Top Santo Antonio Hotel Reviews
The Vine
8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel in a great location. Staff were helpful when we were planning excursions. Shower was lovely and powerful. The room despite all of the windows was very lowly lit so doing my hair and make up was a challenge and I had to do it standing at the bathroom sink which for someone with a back issue was a challenge The wardrobe was huge but lacked shelves and hangers. The bathroom lacked hanging space eg for towels - hooks next to the shower would be helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices. Coffee was not great from the machine so we ordered separately as I’m vegan and the cappuccino was effectively a white coffee. Breakfast staff were all very friendly and helpful Rooftop was lovely but service was super slow and standing at the bar I was often ignored despite there being less than a handful of people there."
Hotel Riu Madeira - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"The staff really make this resort feel like a vacation, from the bar, front desk and the restaurant everyone was incredible. Cannot recommend this place enough, it’s made me want to look into staying at another Riu resort."
Saccharum Resort
10/10 Excellent
"We lived the rooms, ambiance and garden areas. The cocktail class we took was entertaining but should lean into local drinks instead of 3 basic common drinks that were all shaken."
Sentido Galosol
8/10 Good
"The facility was amazing but we did not get to utilize it much as we toured the island for 3 days. The pizza restaurant was very good, food and staff. Atlantis was good food but staff did not know what a gin martini was and I got a gin and tonic with oranges etc. The staff in the lounge above were not friendly. Our room 4204 was below a penthouse (private suite) that was noisy, kids running around and furniture moving. The bar in the main restaurant closed at 6:00 so we were not able to access after our days trip around Madeira."
Hyatt Ziva Madeira
10/10 Excellent
"Il aurait été intéressant d’être avisés que le gym était fermé pour rénovations car ça faisait partie de nos critères de sélection."
The Editory Garden Carmo Funchal
10/10 Excellent
"The small gym was empty both times I went, which was great for me. I never saw anyone swimming in the gorgeous pool, possibly because it’s not very hot this time of year. Staff at reception very helpful. Located extremely close to restaurants and shops. Only thing I didn’t like was breakfast. They have 2 coffee machines that maybe fancy drinks which were great, but the food selection wasn’t appetizing. It was on par with a normal hotel continental breakfast."
Porto Mare Hotel, by PortoBay
10/10 Excellent
"Fabulous hotel stay. Large room with very comfortable beds, house keeping excellent, breakfast very good with excellent hot and cold food choices. Amazing pool with various sunbathing areas and sufficient loungers. Good snack bar for lunches and drinks by pool. Good indoor pool with sauna and steam room. Walkable into old town, with supermarket, and good bars and restaurants in local vicinity."
Castanheiro Boutique Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Location is just about perfect, right in the centre of historical Funchal, a few minutes from the cathedral and ten minutes from the cable car up to Monte. Nice, spacious room, even had proper studio kitchen facilities and gear to go with it. Good view from the roof top, and great breakfast offering. Very helpful staff, even provided recommendations on dealing with a flu that was starting to make its presence known. And we were allowed to utilise the spa in the afternoon after checking out on the day of departure."
