With the "bang for the bucks" place to stay at, we can only recommend you to stay at the Residence. Accommodations, pool area as well as the restaurants are excellent. Family with kids will have a nice week by the poolside, but dont expect kids playground/activities. Evening entertainment feelt old and dated for us (mid 40s of age), possibly aimed for the +65. We surely will be back at this premises again soon. ##### Stefan Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janet Apr 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful, beautiful hotel, lovely gardens and facilities. Room was well equipped with everything we could need including spare towels for pool/spa. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had a room facing the road which was noisy but it was changed with no fuss to quiet inward facing. Fantastic choice and quality of breakfast. Half hour walk into Funchal which we preferred to irregular bus service. Large supermarket close by if needed. ##### Janet Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelly Ann Nov 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My husband and I had a great stay at The Residence. The breakfast buffet was vast and delicious. The property is beautiful to walk around. Although you cannot access the ocean from the property, the views are amazing and you can easily access the water nearby. Lots of beautiful walking areas nearby as well as restaurants. The hotel pools were lovely as were the restaurants and free entertainment. The staff was helpful and the facility was immaculate. Our room had a beautiful room, was clean and comfortable amd had amazing water pressure. We would definitely return. ##### Kelly Ann Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Gala Jul 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Everything was great but in our room was very loud at night. We prefer to go to sleep not late to wake up before sunrise. It was impossible to sleep before midnight. I believe there should be a choice of rooms in terms of noise level preferably at arrival. Otherwise it was great. ##### Gala Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### paul Aug 12, 2025 ##### paul Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan Juhl Apr 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Femte gang på Porto Mare. Residence er rigtigt flot og har meget høje standarder. Meget hjælpsomt personale. Vi måtte rejse hjem før tid, vi fik fuld refund fra hotellet. Meget imødekommende og professionelt. Kan varmt anbefale stedet. Vi kommer tilbage. ##### Allan Juhl Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Mar 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr gepflegte Anlage, sehr freundliches Personal, sehr nett zu Kindern, im März waren aber überwiegend Senioren Gäste im Hotel.
