"Right from our arrival the staff took care of us. Buffet closed at 10pm and we arrived at 945. They took us to the buffet and told us not to worry, our bags would be in our room. As the week went on we enjoyed the amenities of the hotel. Lots of great activities to do at the resort including local drink making, art, yoga, tai chi, meditation, exercise classes, tile decorating. Food was outstanding. Never been to a resort where the food was so good. Al a carte options were awesome. Buffet was incredible for breakfast lunch and supper Weather was so good. 19-22 degrees daily. The pools were cool but refreshing in the sun. Tours around the island were easy to book. And fun to do. We did jeep tours of the northwest and northeast part of the island 2 separate days. Pickup and drop off were at the hotel. Super simple. Super fun I would recommend dreams hotel and the island of Madeira to everyone who enjoys top notch food, kind people, and wonderful scenery. A hikers paradise as well. We will be coming back. Dreams hotel was so great."

"Great location and caring staff, with a few small improvements needed The location of the hotel is wonderful, and the island itself is absolutely beautiful. It would honestly be a shame to spend all your time just staying at the hotel — we explored the island, enjoyed the nature, watched the sunrises, and truly appreciated our time here. The reception staff were very kind and caring, which made our stay even more pleasant. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. We especially appreciated the access to the sauna and the option to request a lunch box. Since we chose to wake up early to watch the sunrise and explore the island, we unfortunately never made it to breakfast (even though it was included in the price), so the lunch box option was very helpful for us. However, there are a few things that could be improved. There were no slippers in the room, which would have been a nice addition. Also, the lunch boxes were inconsistent: one morning it was prepared only for one person (even though there were two of us), the next day it was for two people, and on the third day again only for one. We were not sure why this happened. Another issue was the strong smell in the room upon arrival. It smelled heavily of chlorine, almost like a hospital. It made the first night quite uncomfortable. Perhaps adding some light room fragrance or sachets could help create a more welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed our time on the island. With a few small improvemen"

"The amenities and the location is wonderful "

"We love Porto Mare and have stayed a few times before. The facilities are great and the staff are very welcoming! The breakfast buffet is the BEST! This time we bought the three dinners at Atlantida restaurant, all of which we fab but the fish and seafood night was the highlight! Our room was clean and had a lovely view over the gardens We’ll be back in 2026 :)"

"Excellent short stay in an upscale hotel. Wonderful friendly staff. Very tasty breakfast with good selections. Comfortable and updated room. The hotel smelled new renovations which were obvious in the corridors and bathrooms. Would highly recommend."

"Loved it got a free upgrade. My adult daughter and I enjoyed the pool, breakfast, gym and other facilities. Did the Madeira tasting evening which was yummy, with plenty of food, and wine, well worth it. Car park was a little tricky required reversing in, if arriving back later in the evening, but that added to the adventure of the holiday. Thank you "
