Baia Azul

Fantastic Hotel, highly recommended. Rooms are spacious, modern and spotlessly clean. We upgraded to a sea view room which was worth it as some of the rooms on the side of the hotel didn't look to have a great view. Only minus on the room is that the mini bar and safe are chargeable which for a couple of cans of coke and bottles of water seems a touch excessive for a more expensive hotel. Breakfast is fantastic. Large choice akin to some of the huge all inclusive hotels we've previously stayed in, all fresh, well cooked and obviously decent ingredients. We didn't use the restaurant for lunch or evening meal but we did have a snack from the bar on arrival which was also very well cooked using decent ingredients. The food and drink at the hotel is also well priced (it's cheap!) which is very welcome. All the staff we encountered were great. Helpful, friendly, and efficient. The hotel is probably 1.5 / 2 miles out of central Funchal. The hotel provide a shuttle service and there's a bus stop right outside the hotel so this was never a problem. All-in-all this hotel is superb and we would happily book again.

Amazing hotel! The view, the room and staff are just splendid. Beds are comfy, breakfast just wonderful and no worries about getting a sunbed at the pool any time. Rooms cleaned every day till perfection. Special thanks to Paulo the (pool)bartender for making us feel so welcome. Would highly recommend. Certainly coming back again!

Recently stayed here with my 11-yr old daughter and we loved it! The room was very nice (and comfortable). The staff was super friendly and helpful. And the views were incredible! The restaurant where you eat breakfast overlooks the water and is just a beautiful way to start your day. In the evenings, you can enjoy the same sights on their beautiful lounge patio, with drinks, food, and live entertainment including music and dancers. We also loved the area, with plenty of restaurants, cafes, shops, and walks nearby. The only reason I can't give it five stars is that parking is a bit hit or miss. We were told their parking lot was full, and it can be hard to find street parking. On some occasions we were forced to park pretty far away because of this. Small issue, but otherwise 100% recommend for a fun getaway!

Lovely hotel, clean comfy rooms. Welcome drink of Madeira wine on our arrival. On a direct bus route to lots of places on the island but the free shuttle bus to and from Funchal centre ( needs booking at reception) is very handy. Buffet breakfast with all the usual things on it. Lots of restaurants on the street outside, within a few mins walk plus a shopping centre with a great supermarket ( great wine at great prices found here!) Staff were all pleasant and friendly. Pool area was always clean and tidy. It was extremely cold though.

The isolation of the room is very bad. Heard all the noise from the road. Heard all the movements outside the room. Even worse : Next to the electric room and elevator. Ask for changing a room- the staff pretends the noise doesn’t exist. Apparently if the room is on the road side, all bad.(after checking other guests’ comments). No access to the beach. The swimming pool looks good but only less than 1m deep and 10m long? The pool is important if no access to the beach??? There are many better choices for hotels at similar price.
