The Monte Mar doesn't change: the food is good, the staff friendly and helpful, the situation magical, the facilities excellent and the silence is fantastic. If you enjoy solitude, good walking and fantastic scenery it cannot be beaten. Lucia, the masseuse at the Wellness Centre, has hands that are magic and offers a range of treatments that you'd be hard... more

Selected this hotel on a 'special offer - winter break'. A car is of great help in getting about in this somewhat isolated position. Hotel courtesy bus provides very limited service to Funchal. Local service buses operate with bus stop outside hotel entrance. Limited service but of use to those without car. Hotel location on cliff top with fantastic and... more

No one told us the road to hell was through the mountain. However if you go via Funchal the roads are ok. That was the first and only nighmare,thankfully. The hotel is well away from most everything, the nearest village is 15min by car and not much to offer. The food was very good (just as well) and the staff... more

We have just spent a week here all inclusive, and had a lovely holiday. Yes it is very popular with older British people (Saga) but everyone was friendly and we had a great time. It is quite cut off from the rest of the island so a hire car is probably a good idea unless you just want to just... more

After reading the reviews I thought we knew what we were going for. Totally right, the view is precious, and there is nothing to do around, car hire is a must, but we totally enjoyed the walks. The food is excellent and the rooms well kept. What made our holiday memorable was the Saga rep Andy Birnie. Such a lovely... more

Travelled here with SAGA and had a lovely time. Nice hotel in beautiful setting, attentive staff, good facilities ( 2 pools, small gym, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, 3 bars and putting green ). The surrounding area although hilly was accessible and enjoyable to walk around, There are no pavements on the main roads so caution is required as the... more

We've stayed here twice now, both times through Hotelsbooked. The hotel is very clean, quiet, efficient and friendly with a nice cosmopolitan atmosphere (lots of Germans and French while we were there). If you're looking for a noisy, action-packed, boozy, Brits-only holiday with a raving night-life, then this is certainly NOT the place for you. It is very cut off,... more

My wife and i have been to over 40 countries worldwide and half of our holidays have been in fully inclusive hotels so please read on. This hotel is very isolated situated outside a small fishing village. You will have a 15 minute walk to the nearest mini market and filling station the walk is not suitable for anyone with... more

Went for 1 week in June 09 and read the reviews before I went. Must admit this put me off a bit. Bad Food Etc. How pleased I was I put the views to the back of my mind. Lot of choice with food I only picked one wrong dish and that was the cod. Otherwise superb. Fresh fruit, crisp... more

The location on the North coast of the island means that the number of sunny days is fewer than experienced in the South. However, if your desire if for a quiet hotel with no nearby noisy entertainments, this is definitely one to consider. Staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive. In our early sixties, we felt quite young. Some guests,... more
