"Very cool property. Apartment was comfortable for 4 adults and rooftop pool area was amazing. Great location too! I wouldn’t hesitate to book again here! "
"Carolina, the concierge was incredible and made this an easy check-in and great trip. She met us at the apartment and explained everything and provided tips about the area. When small issues arose (such as the hair dryer broke) she was quick to solve them. The apartment is in a FANTASTIC location with access to attractions such as funicular and hop on close by. Everything is walkable. If you wish to go further the taxi or bus is a 5 min walk. Restaurant alley is a 5 min walk with bars and...
"A great apartment on the edge of the old town. Fab views of the sea and of the local area - great for people watching.
Good size living / kitchen area with well appointed cooking area.
Full sized fridge freezer which is always a bonus.
Bedroom at the back with a small rooflight window - no aircon - but a decent fan in both areas.
Walk in bathroom/ shower was without a window and limited mechanical extraction - so had a v damp smell - a design fault - but had to keep that door closed.
But the...

"This hotel is really amazing I feel like the pictures don't do it justice the pictures are nice that's why I picked this hotel but staying here was a completely different experience and feeling the staff where great especially the staff in the premium lounge I don't noticed I booked for that package but it's a must you get daily breakfast and a evening snack free drinks and it's expensive it's own deck you get access to the spa which is the most discreet and exclusive spa I've been to that line made our trip magical you the spa is down a huge stair case into a hidden oasis in the middle of the hotel completely amazing I can't say enough the hotel it's self is away from tourist attractions bit we wanted that rent a car be cautious they like to drive very fast just book this hotel you will not regret it , the price is high but the experience is well worth it "
"We had a lovely stay at Dom Pedro Madeira. The room was very nice and clean. Staff was very helpful and made our stay even better. Breakfast buffet was excellent too. The hotel is close to the airport which is a bonus. "
"Stayed in a room that hosted me and two friends. The location to check-in was close to the apartment and walkable. There are a lot of cute shops and restaurants that are walkable from this location. Communication through WhatsApp was very smooth with the host. There is an elevator so you don’t have to only rely on stairs to bring your luggage upstairs. All in all a good stay! "
"We arrived late in the evening after our transfer from the airport. The resort had arranged the transfer for us and the driver was waiting at arrivals for the 8 of us in our group. He was great and gave us a bit of a tour on the way to Calheta.
Our reception at the resort went well and the woman on duty made sure we got down to the buffet before it closed. She was very friendly and attentive to our needs after a long day of travel.
Our rooms were modern and clean and cleaned and tidied well each day by the cleaning staff,
The buffet was great with a large selection of food items. Drinks at the bar were served quickly and were good. The "drink of the day" by the pool was excellent on the 2 days we had them.
The resort is in a beautiful location, nestled below a cliff. There is a public beach next to the resort which has great sand and water access.
Evening entertainment was fairly low key but pleasant as we enjoyed the evening by the pool while listening to a musician or watching the dancers.
We had no complaints about the staff at the resort. They were friendly and did their job well.
All in all I would recommend staying at this all inclusive Calheta Beach Hotel on the beautiful island of Madeira."
