We had a car (which we recommend so you have the freedom to explore the whole island) and there is free parking available below the hotel on the street with a lift up to the hotel. We will definitely book in again if we come back to Madeira.

SloveniaNavigator is definitely the best hotel in Porto Santo!
The staff are incredibly helpful and made our stay even more enjoyable. The rooms are spacious and very clean, and the whole place has such a peaceful vibe — perfect for total relaxation.
In the future, I’d suggest making it adults-only, as the only downside was the noise from children in the dining area. The hotel has great potential. We noticed it opened before being completely finished, with a few details still missing, but I’m sure they’ll continue improving and adding the final touches.

FAQs about hotels in Madeira Archipelago
The Island of Eternal Spring
With lush landscapes, brightly coloured flowers and a mild, year-round climate, it’s easy to see why Madeira is called the ‘Island of Eternal Spring’. Its interior is mountainous, so most resorts are coastal, many at the foot of steep cliffs.
One such resort is Paul do Mar, a fishing village known for whale watching and surfing, as is Jardim do Mar, on a plateau just east. Nearby Calheta has 2 white sand beaches protected by breakwaters.
The main resort is the capital Funchal. Cascading down slopes, it has the lion’s share of 5-star hotels in Madeira on Booking.com. A cable car ascending into the hills offers fantastic views towards the harbour where cruise liners and ferries from neighbouring Porto Santo island are berthed.
East, Caniço’s sandy beach is nestled between rocky cliffs, while Santa Cruz is the nearest resort to Madeira Airport. Machico is the 2nd biggest city and has the best nightlife outside Funchal, but the best Madeira hotels for families are in quieter resorts such as Porto da Cruz in the north.
Santana is home to the triangular-shaped, thatched houses typical of the island, and twisting mountain roads lead to São Vicente, an attractive hill town with red-roofed houses. By the north-western tip is the village of Porto Moniz whose offshore rocks shelter natural rock pools.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and impeccable service. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They truly made us feel like valued guests, and I couldn't have asked for better service.
In addition to the fantastic staff, the resort itself is absolutely gorgeous. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with comfortable beds. The spa is the perfect place to unwind and relax after a long day at the beach.
And speaking of the beach... wow. The Pestana Porto Santo Beach Resort & SPA is situated right on the beach, and it's truly a sight to behold. The water is warm and inviting, and the sand is soft and perfect for lounging. Whether you want to take a dip in the ocean or simply relax under an umbrella with a good book, this beach has it all.
Overall, I can't recommend the Pestana Porto Santo Beach Resort & SPA enough. If you're looking for a relaxing beach vacation with top-notch service, this is the place for you. I can't wait to come back and experience it all over again!

Funchal is a small city with Old Town character and marina to enjoy. The best benefits of Madeira are the hiking trails all over the country. There are a lot of organisations based in Funchal where visitors can sign up to hikes and be picked up and returned to their property at the end of them. This is great for those who are not driving. Funchal also has other sights worth visiting such as Monte Palace and the Botanical gardens, both of which may be accessed by cable car or bus. I would highly recommend both of these attractions. I also visited the Madeira Story centre museum which although old fashioned, provides a chronological history of Madeira for those who are interested. The Old Town provides a wide range of good restaurants for tourists to choose from.

Machico resort is not for the night clubbing holiday maker, It was however for us a slow paced setting with a good selection of restaurants and supermarkets with walking routes for those who wish. The harbour offered boat trips, whale watching and surf lessons, the latter was enjoyed from the safety of a dry vantage point. Local bus into Funchal for 2-60 euro single was 50 mins away which opens up further opportunities for excursions and sight seeing like the red or yellow hop on hop off bus tours which operate from the promenade where the ticket is valid for 24 hours allowing to to spend time where the mood takes. Weather forecasting in resort will not take into account the drizzle from the mountains with can add a cooling break from the sunshine and occasional rain. Enjoy.

The volcanic pools were closed due to high waves, We learnt at the reception that the best time to enjoy using them is May-October. Aquarium is fine but rather small. We've tried Rooftop Restaurant - great food but not the cheapest in the world. The Beerhouse is a great place in good weather. With rain you are forced to stay inside. Porto Moniz is small with the volcanic pools its main attraction.

Santana is a perfect location to explore the north coast. Not far away from airport and capital, but still on the north. Two hiking starting points are nearby: Queimadas and Achada do Teixeira.
Santana also has an only large supermarket on the whole north coast, so you can buy delicious food right there. No such option in Porto Moniz or Seixal.

Calhetta itself is small and the main part of it centres around the harbour. As you might expect this means that all the major activities are boat-based such as whale and dolphin watching, sailing, fishing, excursions etc. but there are also lots of restaurants and bars overlooking the harbour where you can get a great meal - especially if you like fish - or just relax for the evening and watch the sunset.

Ponta do Sol is a gem for exploring Madeira's levadas, offering both relaxation and adventure. The scenic Levada do Moinho/Nova is located in Ponta do Sol itself, and varied trails nearby cater to all fitness levels, from challenging Rabaçal hikes to leisurely Levada dos Cedros strolls. Ponta do Sol's tranquil atmosphere, lovely beach, restaurants, and relaxed pace allow for post-hike relaxation. The sunny climate enhances levada walks, and the town provides ample hotels, amenities, and tour operators. For a Madeira levada trip, Ponta do Sol's location, trails, atmosphere, and climate make it an ideal base.
