We enjoyed our time at this beautiful resort which made a great base for exploring the west side of the island. The room, pools, beach area, restaurants and helpful staff combined for a wonderful stay. We split our time on Madeira between Funchal and Calheta which gave us two different, but equally great experiences and allowed us to more easily explore the entire island.

This was one of the most serene places to stay. The views were unreal, and the breakfast was amazing! The service was top tier too. I accidentally left a few things in my room after checkout, they contacted me within an hour and had it delivered to a Savoy location right by my airbnb the next morning. I would happily stay here again!

Beautiful hotel. The pool on the 8th has a sensational view. Beautiful plats, great beds and super modern, clean. Only downside for me was service. No service at all but the pool and almost made to feel like you were being troublesome to order a drink. Bar Staff / waiters on 8th floor were pretty nonchalant to be polite. On checking out you are also charged “mandatory tips” when you have to order everything yourself, walk up / down and sometimes told - “we can’t serve you, we’re preparing for dinner service (at 6pm) - pretty poor . Breakfast is fab, rooms are fab, just the poor service that’s letting the place dow .

Saccharum Hotel Resort & Spa is a perfect blend of luxury, calm, and thoughtful design. The ocean views are stunning, the rooms are spacious and beautifully finished, and the infinity pools and spa are incredibly relaxing. Breakfast was excellent, and the service throughout the hotel was warm and attentive. A truly memorable stay — I would absolutely return.

Food at this resort is very bad. Not a single bar or restaurant on the property has good food or good service. Considering that this resort is remote the quality of food becomes essential. Cleaning staff and spa services are outstanding. Concierge could be more helpful.

Pools were very cold. Staff were hit and miss, some excellent some not. Had an issue with the room bill which took time to fix and they weren’t very apologetic, not what I would expect from a 5 star hotel. Room was good, could have been cleaner and the spec was cheap. Restaurant was overpriced and extremely slow but the view was amazing. Nice hotel but don’t expect 5 star anything, much more of a 4 star experience.

We came for two days - we stayed five. Is there more to say? The gym? Nice! The spa? Nice. The pool? Nice! I had a burger at the bar on day one. Not the best one. We ate outside at the Italian restaurant nearby for the other days. Highly recommended. The staff at Saccarum was more than helpful and nice. All of them. The beds are comfortable.
