Top Palmeiras Beach Hotel Reviews

Baía Madeira Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good location not far from Airport. Room was clean and looked out over the water. Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast included was great. We were able to rent a car directly from inside the hotel."

Dª Xica Holidays, from the sea to the mountains: Golf, beach, swimming pools and aquapark just 5 minutes away.

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay. It was a nice place with everything we needed. Very clean and well kept. It was a great location so close to the beach and the many excellent restaurants and stores. The host was always responsive to any questions we had."

Beachfront house with pool

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful views and nice place to stay. Finding it was difficult. Pool was murky until our last day. Short walk to Santa Cruz downtown and short drive to Funchal. Enjoyed our time there."

Villa Luz: between Serra and the Sea - Free Wifi

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison idéalement située dans un environnement calme et reposant. La vue est tout simplement magnifique : d’un côté, une belle vue sur la mer, et de l’autre, un panorama verdoyant sur la vallée avec une cascade.La maison est spacieuse, très propre et offre tout le confort nécessaire pour des vacances agréables. Nous souhaitons toutefois préciser qu’il est fortement recommandé de louer une voiture suffisamment puissante pour emprunter les routes très pentues de la région.Marta a été une hôte particulièrement attentionnée. Avant même notre arrivée, elle nous avait conseillé d’éviter l’itinéraire le plus court proposé par le GPS et de privilégier un trajet un peu plus long mais beaucoup moins escarpé. Tout au long du séjour, elle est restée facilement joignable et nous a donné de nombreux conseils utiles pour profiter pleinement de la région.Nous gardons un très beau souvenir de ces vacances reposantes et recommandons vivement cette location."

Villas Madalena

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good — clean and well equipped. Bed linen, towels, kitchenware and appliances were all provided, and the parking was great too. The view was amazing, and of course the special Madeira touch — watching the planes take off and land, visible even from the room. Overall, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!"

Casa do Mundo Madeira

10/10 Excellent

"Very well equipped and clean place. Spacious room with great balcony and view. Breakfast impeccable! Miguel and staff are very friendly and helpful. "
