Praia da Madalena do Mar Yakınındaki Ponta do Sol Otelleri

A well organised hotel in rural Madiera, on the sea shore. It would have helped if we knew just how rural beforehand as the 25euro and 20 min taxi from Funchal turned into 35-40euro and half an hour in practice or an hour on the express bus if you could find it. This hotel definately needs a courtesy bus as almost everything is based in Funchal. The hotel has local trips but they turn out to start in Funchal as well so lots of messing about for an hour or more to get there at start and again to get back. The meals and staff help were excellent, there is a small indoor pool and as with most of Madiera a pebble beach. Means to make tea in the room would have made this an ideal residence. There are two local levadas if its walking you want but take a taxi to the start point if your doing the long one, or you may run out of legs and light! Well worth the effort.

We are a couple and stayed for 3 nights in this hotel (May 2022). For a 3-stars hotel, we do love their service during our trip in Funchal, Madeira. There are several restaurants nearby to have lunch and dinner. It is only 10 minutes of walking to the nearest beach. We rented a car for 1 day, and the rent car location was so close from the hotel (5 mins of walking). If you are looking for a budget hotel with great service and good location, you may consider this hotel as an option. I recommend this hotel for you. Pros: 1. Location The location is quite good. From the airport, we took aero bus and paid €8 for a return ticket per person. The aero bus only accept payment in cash. The ride will take us around 30 minutes from the airport to the nearest stop (no.3 Mercado). Then, we walked to the hotel for 10 minutes. You just need to climb up the road after you are in 31 Janeiro street. To walk to the city center l, it will take you less than 10 mins too. 2. Check-in The check-in went smoothly and no problem. After we verified our identification card, the receptionist told us about the wifi, breakfast, and others things. 3. Price We made a reservation through OTA. It was good value of money to stay in this hotel. The breakfast already included in the price for 2 people. 4. Room The room is quite simple, clean, and not so big. We had twin beds with a city view (4th floor). There is a TV, chair, table, cupboard. The bed and pillow are comfortable for me. The bathroom is quite big and it is clean. The standard amenities like soap, shampoo are there. The towels are clean. The hot water and the ac worked perfectly. 5. Breakfast The breakfast is not bad, it exceed our expectations. They have fresh bacons and sausage everyday. The view from the breakfast area was so beautiful. 6. Wifi The wifi is easy to connect and the speed is good from our room. 7. Staff The staffs are quite nice and helpful. The man helped us to get to know a ticket available for Porto Santo. The woman helped us with useful information to take the aero bus to the airport. The staffs for breakfast were nice too. 8. Facilities The hotel has spa, restaurant, rooftop bars. Cons: 1. They should improve the fruits salad on the breakfast. The quality of the fruits could be better.

Our experience of the hotel was enhanced by our meal in the restaurant, which I have reviewed separately. My favourite thing about the room was the enclosed balcony. It was like having a private yoga studio in the sky. (Fellow yogis note, the floor was slippery.) I also enjoyed the spectacular view from the Sauna, which at the time was free because it was not working optimally. (So do ask!) It was good enough for me, but it took over an hour to heat up. The Pool looked too small and shallow to actually swim in, but mostly it was unusable as it was colder than the sea. I don’t know if this was usual. Breakfast was fairly similar to ones we had at other Madeira hotels, but this place had the tastiest selection of fresh bread rolls and very good garlicky mushrooms. The room was clean. We liked the 3-section recycling bin in the room. Others mentioned lack of plugs for phones. Erm... we knew about that but were surprised to find that there were not enough plugs for the room items. The Kettle and TV had to share a wall outlet. They really should consider supplying an extension lead, which could be given out and collected at check-in, just as they (bizarrely) do with the TV remote control. We did start off on a rather bad note. At check in, we were downright ignored. One receptionist was settling a dispute with another guest, but both members of staff deliberately avoided any sort of eye contact with us. I don't normally notice this sort of thing, but it was rude and infuriating and lasted some time. A simple nod would have sufficed. I’ll put this down to a bad day for the first member of staff, who later was helpful. After a long wait for no discernible reason, the other receptionist demanded payment before we had even seen the room, for which we had paid in advance. We've stayed at many places who use multiple booking sites. Sometimes you pay on arrival, sometimes beforehand, and we understand that the hotel needs to know. However, there are ways of asking that don't come across as offensive and like one is trying to get away with something. Not everyone is out to steal the remote control. Make sure you bring proof of payment if you’ve paid in advance, as we had. The hotel is lucky that they have out of this world views.

Fantastic!! Having never done an all inclusive holiday due to my sons serious allergies we can honestly not recommend more! Travelling with a 3 month baby in tow also the rooms were ideal & spacious for our needs. It was all clean & tidy! However a huge huge thank you to Betty the chef for catering & making our sons holiday the best! We will be back!

The Barcelo Old Town is wonderfully central. It is suitable for all travelers who do not want to go to the hotel district of Funchal in mass tourism. By the central location in Baixa von Funchal, the hotel is ideal for extensive visits to the city. Despite the central location, the rooms are absolutely quiet. A highlight is the roof terrace with pool. Wonderful for relaxation after long day trips with a great view of Funchal. Breakfast is very good. Fresh prepared egg food, fresh fruit and a large selection of other foods. Every type of breakfast is personally designable. Very nice spacious room with a very good bed for relaxed sleep. All staff were extraordinarily friendly and helpful, in accordance with the standard of the house. Important notice: the hotel has no own parking space. Whoever has a car hire, must hire it in a parking house, but that is no problem. When you arrive and leave, you can go to the hotel. Do not distract the marking. For the be and discharge you can enter the traffic-relent area. Conclude: The hotel is absolutely recommended!!

I was looking at my reviews on TripAdvisor when I saw my previous review of this hotel where I gave it 4 stars. Still not bad of course, but I wanted to write another review as me and my husband have been back to Saccharum twice(!) after my first review. So I thought about writing a new review. This is now our favorite hotel on Madeira, as it’s not as crowded like a lot of hotels in Funchal. Calheta is beautiful and not crowded at all. We really appreciate privacy and a calm environment when we go on holiday, and Saccharum is great for this! Sometimes restaurants are packed with other tourists and you’re seated a couple centimeters away from other guests but here at Saccharum you can eat all relaxed in whatever restaurant of the hotel you please. We really like the bar next to the sea, Calhau. They have nice vegetarian options for me. Also everything is clean and hygiene is great. That’s so important to me. So after our new experiences at this hotel I’ve wanted to change my 4-star review into a 5-star review. We are now planning to take my parents to Madeira in October of this year to show them this beautiful island, and we will be staying at Saccharum!

Hotel Quinta Da Penha De Franca is within it's own complex and is up the hill from its sister hotel Quinta Penha de Franca Mar. You can use the facilities within Quinta Penha de Franca Mar as well. Both are linked together by means of a private bridge which goes over the road, this is pretty seamless, but you do have to go out the door of the De Franca and buzz back in, but too much of an issue. Quinta Da Penha De Franca is set within gardens and has a heated pool which can be used, complimentary pool towels provided. You can also use the pool at Franca Mar which is unheated, but was still warm enough, and is salt water, from here you also have direct private access to the sea. Rooms are of a good size, I would recommend staying in the main complex rooms. There are around 4 rooms which are around Rooms 40-44 which are separate from the main complex, that can be nice, but note the Irish Bar is just over the wall, so can be a little noisy at times. Rooms were clean, air conditioning good, TV and mini bar, which if you want to indulge was good value. Beds were big, and very comfy which helped for a good nights sleep. Room Service is also available, though oddly no complimentary tea & coffee provided in the room, which I would expect in a four star. The location is excellent, on the edge of the hotel area means a short walk into town, and short walk to other restaurants and bars in the hotel district so a real positive. Parking is also very good, they have a large free to use carpark, so brilliant if you are planning to hire a car to explore the island like we did, we had no issues parking. Breakfast was also very good, a mix of continental, Portuguese and cooked buffet options. Service was friendly and overall a very enjoyable stay was had.
