What guests think

At Melia Madeira Mare, guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff and the seaside location with sweeping ocean views, while several note dated areas and that the overall feel and amenities fall short of a true five star.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with impressive sea views and balconies, though some guests mention firm beds, occasional A/C issues, and noise from evening entertainment or nearby venues. Facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and free parking, but the spa is often described as underwhelming or extra-cost, and parts of the property and bar hours feel dated or restrictive. Breakfast is frequently praised for variety, while dinner buffets receive mixed feedback for repetition and quality. A relaxed, comfortable stay with strong basics.

La chambre était impeccable et la vue incroyable le personnel aux petits soins sur cela rien à dire ..la piscine intérieure avec le spa est vraiment très agréable et calme et propre. le petit-déjeuner très bien beaucoup de choix salé sucré . ce qu'on a moins aimé c'est le buffet du soir avec toujours le même buffet d'entrées de salades, et comme dessert ou des fruits les mêmes qu'au petit déjeuner ou une multitude de gâteaux qui sont toujours les mêmes, il n'y a pas de yaourts et le pain c'était petit pain pas forcément très bons. il y a effectivement des repas à thème mais c'est assez redondant ,nous étions en demi-pension.. si vous voulez changer le repas du soir contre un repas du midi c'est faisable mais dans ce cas il faut prendre le repas au bar de la piscine ,et là on vous propose un menu obligatoire et notamment avec une source en entrée, ce qu'on a forcément pas envie puisqu'il fait très chaud. je déconseille de faire ce changement . si je reviens je prendrai uniquement les petits déjeuners ,beaucoup de restaurants autour de l'hôtel qui sont très bien et une belle balade le long de la mer très agréable

The hotel is excellent.Rooms were spacious, we had a superior Ocean View Room, and were very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is on a steep slope and overlooks the Ocean. Handy for the Lido (5 mins walk) but outdoor pool was clean and quite a big pool, with plenty of sunbeds on several levels for when the warmer weather arrives. We visited in January when it was still warm but pool not so important. It also has a nice indoor pool and a larger than usual gym for a hotel. The promenade at Funchal is a healthy walk away, between 40 mins to an hour depending on whether you take a direct route or not and how fit you are to cope with the many slopes in and around Madeira. However, there is a bus stop and a taxi rank within 3-4 mins walk. Taxis cost about 7 euros to Funchal. Hotel has a good breakfast buffet with plenty of options. Only ate in the hotel restaurant one night which was excellent and reasonably priced. The hotel were offering deals for those who wanted to stay on site for evening meals. However, there are many options for eating or a drink within a 10-15 minute walk. Plus many more the further towards Funchal centre you want to go.

This hotel charges for “Spa” they don’t really have a spa. They have a sauna and steam room with a few “hot tubs” which are not hot. There was no spa experience we were left alone. I went to get water and they didn’t have any cups by the dispenser. When I got to front desk and mentioned it to the lady at front desk her answer was “you can buy water at the bar” That type behavior is not what I expect at a five star hotel. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Das Frühstück ist gut und abwechslungsreich. Der Frühstücksraum ist allerdings sehr groß und es geht recht laut und geschäftig zu. Daher haben wir auch darauf verzichtet das Abendessen (Buffet) in Anspruch zu nehmen. In der Umgebung sind einige sehr schöne Restaurants und Kneipen gelegen.

I notified the front desk about the toilet flushing control & the noisy fan issues after my first night , I don't think anything were done. The fan was so noisy I couldn't get a good night sleep throughout my 4 nights. If I turned it off , then I could hear snoring from the next room & no air circulation in my room. The maid left a dirty towel on the hanger in the bathroom 🤔. I know it's not mine since the shape was different. I left the card for bed sheet change on the third day but nothing was changed. I need to catch an early morning flight the morning of my departure and ask for a cup of coffee @ 7a, but was told it would not be available til 7:30a. Couldn't accommodate for such a small request. First time I encountered for such service from hotels considered themselves as 4 stars and up.

The staff was very friendly and Tina, the manager, was especially nice and did her best to rectify any mistakes. Overall the atmosphere of the hotel property was great.

The hotel is excellent.Rooms were spacious, we had a superior Ocean View Room, and were very clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel is on a steep slope and overlooks the Ocean. Handy for the Lido (5 mins walk) but outdoor pool was clean and quite a big pool, with plenty of sunbeds on several levels for when the warmer weather arrives. We visited in January when it was still warm but pool not so important. It also has a nice indoor pool and a larger than usual gym for a hotel. The promenade at Funchal is a healthy walk away, between 40 mins to an hour depending on whether you take a direct route or not and how fit you are to cope with the many slopes in and around Madeira. However, there is a bus stop and a taxi rank within 3-4 mins walk. Taxis cost about 7 euros to Funchal. Hotel has a good breakfast buffet with plenty of options. Only ate in the hotel restaurant one night which was excellent and reasonably priced. The hotel were offering deals for those who wanted to stay on site for evening meals. However, there are many options for eating or a drink within a 10-15 minute walk. Plus many more the further towards Funchal centre you want to go.

I tried the seafood dinner buffet and it was disappointing, one one kind of fish with turkey and bean soup!!! Any drinks even water or coffee was an extra pay, which I find is pretty cheap for such an upscale place. Other than that personal and amenities are great.
