“I think this hotel distinguishes itself with its modern wellness focus, and the location in Funchal's Lido area places it conveniently near local dining; plus, there's free parking, which is always a plus. The blend of family-friendly amenities and conference facilities makes it versatile, though the spa experience seems to need some refinement. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for a Madeira stay.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Melia Madeira Mare Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the spacious and clean rooms at Melia Madeira Mare, with many enjoying partial or full ocean views from their balconies. The hotel's location is ideal, near restaurants and bars, and a short Bolt or taxi ride to the center of Funchal. The breakfast buffet is a highlight for many, featuring diverse options like fresh fruit and a make-your-own omelet station, though a few guests have found the hot items not consistently warm enough. The indoor pool and jacuzzi provide a relaxing alternative to the outdoor pool, and the hotel offers convenient amenities like included parking.

underwhelming stay

the staff was ready to help.
the air conditioning was loud and didn't work for the first two days. we paid extra for a sea view but got a room on the first floor. it looked directly into sunbathers below, the restaurant, and sunbeds, giving us no privacy at all...

My room had side sea view. Staff members was amazing, nothing seemed a problem. The location near the sea was convenient. There were many restaurants nearby.
The breakfast buffet was terrible. Hot items become cold, and replacements werent frequent. The coffee tasted undrinkable. So, I went to a café.
