Special mention to Juan in the main restaurant please. At dinner there was not one desert from at least 20 that was dairy free. When I asked Juan said no problem and he went and made one in 5 minutes. Amazing and unexpected

We have stayed at this hotel many times before and the reasons for returning are: - the amazing views from the rooms (floors 5 -10) out over the Atlantic - every room has sun and sea views all day - the spa built into the cliff side with incredible ocean views and wonderful relaxation areas as well as the hydro pool - the sea platform which has a choice of pools and is a sheltered suntrap all day long (we were there in December).

I recently stayed at this resort and I must say, it was a beautiful experience. The resort was stunning and the pool was absolutely amazing. I spent most of my time lounging by the pool and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The only downside was the taste of food which was okay. However, overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Great location 20 min safe walk to Funchal. Pools and sea access beautiful. Restaurant beside pool at lunchtime fantastic. Buffet restaurant is fine for a buffet. Omelettes are brilliant! The other 2 dine around are not open every night. Ate in the meat restaurant it was excellent. Great drink prices with a marvellous cocktail list. Bar had music on at weekends. Close to tour bus stops. Hire car company on site. We used hire care company 7m DONT! Did the red bus tour, but don’t bother with the extra 7€ for the blue route. Use the cable car and then either return with them or use basket ride, then local bus. North side of island beautiful, visit lava pools 3€ to swim. Kids loved it. Fantastic scenery. We did the Christopher Columbus galleon which was great fun. The pirates were very helpful!

Pool areas and free fitness classes as well as happy hour cocktails. Convenient for walking in to Funchal and lots of facilities around the hotel and bus stops if you don’t want to walk.

Does not live up to its five star rating
Thoroughly disappointed. The hotel for a five star lacked soul. There were no comfortable welcoming lounges for you to relax in and staff failed to interact with residents. There was a lack of information as to what was going on in the hotel and the surrounding area. My wife got up one morning to go to the gym when it opened at 7.00 am only to find after waiting half an hour outside in the dark that it didn’t open until 10.00 am that day as it was a public holiday. There were no notices to inform you of this. The beds were really hard and uncomfortable. Although breakfast was quite good. The evening buffet meal was really awful. The food lacked taste, was just about warm and a lot of the meats were tough. The desserts although looked nice were rubbery and tasteless. We had lunch in the poolside restaurant and I have to say, the food here was really very good, staff interacted and were friendly. We also ate at the Casa das Espetadas which again we thought was very good. The one positive I can say is that whatever you asked for at reception, it was delivered to your room promptly. Would I stay here again. - probably not.

Gorgeous ocean front setting with couple infinite pools. Great for family vacations. The hotel offers free breakfasts and dinner in a buffet styled which is very nice. They also have a few restaurants for dinner options. Gym is also very nice too. If I have to suggest the hotel can be a bit better - I had wished the bed sheet (additional protective layer) can be a soft typed rather than a rough plastic film Tyler which makes every turn noisy and annoying so eventually we had to pull off this layer for a better sleep quality)

Excellent hotel, excellent staff
We stayed with Vidamar for our honeymoon, 7 nights. It was the best decision ever. Despite it being holiday season and lots of guests, the hotel had plenty of staff around who were all smiles and provided a great service. We were on 10th floor, with a sea view and balcony, and could not have been more comfortable in any way. We especially appreciated the small touches (fizz, red wine and trouffles on arrival). From our stay back in 2019, we remembered how the afternoon room service would leave small chocolates every day, and to our excitement, they still offer this lovely gesture. Breakfast and evening buffet was fabulous. Greeted by friendly and helpful staff, there was plenty of choice - many healthy and gluten free options - and everything was delicious. We were so impressed with how the hotel delivered such a seamless service, with no queues or shortages (new dishes were constantly brought out), despite all guests. The hotel boasts plenty of space and resource, so it also never felt crammed. We had 3 day trips planned during our stay, but could have easily stayed at the resort and been very happy there for the week (e.g. lots of fitness classes, gym, pool tables, spa, etc). A nice stroll away from Funchal town centre. We loved being able to swap our dinner vouchers for lunch at the pool restaurant, especially since the sushi restaurant is no more. (We hope this will come back!). Overall, we loved our stay and can't wait to come back. Obrigado!

Beautiful stay in this hotel. My only comment is that the wifi is very poor and really didn’t work in the bedrooms. Normally it would be okay as I would use data roaming but Vodafone Portugal had a breach so no data roaming on Madeira. Hopefully the hotel can upgrade their wifi soon. Would highly recommend this hotel- had a wonderful stay.

The hotel is located in a great area of Funchal with easy access of the Marina, town center or great starting point if you are heading to the mountains. We as a family had a great stay and enjoyed the facilities that this hotel had to offer. Just few things to mention, the rooms are clean and kept clean by very kind people.

WORST HOTEL EVER. Trust me, this is not a 5 star hotel. WiFi never works, called the front desk every day to fix it but they said that’s as best as it’s going to get. The maint. crew said that if there’s a lot of people, the WiFi rarely works. The rooms and hotel are bare while the bathrooms aren’t cleaned very well. Towels are stiff. Beds are uncomfortable. In addition, the guest services and customer service is a joke. When we called to fix the WiFi on the first day, the front desk said to wait for the maintenance team to come to the room. We waited for 2 hours then called to ask for an update to which they said “they said they went there… oh I’m so sorry they don’t need to go to the room.” Wow. I spoke to guest services at the end for my feedback, to let them know the issues we found instead of leaving a review, they did not respond with empathy and customer service - they responded with hostile defensiveness and contradictions. When told about the WiFi - the Guest Services lady said that I should’ve talked to her about it. I called the front desk every day, shouldn’t the front desk communicate that to her? When told about the surprise charges for the drinks during dinner as Expedia said dinner is inclusive, the Guest Services lady said “well dinner is food and everywhere in Madeira we charge water”. Yet breakfast drinks are free and water is free in rooms. Just the worst customer service ever. Have a better holiday at any nearby hotel for better value.

Beautiful hotel, Prime Location,Exceptional Staff
The hotel consist of twin towers and is in prime location of Funchal , easily accessible by walk both to city centre and the other side to Forum shopping mall . Hotel is exceptionally well maintained and managed as it is immaculately clean and running like a clock . Staff at all areas from reception to restaurants are all very polite and attentive . Tables at buffet get constantly cleaned and they attend to guests regularly. Life guards are always looking out for guests and swimming pools are never crowded and there is always space on sun beds . The cafe by the beach serves a nice selection of meals , snacks and drinks which is very handy . I am really surprised how some reviewers previously could fault Vidamar as I am dubious anyone can criticise the quality of service and generally the Vidamar Funchal . You get a nice relaxing holiday by the beach with fantastic breakfast, a nice buffet dinner or to swap for one of the restaurants on site ,beautiful spa and more than everything, welcoming polite staff who go extra mile to provide the best service for guests. Thank you Vidamar staff and management, we really enjoyed our stay .
