Perfect stay

Perfekt stay - very friendly staff and very clean and functional apartment. We are definitely coming back next time we visit Funchal.
Stine, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a really nice view from our room of the beach below. The room was spacious and very clean. For me the bed was not very comfortable as I am a side sleeper and the mattress was fairly hard. It wasn’t really close to old town, so we had to get transportation back and forth.
Ronald, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Travelled with toddler and the property is vast and has lots of things to do to keep them entertained. Good for families and close to the seafront.

10/10 Exceptional

We had a nice stay here. Food was good and fresh and cooking personell very friendly. The rooms were also nice and clean. The service at the restaurant and reception could be improved however.
Marc-Kevin, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable, quiet, and clean with excellent staff. However, a bit remote from the centre of town, particularly now that they have ceased their in-house shuttle service.

10/10 Exceptional

Immaculately kept residence in a very good area with excellent transport links into Funchal centre. Very friendly and helpful staff and the rooms are very comfortable, spacious and have great views. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and delicious and the waiting staff were helpful and pleasant and the main pool and pool areas were spacious with plenty of sun beds available. Very enjoyable stay and we would love to return one day in the near future.
Steven, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our return to Madeira was well worth the wait.

It was excellent. The location, staff friendliness and efficiency was of the higher order. The buffet breakfast and dinner was fantastic the like of which we have not seen before.
R A, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great, but beware of ants

Great place. Two problems with our room: 1. It was at the farthest possible point from elevators/reception so didn’t enjoy entering and exiting with young children and luggage. 2. Ants! There are a LOT of them in the room. Don’t leave any food unopened anywhere.

A great place to stay

The hotel and pool areas were exceptional. The breakfast offered a wide choice and the seating areas were delightful. The staff were We were upgraded to an apartment for our stay and although the accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the room was dark and the balcony was opposite a road which could be noisy at times. Having said that, I would still recommend this hotel as a great place to stay but in our experience the accommodation upgrade was at the expense of the location of the room.
Julie, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent and relaxing.

With the "bang for the bucks" place to stay at, we can only recommend you to stay at the Residence. Accommodations, pool area as well as the restaurants are excellent. Family with kids will have a nice week by the poolside, but dont expect kids playground/activities. Evening entertainment feelt old and dated for us (mid 40s of age), possibly aimed for the +65. We surely will be back at this premises again soon.
Stefan, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful, beautiful hotel, lovely gardens and facilities. Room was well equipped with everything we could need including spare towels for pool/spa. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a room facing the road which was noisy but it was changed with no fuss to quiet inward facing. Fantastic choice and quality of breakfast. Half hour walk into Funchal which we preferred to irregular bus service. Large supermarket close by if needed.
Janet, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My husband and I had a great stay at The Residence. The breakfast buffet was vast and delicious. The property is beautiful to walk around. Although you cannot access the ocean from the property, the views are amazing and you can easily access the water nearby. Lots of beautiful walking areas nearby as well as restaurants. The hotel pools were lovely as were the restaurants and free entertainment. The staff was helpful and the facility was immaculate. Our room had a beautiful room, was clean and comfortable amd had amazing water pressure. We would definitely return.
Kelly Ann, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Everything was great but in our room was very loud at night. We prefer to go to sleep not late to wake up before sunrise. It was impossible to sleep before midnight. I believe there should be a choice of rooms in terms of noise level preferably at arrival. Otherwise it was great.
Gala, 4-night trip

Femte gang på Porto Mare. Residence er rigtigt flot og har meget høje standarder. Meget hjælpsomt personale. Vi måtte rejse hjem før tid, vi fik fuld refund fra hotellet. Meget imødekommende og professionelt. Kan varmt anbefale stedet. Vi kommer tilbage.
