Superb hotel in Madeira
Wow! What a fantastic hotel. This is the third time of visiting Madeira, but this was our first stay at this hotel. We can’t praise and thank the hotel enough for what was an amazing visit. Nothing was too much trouble and staff were super friendly and attentive. Our boys had a side sea view room which was fantastic with great views still, and we upgraded to a full sea view room, which was simply stunning! What a spectacular view! The rooms were quiet, very comfortable and well maintained every day by the brilliant staff. One of us found the bed very hard, but after asking the reception staff for a mattress topper, this was fitted to our bed immediately. We used the gym most days which had plenty of equipment, and the pool was beautiful. There were plenty of sun beds, and there wasn’t one day out of our 11 nights where we couldn’t get beds by the pool, whatever time of the day we went there.
Breakfast was plentiful and varied. We found it better to sit inside to eat rather than outside because of the pigeons nearby, however the hotel do make use of a large bird of prey every morning throughout breakfast to keep the pigeons away as much as possible, which was a great idea and worked well. The location was fantastic for so many great restaurants in the area, and on a few occasions we walked into the centre of Funchal and the harbour area, which took approximately 30-40 minutes.
The hotel also do lots of offers which, whilst we didn’t use many as we like to walk out and eat each night, seemed great value. Offers included buffet nights, restaurant offers and drinks vouchers.
As explained at the start, this was our third visit to Madeira, but when we come back, we will certainly look to stay here again as we found it perfect! Thank you to everyone at the Melia Madeira Mare. You are all fantastic!

Chill in the shade….
Very competent staff . Large rooms with good views. Decent breakfast included. Wouldn’t recommend dinner here. Nice beach area although it’s very rocky. Nice pool . Everyone speaks multiple languages so communication is easy.
Honeymoon
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. As soon as the hotel manager realized we were getting married, he prepared a lovely surprise for us in our room. We are grateful for his care and the excellent service.
Not 5 star
In my opinion not 5 star as stated. Hotel is very dated. Booked a superior room with sea view. Staff in general were quite unhelpful with the exception of Lenine. Limited staff members at bar area often resulting in quite a long wait for any service. Breakfast buffet was good but buffet evening meals lacked variety and quality. No atmosphere around pool area, no music or waiter service. Very limited evening entertainment. Awful and unhelpful check out service, no option of courtesy room for an evening flight.
Perfect
Booked the Royal suite for 9 days. Excellent hotel and staff were fantastic and very friendly. Food is wonderful. Had half board. Pools are excellent and the location is very convenient to evrything. I must recommend this hotel for anyone staying with families.
