Our take
Meliá Madeira Mare offers what many families look for in Funchal: a seafront position on the Atlantic, indoor and outdoor pools, a full spa and balconies, with the city centre close by. I would choose it for a family holiday that mixes pool days with walks into town. It is a large five-star hotel, so those who prefer a small, intimate address may want something else.
- Consider booking a room with an ocean view balcony for the best experience.
- Take advantage of the spa facilities, especially the sauna and steam bath, for relaxation.
- Explore Funchal's city center, which is just a short distance from the hotel.

Why guests love itMeliá Madeira Mare overlooks the Atlantic in Funchal, and I like it for families who want both an indoor and an outdoor pool, so swimming does not depend on the weather. Rooms have balconies and cable TV, the spa is there for parents, and the city centre is close for walks and meals out. The hotel is family-friendly and accepts pets, which is rarer at five-star level. With an 8.9 score from 1,908 reviews, it is a dependable seafront choice on Madeira.
