Hotels near Madeira Airport

Pros: View from the room was awesome and view from all part of the hotel was amazing. Breakfast is good and Atlantis and capoeira bar are also awesome ! SPA is clean and peacefull with a small cat who comes for hugs. All this week was perfect !

Cons: nothing. only bad feeling about someone who walked in heels, but that's not the hotel's responsibility.

Pros: I really liked everything: the location, the hotel itself, the facilities, the friendliness of the staff, the food, etc

Pros: Gorgeous room with lovely view. Very comfy bed. Good choice of English speaking TV channels. Good breakfast with selection of hot and cold food, a few cakes and even some sparkling wine which I noticed some guests took. There were quite a few solo travellers who seemed very comfortable with all aspects of the hotel including evening meals and a drink at the bar. No need to leave the hotel complex if you didn't want to. Snacks in the lounge bar are good.

Cons: Outdoor pool is freezing in January but guests can use heated indoor pool at Hotel Galo Sol just up the hill. Most of the hotel is non smoking including pool area and room balcony. No drinks facilities at the pool area. A bit of a walk from your room to dining room and bar. We had dinner at Atlantic restaurant a few times but were not impressed with the food. There was a limited choice if you did not like fish.

Pros: The location of the hotel is just unbeatable. The view is just magnificent. Especially the spa has the best view from all the spas I have been. It's naked mix, which is a bit wired for me, but okay, compensate with the wonderful view. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very good structured and super clean. A great stay!

Cons: The public transportation in Madeira is just generally bad. There is one bus stop close by and one bus going to Funchal. The bus drives every hour or almost every two hours on weekend. Therefore, if you don’t have a car, but would like to have some little trips to go around or just going out in the evening in the city, it will be quite difficult. Either plan well according to the bus schedule or take a taxi which I have the feeling costs more than mainland Portugal. So hire a car will be recommended, although driving in Madeira might be challenging.

Pros: Staff was excellent, always ready to help. Hotel had pretty much everything; nice location by the sea, own ”beach”, many restaurants, a lounge bar, great gym, indoor and outdoor pools to start with. We loved our stay and would have stayed longer.

Cons: If you have a car the location is great, as it is very beautiful by the sea. if you don’t maybe the location is a bit far. On the other hand This hotel has pretty much everything you need for a holiday!

Pros: Wonderful location right on top of the cliffs. Brand new hotel with friendly staff. Different pool areas and a very nice spa.

Cons: When I booked a room with sea view, my expectation was to get a front view of the ocean and not a side view. When I asked about it I was confirmed that the room we got is a sea view room. Also the room was very small (approx. 18 sqm with bathroom)

Pros: Great architecture solutions. The breakfast was very good, the views wonderful, the staff very kind.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Wonderful views from the park of the hotel over the town of Funchal. A peaceful paradise on the hilltop! Very helpful staff.

Cons: Not possible to walk into town...distance is too great. Shuttle service offered but not enough departure and return times proposed.

Pros: Gardens, Spa, Lounge Views

Cons: A bit off the track. Restaurant pricy.

Pros: Although 20 minutes away by taxi from Funchal it was worth it for the wonderful location overlooking the city and surrounded by fabulous gardens and golf course. Very nice staff.

Cons: Bedrooms were noisy in the mornings as staff were moving around early.

Pros: The manor house is in a bucolic setting and impeccably maintained. Our room Number 1 was very comfortable. We signed up for bed and breakfast and the breakfasts were very good as were the dinners. The staff was always very friendly and polite.

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Excellent choice of food

Cons: N/A

Pros: Casa Velha is a secluded country house hotel, set high above Funchal, with extensive, beautiful grounds and golf course. A garden lover's paradise with free access to the famous Palheiro gardens. The accommodation is charming, as is the service. The restaurant's cuisine and ambience are very good too.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: The hotel is in a magical location with splendid gardens. It is like staying in an English country house.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Location and charme, that makes this hotel really unique. Staff is very helpfull and warm, overall wonderful. The breakfast, afternoon thee or a romantic diner; you absolutely must do this in the garden. Where you can feel totally relaxed and cocooned for the otherwise busy and vibrant fuchal.

Cons: Please adjust the airco’s, its a shame to keep them going for the full day, to cool the room. They require a 4hour run to cool a 30m2 room. We recieved two 1-pers beds, placed together. It’s not that comfortable to sleep together that way. But the bed was from good quality as you can expect from a 5star hotel.

Pros: I loved everything about this hotel. The staff every single one were extremely polite, & happy to look after you. It was a little cold when I arrived , this was not a problem at this hotel , they put the heating up & also supplied mobile heaters. Perfect. The food is of a very hood standard. The gardens are tropical , & truly fantastic. I will return & highly recommend this Beatriz hotel. Thank you all for making my stay perfect.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very nice hotel with big rooms equiped with kitchen. Stunning gardens around. It is a place to stay there all the time. Clean swimming pool, good restaurants and very nice, warm and helpful staff. Located 10 mins away from Funchal and the airport. Easy to reach the west, east and north of the island from there. We will repeat as soon as possible.

Cons: Leaving

Pros: I stayed in a suite with spa access and it was just wonderful. The ambience of the place, the beautiful garden surroundings, the friendly staff, the spa all made it very special. And the suite itself was luxurious and spacious with a lovely sea view. Overall, a beautiful place for a retreat.

Cons: The only thing I would want to see improved would be more fitness sessions available with better equipment such as yoga mats - the ones they have are not great.

Pros: The location in the centre of Canico was excellent. The hire car parking was inside and the ground floor apartment was very suitable for our use of a folding mobility scooter. We particularly liked the botanical garden tour which has over 1,000 species of trees, plants and shrubs from around the world. Having stayed here previously some 15 years ago, it was nice to see the additional apartments, large patio areas now completed with a perfect vista out to sea.

Cons: The apartment was spacious, well laid out, with full kitchen facilities, kitchen appliances, oven and hob (if required) to be self sufficient but one thing missing was a microwave cooker.

Pros: The concept of wellness and botanical garden. Location. Staff. Views.

Cons: TV should include national channels.

Pros: The hotel is a paradise on Earth. The garden is a very beautiful place

Pros: The gardens were really beautiful.

Cons: It would have been have use of the indoor pool later in the evening It closed at 7pm.

Pros: View Size of the appartement

Cons: Street noise is bad if your appartement is on the first row of houses, right on top of the street Broken washing machine

Pros: Fantastic view from the balcony of our 1 bed apartment. Delightful staff. Really enjoyed access to the golf club terrace bar for sunset views. The Palheiro gardens are beautiful.

Cons: Unfortunately the road noise below the apartment is quite loud and takes getting used to.

Pros: Huge villa, well equipped with everything you need except there was no good coffee machine like nespresso. The garden is nice and the terrace is lovely for breakfast and diner. Beautiful view on the sea and Funchal. The maintenance is excellent, it looked like new. The cleaning is OK, some the bed-sheets had black stains from some machine oil I guess. If you are not on the main road but inside the compound, it's very quiet and relaxing. The pool in the village forum is heated and not crowed in early July, we were almost alone most of the time, excellent to relax after a good walk. We were sad to leave!

Cons: May be better cleaning, but it's not a big deal, it was clean. Bad smell in the closets because of humidity, but I'm not sure they can do much about it. Again not a big deal.

Pros: The accommodations were wonderful! A beautiful 2bdr/2 bath apartment with an ocean view from both bedrooms, the living room and large balcony. Very nice pool, too. We didn’t want to leave!

Cons: Please include instructions for the washing machine! We had to google the brand name to figure out how to start it!

Pros: Spacious villa and clean interior.

Cons: There were ants inside the villa. Although there weren’t many there were some in the bed etc which was annoying.

Pros: We had the same location like last year except upper apartment. Excellent location for New Years Eve fireworks and fabulous view of Funchal and ocean. Very quiet location.

Cons: The property had everything we wanted. We had free parking for our rental car. All good.

Pros: The location was excellent for the view. It was good for transport the bus was always on time. It is better to have a car if you don't like climbing. We were happy that the villa that we had was very near to the swimming pool so we could use it very often and that the water was so warm. It is a lovely quiet setting better than in the tourist part.

Cons: We didn't like the climb to the villa when using the bus as we didn't hire a car because the roads are quite steep..

Pros: Great breakfast as well as dinners. Helpful and always friendly staff. Interesting entertainment, for example traditional dance and songs night. Perfect and relaxing ocean view from the room balcony. Parking for free.

Cons: The wifi connection in 5th floor rooms could be stronger.

Pros: Excellent choice on the breakfast buffet. Free parking lots right outside the hotel available. Excellent dinner recommendation: The Restaurante Praia Dos Reis Magos (3 min walking distance along the beach). They serve excellent dishes! We went there every single day.

Cons: We had a room with sea view and quite close to the ocean (room no. 024). However, if you leave the window front open, you hear the swell of the sea extremely loud, esp. at night. If you are a light sleeper, definteley a point to consider. The air condition in the room didn’t work properly either, so had to deal with a lot of heat during daytime since the sun shone directly to the room all day long. Impossible to stay in the room during morning hours, the noise level produced by the cleaning ladies moving around chairs, tables and beds in the neighbouring rooms is unbelieveable. In booking.com the room was detailed to have a mini-bar, but actually available was a small, empty refrigerator, connected and put to “full power” not rendering any coolness at all. I also found the huge sink lever (somehow we got a handicapped accessible room) as well as in the shower quite disturbing while doing toiletry and showering. Last but not least, the ugly smell from the bathroom drains and toilet was making our stay even more uncomfortable. No ventilation in the bathroom either. We also expected a better coffee at the breakfast buffet for a 4-star hotel.

Pros: Great spacious room with a sea view; nice outdoor and indoor swimming pools; good sauna

Cons: The hotel could have more greenery in the corridors, more plants indoors

Pros: The breakfast buffet was really great (a pity the coffee was not up to standard). The complimentary bus into Funchal was a real treat and very much appreciated. We really enjoyed the swimming pool!

Cons: The bathroom was dated and the toilet placed in an awkward position right behind the door. The toiletries were from wall mounted dispensers which turned us off and we went out and bought shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. The air conditioning appeared not to work.

Pros: Very clean and well equipped.

Cons: No issues.

Pros: The hotel is quite nice, reception area and common spaces are lovely. We enjoyed the spa facilities which are free to use.

Cons: Breakfast was mediocre. Our biggest issue was that the air conditioning was broken in the entire hotel, and our thermostat was not working which we tried to tell them the night before the AC broke down. I went to reception to let them know that our AC was broken and was told there was nothing they could do until morning (fair) and was told to open a window (which is really a patio door). I then asked if they had any ear plugs as it was an extremely windy and loud night, to which I was told "this isn't a 5 star." Not a great start. Was also disappointed that you must pay to use the safe, which is absurd to me as it is used to protect your things from the hotel staff coming into the room, so it should not be 10 euros.

Pros: Indoor- und Outdoor Pool, Whirlpool, Fitness Studio

Cons: Much too expensive for the outer appearance and comfort of the hotel (e.g. compared to the Riu Hotel next door)

Pros: The breakfast was amazing and the staff really helpful! Even after our stay at the hotel we continued eating breakfast there while travelling on Madeira! The staff did a great job and helped us both with recommendations for local restaurants and sights!

Cons: Tiny detail that was annoying: The shower was a bit dirty and the shampoo holder fell down right when we arrived.

Pros: Amazing Room and fantastic view to the sea and Funchal bay!!

Cons: The breakfast could be improved! Variety and coffe should be better

Pros: Great facilities, warm personnel.

Cons: Slow Internet connection.

Pros: Excellent location great views.

Cons: Could done with coffee maker in room.

Pros: Everything was organized and clear. Room was clean and kept up well. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Big fan of the breakfast as well as the top floor terrace and pool. Depending on what room you have there is a great view on the city of Funchal and the sea next to it.

Cons: I really disliked how noisy the room was. I could hear everything outside and it became apparent the hotel is located right next to a pretty busy street. There were multiple dogs barking literally non-stop which kept me from sleeping properly. Other than that I would have liked to be able to do some things in the hotel room, like make tea. Instead of having to go to the restaurant/bar for everything.

Pros: Fantastic location. Exceptional cleanliness.

Cons: Its not complaint, just suggestion that heated swimming pool could turn this place into a paradise on earth. May be in future...:)

Pros: A wonderful place to detox and have yoga, amazing vegan food, beautiful treatments

Cons: Road noise

Pros: The location is amazing, super quiet, perfect for a relaxing holiday. The staff was very very nice, very attentive and committed to a great stay! Spacious rooms, fantastic treatments. Very good activities, facilities and comfort! I would definitely go back, simply amazing!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The hotel staff are kind and friendly and accommodated our request for a top floor room. The sea views from our room and from the relaxing room are fantastic. The beds were very comfortable and there is a pillow menu. As returning guests we were given a free bottle of water and a bowl of fruit on arrival which was a nice touch. The hotel also arranged for our transportation to and from the airport and the driver came in the Galo Resort mini bus to pick us up. Galo Resort also includes 2 sister hotels the Galomar and Galosol which we were able to visit and use their facilities. Upon arrival we booked evening meals for 7 nights and received a 30% discount. Evening meals are at the Hotel Galosol and are buffet style, several nights a week are themed ie. BBQ, Fish buffet, Portugese night. We thought the meals were excellent value and the food was varied and good quality. We also had breakfast here several mornings too. At the Hotel Galomar we used the infinity pool facility and the spa, where I had a luxury pedicure with Carla and my husband used the sauna and relaxing room/sun balcony. At the Galo hotels in Canico there were visitors from many countries but mostly German. Most staff can speak some English as well as German and Portugese. There is a diving school at the Lido, Hotel Galomar and my husband went snorkelling here at the underwater nature reserve. Be aware that it is the Atlantic Ocean and the water can be cold at times. The weather was perfect, not too hot about 24C with a cool breeze. There is an activity programme for the hotels ranging from Levada walking to Yoga and water colour painting and also evening entertainment at the bar in the Galomar. We had a lovely relaxing week here again and enjoyed our stay very much.

Cons: nothing

Pros: The location and room were simply great. It was very quiet and the atmosphere very relaxing.

Cons: I didn't like the Ayurveda food but I managed to have dinner at the sister hotel.

Pros: Adults only hotel is great. Everything was great.

Cons: For 250€ per night, could make free water in room. New year eve Gala dinner , was not that good enough as for 106€ per person. Restaurant was in Galo hotel , so old and non style.

Pros: first of all, the staff is super friendly and is looking to offer the best in service class. second of all, the property offers many options from restaurants choice and fitness free classes, swimming, sauna etc. the location is 15 min by car from Funchal, a location very close to the ocean and free parking. the breakfast is a very generous buffet. i will choose this place again. i do recommend the rooms with sea view.

Cons: the property is divided in a few buildings. some of the buildings do not have the same newer feeling as the main one. moreover, it could be uncomfortable to access the fitness center, swimming and sauna from the adjacent buildings

Pros: excellent breakfast, quite place, nice own beach.

Cons: fruit salad in the past had mango.

Pros: Hotel is in a quiet location but there is a supermarket there and a number of restaurants. There is no nightlife in that area but I understand that all of Madeira is a rather quiet place.

Pros: Location fantastic and staff great.

Pros: Best place for diving and snorkeling on the island from my point. Wonderful place to stay for quiet vacation.

Cons: Beach is closing too early - at 6 pm in October.

Pros: I liked the room and hotel pools surrounded by beautiful gardens

Cons: Gym and indoor poor layout - you have to go through gym gates in order to get to indoor pool. Sauna and steam rooms were used by fully naked guests that walked around nude everywhere in the area, nudity should be prohibited in family friendly hotels; Galosol is supposed to be family friendly and Galomar adults only
