lights . This was our 5th visit to the Girassol and we had yet another fabulous time . The rooms are spotlessly clean and spacious with a sitting room and a proper bathroom , with a tub and shower. The hotel was well heated ( it gets very chilly in the evenings in December) the beds are comfortable with good linen, changed twice a week and decent towels , changed whenever you need them changing . Pool towels are provided. The food , served in the restaurant at breakfast and dinner time and by the pool at lunchtime is good quality, well cooked and hot. With a good selection of meat and fish as well as a vegetarian option. The staff are all lovely. In the evening you have a choice of two bars plus an outside terrace . The all inclusive drinks are a good range although I’m not too keen on the white wine ( the rose is much nicer ) . There are three pools outside , a large injected pool and a children’s pool next to it plus a heated adults only pool. The is also a very nice spa but you pay to use that. The hotel is set in well kept and pretty gardens , in a fantastic location near the famous Lido and beautiful promenade . The are plenty of cafes , bars and restaurants within a few minutes walk. It’s about 35 minutes easy amble into the centre of Funchal and we walked there most days and got the local bus back . It’s also a good idea to download the Bolt app as you can use their taxis wherever you are . It cost us €6.50 to go to Churchills Bay so they are much more affordable than the UK. Christmas in Funchal is magical so a visit in December is well worth it to see the Christmas market and stunning lights . The daytime temps are about 19c -22c but you will need a jacket and scarf for the evenings . There is an excellent hairdresser at the hotel too! We are already looking to go back for the 6th time in 2025.

This is a very good hotel and we would stay here again. WET AREA Indoor pool This is a great addition to the hotel and is kept at a perfect temperature with jets. It is semi-indoor so great on overcast days. Never too busy. The highlight of our stay. Outdoor pool Quite cool, but when complimented with the indoor pool, this is fine. It's a bit shallow but I imagine this is just how the hotel is built. Never too busy. Sunbeds More than enough, very comfy and clean. No need to reserve/scramble. Spa Massages available at a good price. Sauna and steam room free of charge, although the hotel doesn't advertise this very well. Snack bar Nice sandwiches, if a little overpriced. Could do with more variety of food. Great selection of drinks/cocktails as reasonable prices. Seems a bit silly that you can't pay by card. BREAKFAST A fantastic variety of tasty food; cooked, continental, cereals and pancakes. Lots of fresh fruit. We had one negative experience with a rude waiter; we were trying to take a banana and some bread each, as we knew we would be missing the breakfast (that we had paid for) the following day, due to an early hike. Before we could explain this, we were berated at length in front of half of the restaurant, even after apologising. This was unnecessarily embarrassing and marred our first day. Granted, we should have double checked the rules beforehand (we have stayed in places where this is allowed, in moderation), but, in our view, there was no need for such a public display. BUFFET We only had this once, but we felt that, for 30 euros, it was a bit underwhelming and drinks should have been included. STAFF Apart from the one exception above, we felt all the staff were a credit to the hotel, and very friendly and helpful. A special shout-out to Caterina and one barman's name whose name we regrettably didn't catch. LOCATION Buses to Funchal just outside. Close to supermarket and restaurants. Nice park and restaurant next door. ROOMS Very clean, spacious and good facilities. A bit dark at times. Good aircon. Free safe for valuables. TIPS - Rent a car with Auto Rent A Car - great service and friendly staff - Luggage room available free of charge - If hiking to Pico Ruivo, you really don't need a guide. The route is clear and is almost always busy. GetToHikes bus transfers are recommended and stop near the hotel.
Dorisol Mimosa Studio Hotel

Sao Martinho
We spent a week at the Mimosa hotel at the beginning of August. The Tui coach dropped us off at the bottom of the steep hill up to the hotel. Checking in was efficient and both lifts were working up to the 6th floor, although there was only one lift working during the rest of the week. The balcony had a table and 2 chairs and the views of the pool and sea were amazing. The apartment was basic with 2 single beds, but no air con or fans and there was some traffic noise from the road. There was a shower in the clean bathroom, but we had to climb into the bath to use it. Although the kitchenette had a microwave and minimal amount of plates and cutlery, it did not have a kettle or toaster. The apartment, however, included a TV, fridge and hairdryer. Breakfast was included and offered ample selections of cereals, fruit, cheese, ham, nuts, cooked breakfast and bread and cakes, although the cooked food could have been warmer. There was also coffee, tea or fruit juices available, with inside and outside seating an option. There was an outside swimming pool (cool) and a toddler pool with plenty of sun beds surrounding them – also an inside pool. There are tennis courts, a Jacuzzi, sauna, spa and gym. The food at the pool side was very good and the bar staff were both friendly and helpful. The apartment was cleaned most days by cheerful staff. There was some entertainment at the pool bar, which everyone seemed to enjoy. The rooftop bar has fabulous views, but doesn't seem to be used to its full potential. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, as well as local buses to explore the island and visit Funchal. Altogether this was a pleasant summer holiday for our family.
Suite Hotel Eden Mar - PortoBay

Lido Bathing Complex
Overall great stay and we'll likely be back next time we visit Madeira. Great location close to lots of restaurants and bars, and bus stops. It's not too far to walk to the city center and there's lots to see on the way there, too. The rooms were clean, shampoo etc. was provided and there were even extra blankets which we were very grateful for as it can be chilly at night. What we did not enjoy that much was the breakfast, as both restaurants serve about the same food and it was the same every morning. The taste was ok but we probably won't add breakfast the next time we stay, or not for all days. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, however, the hotel appeared to be understaffed, meaning we'd have to wait quite a bit to receive service, e.g., at the reception, and staff seemed stressed at times.
