Hotels near Madeira Airport

Pros: Adult only, great pool, wonderful room and awesome facilities.

Cons: I liked everything!

Pros: Nice pools & spa, very modern resort in scenic location, good variety at breakfast. Friendly staff.

Cons: Food in restaurant poor and portions were very small, air conditioning not working the room never cooled down despite it on all night. Beds not the best. Parking nearby can be difficult.

Pros: Very clean. Good facilities. Very nice breakfasts. Good location

Cons: Rather long walks from the room to the breakfast area. Closure of the desk for an hour over lunch.

Pros: The place is fully eco friendly, it prides on that and it does that well, the views and what it offers are truly incredible. Having breakfast with the sea right next to you is amazing, a nice selection too. Our room was okay although we got the wrong one, comes with an incredible large shower and a balcony. Definitely more for couples...

Cons: I was travelling with my best friend for our birthdays, I booked a twin room and also asked if they could surprise my friend with anything gave us a bottle of wine then said we had to pay (thankfully we didn't drink it), the room we got was just one bed and not two, which when I told the hotel they just said 'sorry it was a misunderstanding' and did nothing to correct it. The directions to most things were unhelpful also, a bit of a maze get to the breakfast and not clear rules what pool was for what.

Pros: The staff were absolutely amazing. The location was stunning and the food was delicious.

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: Loved the room, breakfast, gardens, staff, clubhouse, buildings, spa

Cons: Dinner not to my taste - am not fond of nouvelle cuisine.

Pros: Our only disappointment was not having an outdoor heated pool. It would be much better if the pool was situated perhaps on the croquet lawn.

Cons: See above.

Pros: Comfortable, very helpful staff. Even in bad weather the house and estate looked beautiful

Pros: wonderful gardens beautiful house in a traditional way. lovely walks across and around the property and golf course

Pros: Very nice staff, great service everyone was super friendly

Cons: The bathroom needs a renovation whereas my parents bathroom was already renovated so it will probably be a 10/10 very soon

Pros: Very good restaurant, both food and service were top notch. Golf course is well worth playing, challenging but not unreasonably so. All the staff at the hotel and the golf were friendly and knowledgeable.

Cons: Should have booked for two weeks, not one.

Pros: The restaurant is a little expensive and has a limited menu. More light options / bar snacks would be helpful. We received lots of emails regarding covid restrictions which had clearly changed by the time of our arrival - for example we were advised that breakfast buffet was not operating when in fact it was. Similarly, the shuttle service to Funchal was available even though we had been advised that it wasn't. With no information available in the rooms this was a little confusing and perhaps staff could be asked to update guests regarding arrangements upon check in.

Cons: Lovely hotel in a very peaceful setting. Beautiful gardens and excellent amenities; spa, pool, games etc. Lovely room with excellent breakfast. Shuttle to Funchal makes exploring the town effortless and there is good access to walks nearby. Friendly staff.

Pros: everything was more than 10.

Cons: see above. excellent staff.

Pros: The Villa was spacious and had beautiful views. We also liked being able to park our rental car right there.

Cons: The description said it had a washer and dryer, but there was none available to guests. Also, air conditioning for the Villa was an extra $100 per week and this was not conveyed when booking. Without the AC, the Villa smelled a bit musty.

Pros: Great apartment stunning views very well equipped.

Cons: Pillows not great. Quite a walk to pool. Car needed to tour the island but good parking facilities

Pros: internal spec of apartment was excellent. I loved Palheiro Gardens and Casa Velha Hotel.

Cons: I didn’t like the steep roads. it was difficult to get anywhere even with a shuttle bus.

Pros: Excellent views, very helpful staff and very comfortable accommodation.

Pros: quality build

Cons: property was almost on top of the old airport road and this traffic noise very noticeable so much so that we were unable to use the ‘sea / town view’ balcony we had paid extra for.

Pros: Location, breakfast on the terrace looking at the sea. Very convenient for a family of 4.

Cons: WiFi not reliable. None in the parental suite. Road noise in the morning and noisy fridge

Pros: well equipped and very comfortable with amazing sea views

Cons: our washing machine was broken - But this is minor given how excellent everything else was

Pros: everything was outstanding, the apartment was very comfortable and the view was incredible.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Nice relaxing atmosphere and plenty of choice as to where you could sit and relax. Very clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. 3 daily coaches to Funchal free of charge. We had a huge bed and black out blinds ensured a great night sleep

Cons: Not a lot to dislike. Area is quite windy and we were told there are warmer parts of the island but that isn't the fault of the hotel. Location to airport is fantastic and a cheap taxi ride.

Pros: We had a fantastic stay! Beautiful view, lovely noise of the sea while sleeping, very very clean and beautiful shows! We will come back for sure!

Cons: Other people smoked at the balcony, we slept with our sliding door open.... that's quite an awful smell.

Pros: Nice room size and pool area

Cons: The food was not great. I am not a picky person but I am glad that I was only at the hotel for a few nights because the food was really not great.

Pros: The variety of choices for breakfast was excellent. It was great to have the heated outdoor pool. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. You could not fault the food or service staff at the evening meal. We also appreciated having the use of personal serving tongs (as a covid precaution) for use at the buffets. The desserts were very tempting and it was good that we were burning enough calories on our walks to allow us to sample them.

Cons: The entertainment in the evenings was not to our taste. The car parking spaces are a bit tight.

Pros: Very attentive, friendly staff.

Cons: Only English speaking T.V. Chanel was news.

Pros: May be a 4* hotel but definitely 5* service. All the staff were happy, responsive and helpful which made our stay even more pleasant. We didn’t want to leave. All inclusive food and drink was excellent value. Food was plentiful and a huge variety with lots of delicious seafood. Good quality wine and alcoholic beverages.

Cons: Some variation would be nice for breakfast. Although the pools were fantastic, a kids club would have been great to keep the children occupied.

Pros: Quality build and good food. Nice design all round.

Cons: The indoor pool was cold.

Pros: Everything is great. Amiable staff! The best way to enter the ocean is a little pier in front of the hotel, so you don't need to go to the beach. The lovely diving center and windsurfing rental on the beach, next to the hotel. Cozy SPA, with pool, hammam, and sauna. Many free parking spaces around the hotel, so it's totally fine for people with cars. Some shops in 5 minutes from the hotel.

Cons: Wifi is the only problem. It's pretty unstable.

Pros: wonderful friendly staff!

Cons: n/a

Pros: Fantastic views over the ocean from the room. Room was spacious and clean. Its a nice location, not too far from the airport. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Cons: When I decided to enjoy dinner in their restaurant, I almost got ran over by a stampede of (what appeared to be) passengers from a cruise ship, that were ready to attack the buffet. It’s a big hotel that apparantly is used for large groups/tour operators. The pictures of the Spa are somewhat deceiving. The indoor pool is very small.

Pros: spectacular views, great entertainment for kids, big and comfy rooms

Pros: Breakfasts delicious, diverse and versions for allergy sufferers (gluten free, lactose free). Heated pool water! Fantastic !!! The atmosphere was amazing.

Cons: Everything was amazing, but maybe during the peak of season could be too crowded, because the Hotel is a quite big

Pros: Restaurant has very good food. Facilities in the hotel were great. Seaview room was very nice and cooling. Mini kitchen was super important for us especially with a young child.

Pros: My stay at Deluxe Suite with Sea View was perfect. The room is comfortable, big enough, with excellent sea view, overlooking the pool area. The staff was very helpful. The breakfast and dinners are exceptionally good, not an ordinary "all-inclusive flavor type of food" but your rather feel as in a restaurant with delicious dishes, several choices of see-food and meet and freshly prepared and deliciously flavored starters. You can get a symbolic 3 EUR discount per day if you do not need your room to be cleaned every day and you do not need fresh towels every day. None of us do at home, so why should we request this in a hotel? I happily accepted and saved a very bit of planet resources and a bit of money to be spent for good wine at dinners. There is a nice promenade at the beach which is easily accessible from the hotel via a chip gate. You can sit and watch waves for hours. The beach is not really suitable for swimming for casual swimmers. Statutes of Jesus Crist (Cristo Rei) in walking distance (2,5 km) from the hotel. The rest of Madeira beauty easily accessible by a rented car. The rental can be arranged by the hotel for reasonable price and you can have it delivered to the hotel by the rental company for no extra fee. Couple small grocery stores are in a walking distance from the hotel. Taxi drive from the airport takes about 10 minutes.

Cons: I was staying in a room on the first floor right above the pool and the pool with its filtering system may seem to be rather noisy for sensitive people. It took me one day/night to get used to it. The drinks in the hotel are rather expensive compared to generally friendly pricing in Madeira. But I accept it because the location and service is worth it.

Pros: Excellent view, not Close to the centre of Funchal which for us was a bonus,

Cons: There is no coffe tea station in the room and this is what we didn't like,

Pros: great swimming pool

Cons: uncomfortable shower

Pros: Nice hotel in amazing place

Cons: Very basic breakfast for four star hotel , need to improve , if You want 10 points of 10 for hotel ratings. Cofe is not cofe, its drink with cofe taste.

Pros: - Very friendly staff - Very clean room every day - Fantastic view onto the ocean and Funchal - Good restaurant always open with friendly staff as well - Free parking

Cons: - Noisy (next to the road + thin walls) - Hotel is a bit in need of renovation

Pros: nice view

Cons: no way could you walk to and from the hotel as there were no foot paths and it was a winding road halfway up a mountain.

Pros: Lovely views over the Atlantic, Funchal and the sea port. Very good bus service. Excellent staff.

Cons: Unable to walk into Funchal as the road was too narrow and busy.

Pros: Great views, very clean property, good facilities, very comfortable bedroom and well equipped bathroom. bus stop right outside.

Cons: shower leaked, so mopping up reasonable amounts of water each day - impossible to stop it. bar wasn’t open and public areas lacked atmosphere at this time of year (early March). Quite a long walk to get to a restaurant or bar. outside of the hotel, area is rather scruffy

Pros: Bed was perfect. Breakfast was good. Staff is Gert friendly. The restaurant serves great food.

Cons: Bathroom was soaked after taking a shower

Pros: the gardens are marvellous and very well maintained

Cons: no real heating system in our two floors space, the ground-floor with the living and the kitchen had no heating at all, it was cold all the time, the bedroom in the upper floor had a radiator on wheels, the bathroom nothing. when we arrived all the space was cold, and outside was cold and raining. The two beds were separate, with separated linens, not comfortable for a couple. There is a safe in the room but not the keys, to get the key you are requested to pay an extra. also no parking included, there is an extra as well. the outside swimming pool is cold, they do not cover it in the night. these things are surprising for a place paid 250€ x night, 2 guests with no meal included.

Cons: Due to cancelled flight we have stayed just for 1 night. The room was uncomfortable at all. Perhaps it was modern and comfortable at 90´s but not in 2022. Even with electric heating there was enormous cold. Moreover the rate through booking.com was 63% higher than hotel rate. Unfortunately we have recognized too late, our mistake. However for the hotel rate 245€ per night without breakfast you can find pleanty of better hotels at Madeira.

Pros: Beautiful setting in a botanical garden, excellent food, and very attentive and friendly staff. The rooms are quiet, spacious, and very clean. A terrace with two sunbeds and a table with two chairs provides everything you need to enjoy the sunshine. The hotel is situated in the quiet centre of Caniço and very well connected. It is a 20-minute bus ride on line 155 to the Funchal central bus station (teleferico). The trip cost 2.20€ p.p. in March 2022.

Cons: Sauna, jacuzzi, and steam bath are available but unfortunately not private. You may only use them in a predefined sequence and for 30 minutes each. The facilities were okay but didn't enchant us. Still worth the 19€ fee.

Pros: Beautiful garden, not veriable but good breakfast. Quite calm and not noisy place. Location is great as for family with children. It's near playground and supermarket.

Cons: There wasn't microwave oven. The fridge was freezed. Very poor kitchen equipment.

Pros: I highly recommend Quinta Splendida to anyone who has just arrived on the island from their long flight or needs a place to stay prior to their return flight. The gardens are over 100 years old, have been faithfully nurtured and are absolutely beautiful ( to be honest, we found them more lush and varied than that of Reid's palace, where we spent one night also prior to flying home). This for 1/5th of the price of Reid's Palace.The other advantage of staying at Quinta Splendida is that it is a much shorter drive from the airport ( 5-7 minutes only) and , for us, it provided quick access to the most beautiful coastal hike on the island ( Machico to Verada do Larano via Boca do Risco path ). The staff work very hard and are extremely gracious and the food is perhaps more locally sourced and less touristy. There is also a wonderful bakery just outside the hotel's entrance. Our room overlooked a lush garden as did every other room. The settings are varied ( pool vs garden overlook, but there really are all equally attractive at this hotel, which is rare )

Cons: The bathrooms are basic ( think Hilton hotel basic ) and could perhaps be upgraded

Pros: Canico is a very quiet village. Not a lot of restaurants, bars or coffeehouses

Cons: The staff was so kind! Exactly everything about the apartment was perfect. It was clean, nice music performances, the food was nice and the bakery, supermarket and bus station where around the corner

Pros: The hotel was pretty full, but incredibly quiet. There is so much space on the grounds that you never feel clustered. Wonderful experience.

Pros: What really impressed me the most was the beautiful botanical garden that surrounded this hotel. I was amazed by the variety of plants and trees and was a pleasure to walk around the gardens. The room was massive and the view from the front was breathtaking. I also enjoyed breakfast were I had the chance to taste delicious cakes. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing which made my stay memorable.

Cons: That I didn't stay longer.

Pros: We liked everything, and will definitely come back

Pros: The property is beautiful - the gardens are delightful and well maintained, the outdoor pool is crystal clear, warm and appealing, the ocean level pool and swimming were absolutely stunning!

Cons: The hotel was recently renovated, but without any consideration to the acoustics - bottom line, the hotel was very quiet during the day and extremely noisy at night. The rooms are hard floored and tiled so every footstep, every flush of a toilet and every scrape of a chair or bed being moved in any room in the hotel echoes as if the people were next to you in your room. They did not replace the doors and there is a big gap between the bottom of the door and the floor, so every hallway conversation is in your room. Starting at 10pm it was an absolute torture to try and sleep. And the morning routine was also very noisy with elevator music being played everywhere starting at 730am. Avoid this hotel if you need your sleep. They seem to cater to busloads of tour groups, which is why the hotel is so quiet during the day.

Pros: The hotel was exceptionally clean. The views were amazing. Breakfast was good, but didn’t vary much from day to day. Gym was well equipped and indoor pool was great if the weather was bad.

Cons: Our room was not as the photo suggested. It was described as sea view. We could see the sea but the image shown was the rooms in the main building which got the sun all day. By 10am our room was very dark, it would have been nice to sit on the balcony in the sun, but our balcony was too cold.

Pros: Great breakfast, great views, nice staff, attentive staff, accommodating staff, spoke great English.

Cons: Comfort of bed could have been better, no hand soap for bathroom/bar soap, no small wash cloths, adventure company staff (female with curly hair) was super rude. Walk to the beach was closed off with concrete construction occurring.

Pros: It's right by the sea, has good facilities and great selection of breakfast inside hotel. Good enough restaurants around, plenty choice

Cons: A bit wierd of layout. Not great in public transportation. Have to book in advance to use facilities such as pool and sauna, but no one opened the sauna

Pros: 1. Staff was very accommodating and tried hard to help. I needed a quiet room for a call, which was provided. 2. Nice sea view and promenade for a walk by the sea

Cons: 1. WiFi is terrible, it is impossible to work with such a poor connection, even less have a conference call 2. Hotel is structured as a mase, numerous floors and change of elevators in order to reach a desired destination. 3. Restaurant, Sauna, SPA and pool by the sea, are actually part of another hotel. You have full access, however mind a 5min walk. 4. Breakfast nothing special, you would be better off with a local bakery.

Pros: Basically very dedicated stuff. Good wellness and spa offers.

Cons: At the time of visit the hotel was undergoing rennovation. No signs or any information to point you towards the right reception. The rooms are a bit old - fine/clean but everything looks a bit old. I had a strange experience with the staff during my stay. On my birthday I received a congratulation card which is a nice thought. The actual gift was - I quote "drink all the prosecco you want" - at 7 am in the morning. Not my idea of starting the day...

Pros: Breakfast was amazing with variety of food. Indoor pool is great.

Cons: There were some constrution work in the hotel and reception was closed, it would be nice to receive this information in advance. Not enough parking place-I was parking far away from the hotel. Indoor pool is not in the same building as hotel room.

Pros: Our review is for Sentido Galomar where we moved to from Galosol which is in a same group. We received an email about the ongoing renovation works in the morning of the check in. The majority of the hotel is being renovated and our room was in the outbuilding which we didn’t like, the room was dark and smelly. So we asked to be moved to Galomar and the staff very kindly assisted us. Galomar is a fairly new hotel with amazing facilities, very nice buffet breakfast in Atlantis restaurant, roof top terrace, outdoor swimming pool with sea water. We very much enjoyed the saunas and Ayurvedic massages.

Cons: The ongoing renovation works should be communicated well in advance.

Pros: The 8/10 goes to the tasty food and restaurant team. Great job by the housekeeping in keeping everything clean. Nice sea acccess through galomar although a bit distant.

Cons: The room was very old fashioned and extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom was awful with the ventilation being done through a window overlooking the main corridor. The mattress offered no support, so we woke up with back pain every day. The housekeeper was very kind and even brought a cover for the bed but to no avail. Unhelpful lady at the reception of the ayurvedic centre. We went to Galomar Spa instead, as their reception team was more professional and welcoming. In short, we felt like staying at the low cost version of Galomar, where they rely on the sea view to charge €165/night. If it was just for the room this rating would have been very different...

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

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The view

Cons: Poor breakfast

Pros: Very good location and friendly personnel.

Pros: The apartment was large, with kitchenette, lounge and separate bedroom upstairs and two terraces. They kindly provided breakfast in the fridge as we were leaving early, and a welcome drink.

Cons: The apartment had some dodgy furnishings and holes in the wall, and dated decor. The dinner at the restaurant was pricey and quite poor - our 'bread and olives' arrived at the same time as our mains, even though we didn't order it, and the beef was chewy and overcooked. For 16.50E per main, it was quite poor value. The breakfast provided was thoughtful but sparse - a couple of slices of ham, 1 cheese slice, 3 small buns and 1 croissant for 2 people.

Cons: Booked the room with sea view and thus paid a bit more, and the view was good, but we were given a room inside one of the "not recently renovated" part of the Hotel. But still good.

Pros: The beds. The splendid breakfast.

Cons: The Wing we stayed in with sea view needs renovation.

Pros: The location is nice and calm with small local shopping and restaurants nearby, and within short time by bus to Funchal with further opportunities and further transportation possibilities. Access to sea and pool with sea water. Nearly all of the staff are most friendly and helpful.

Cons: The evening bartender was a bit arrogant and a waiter was not accommodating on request for lunch to go, although it was seen that others were receiving this.

Pros: Location was good, close to the airport. Check in and check out processes were smooth.

Cons: The hotel room and bathroom are dated and rundown. We just needed to spend one night after arriving on a late flight and that was enough, but I would not stay in this hotel for longer.

Pros: rooms
