Madeira Panorâmico Hotel

The view from the large balcony was beautiful. Our room was fantastic, large and roomy. Buffet style breakfast with plenty of choice. Also omelettes cooked fresh with your choice of ingredients. You need to be prepared that the hotel is atop some very steep hills. Although the courtesy bus is very good it stops around 6ish but taxis are very reasonable. The hotel is on many different levels so takes a while to get your bearings. Happy hour in the cocktail bar is excellent value, drinks half price. The staff were amazing, the bar staff in particular, especially Liliana, Carlos and Tiago, all great fun.

The evening buffet at 34 euros per head was, in my mind, extremely overpriced. We only used it once and there was no way it was value for money. The A La Carte restaurant was better value.

Room (sea view), staff, parking, breakfast and location.

Arrived late (9pm) and couldn't get any food without taking the set menu. Had the chicken from room service another night and it had been so overcooked you could not eat it and everything else on the plate was awful.

Amazing hotel! They upgraded our room to the sea view and it was honestly amazing. Bathroom had been updated with an amazing shower and really comfortable beds. Cleaning staff were excellent everyday. We loved the breakfast, tonnes of choice. Pool and sunbeds were fab. Location was great. We got bolts anywhere when heading out for dinner and it was really cheap, about 5-6 euro. (Lido was a really nice area for restaurants) we rented a car through the hotel and it couldn’t have been easier, car was dropped to the hotel and we just left the keys back into reception and didn’t have to pay a deposit or additional charges. Very laid back and relaxed hotel and staff were excellent. We went as a young couple and really couldn’t recommend it more!

Bed was comfortable

Pool area was rammed with people
