Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We stayed about a week in this hotel and experiences were mostly positive, Also price/quality-ratio was very good taking into account low-season prices of the hotel in December-January. Arrival from airport is easy and affordable with SAM Aerobus, compared to taxi. Bus stop is very close to hotel, but You must however keep Yourself “on map” with mobile device to know when to hop off from the bus. In the bus there is no kind of info or announcements how the journey proceeds. Reception staff was very friendly and helpful. Hotel room is spacious and comfortable, although partly worn-out, what was a bit surprising for 5-star hotel. Bed was very good for our taste. Sound-isolation was otherwise good, but You could hear quite clearly music noise from bars in the street at least in hotel rooms with partial see-view facing to east. Luckily music stopped at about 11 p.m. Inner pool of the hotel was out of use during our stay because of flood damages due to heavy rains in pervious week before our arrival. Luxury warm inner/outer pool of neighbouring hotel was however at disposal of hotel quests. Warm thanks about this to the hotel staff. Outer pool of our hotel we tested once, but water was a bit cold at end of January. Buffet breakfast is mostly excellent and also varying daily concerning cold dishes. Especially choice of fruits, vegetables and desserts was very comprehensive. Choice of warm dishes was much more limited and always the same from day to day. Also very egg-highlighting, one could say. Omelettes taste however perfect. Service is friendly and well-organized in the morning buffet. We did not eat dinner at the hotel, since there are several just excellent restaurants quite near-by the hotel. Hotel has own garage for hotel quests in basement floors which is handy with rental car, which also we had. Location of the hotel in Funchal is also very good for exploring Madeira with own car. Easy to arrive and come out from Funchal without need to go to city center. Walking distance to city center is on the other hand maybe a bit long for many.

Hotel's Favourite
Great overall hotel, well located (great restaurants and bars right next door), with great views, brilliant large suites, and service to match. We stayed at a sea view suite, got a Madeira traditional cake, chocolates and fruit when we got in. The only really less than ideal item was that the room service options after 10pm are heavily reduced, but nevertheless good enough. Happy to stay there again next time visiting Madeira

Clean, comfortable, organized. The beds were very nice and the bathroom was spotless and had a bidet. Food at the breakfast buffet and the dinner buffet was delicious. The bar service, while not good on Sunday, was excellent the rest of the week. The hotel staff all spoke English and were very helpful in navigating Funchal's excellent bus system.

Very enjoyable holiday in Superior Seaview room. Very good & consistent high service, especially reception. We must compliment Martin on his exceptional service - quickly resolved our room issue within 15 mins. An invaluable asset to the hotel - main reason we are now regularl clients. Also Leandro was a pleasure to deal with - always efficient. Enjoyed breakfast & always accommodating with hot milk for my weetabix. Good room service but a little hot and cold with regard food - occasionally high standard, overall average quality - one occasion poor. We believe best hotel in Funchal taking into consideration overall experience, standard of service and location.

We have just returned from an eventful 9 days at the Melia Mare, unfortunately two days in to our holiday a massive storm caused some flooding over the indoor pool and other areas but this was very quickly attended to and all staff rallied around apologised and did there utmost to ensure this did not spoil our holiday, Melia are lucky to have such friendly, caring staff that treat you as a friend and not a number. Looking forward to our return and seeing a refreshed Melia in the near future.

If you come to Madeira do NOT stay here! This is absolutely not a 5 star hotel. The AC made a horrible noise (too bad I can’t load the noise video) and didn’t cool, it was so bad I went out to the balcony to spend the night as I couldn’t sleep in the room; the suite was filthy, the bathroom had semen on wall and door, the floors were dirty and sticky, pillow case had black stains (and even after we reported this to the reception desk, and left so they could fix the issues, when they said the room was clean and everything had been fixed, the only thing they had done was change the sheets!) The beds are horribly hard and mattresses so old you can feel the wires on your back. I attempted to have issues resolved with front desk and Had to call the manager to come to our room. I couldn’t sleep at all and wasted our first day in Madeira trying to resolve issues which should have never happen at a 5 star hotel! This is not the Meliá experience I expected. I’m so upset because I prepaid for the room for 4 nights or I would move! Manager did move us to another suite, however it’s still a very disappointing and a waste of time and money in Madeira.

Dear Valued Guest, We're truly sorry your experience, on the whole, did not meet with your satisfaction. Your opinion is vital to us in our constant efforts in achieving complete guest comfort and satisfaction and appreciate your constructive criticism. As explained to you personally whilst you were in-house, we regret the lapse on our part in terms of the condition of the room you were initially allocated and apologize for the inconvenience caused. Do hope though that the room issue was resolved when we moved you to another alternative suite. Despite all, we hope you managed to enjoy the remainder of your stay with us and our lovely island. Perhaps you will reconsider and afford us another opportunity to host you in the not-too-distant future so you can experience our normal standards of services and look forward to welcoming you back. With kind regards and best wishes. Tina de Nobrega - GEX Manager

This hotel was for a Christmas break. The hotel is well positioned in Funchal with excellent sea views. The front desk and restaurant staff are friendly and efficient. What the hotel lacks is good management and attention to detail. The carpets in the rooms, corridors and restaurants need to have regular cleaning. The rooms are big and comfortable with a reasonable bed but there are draws to place personal items in the bed side tables. Bathrooms need attention, tiles are broken, shower and bath taps are problematic. Room service is efficient however food quality was mediocre and food was returned to the kitchen as the hamburger was uncooked. Breakfast buffet options were limited for a 5 star hotel and need a makeover.

Very clearly not a 5 star hotel: premises fine but just a lack of service. Small things make a five star hotel: e.g being shown to your table or breakfast instead of wandering about looking for one. The discussion at check-in about how you can spend your 5 euro voucher does not belong in a 5 star hotel. I could list 20 other points that suggest it is not a 5 star hotel. I have stayed in other Melia's eg Jakarta and these are truly 5 star: this one is not.

Nice Hotel with nice rooms. Rooms are big and in good shape with big balcony. Hotel itself is in quite good shape to. Outdoor Pool is not that big. Indoor Pool is nice for bad weather. Staff is mixed. They are not to friendly overall and a bit slow. Breakfast is good with bigger dibersity of food. Dinner is not that good. Just a few options and quality is not that good. You can come here for staying while exploring the island. Car Parking is free. For a longer holiday with long relaxing days at the pool, it might be not the right choice.
