"When we arrived the front desk staff were very friendly and welcoming. They provided recommendation at the hotel and nearby area and helped set up reservation for dinner that night at nearby Atlantis Restaurante. The room was clean and had a nice set up with lovely view and balcony overlooking pools and ocean. We enjoyed meals at Atlantis restaurante at sister property within walking distance and breakfast Buffett at Ondamar Buffet Restaurant. We also enjoyed the saltwater pool and swimming in the ocean right off the property. The staff, property, and amenities were all amazing and we wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy everything. Next time we hope to use the snorkeling onsite. We would hughly recommend to others and hope to stay again in the future."

"★★★★★ Exceptional Hospitality at RIU Madeira! We had a wonderful experience at RIU Madeira Resort! We arrived at the hotel before 9 AM, and even though our room wasn't ready yet, the staff warmly welcomed us and allowed us to enjoy the resort's amenities and breakfast right away. What impressed us even more was the flexibility on our departure day. Since our flight wasn't until 10 PM, we were allowed to continue enjoying the resort's facilities, relaxing, and having snacks even after checking out. This level of hospitality and flexibility made our stay so much more comfortable and enjoyable. The staff truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. For this exceptional hospitality alone, RIU Madeira deserves five stars! Highly recommended!"
