Suite Hotel Eden Mar

We’ve just returned from a wonderful stay at Suites Eden Mar and, overall, had a fantastic holiday. The standout feature has to be the spectacular views across the Atlantic – waking up each morning and sitting on the balcony looking out over the ocean was simply breathtaking. The entire complex is immaculately maintained. Everywhere you look, there are staff cleaning, gardening and keeping the hotel looking its very best. The pool area is particularly beautiful, with plenty of space to relax, and despite the hotel being busy, we never had any problem finding sunbeds at any time of the day. There is a basic gym with fairly old equipment, also a bonus was the 2 heated pools - absolutely fabulous. Breakfast was superb, with an enormous choice to suit all tastes. From fresh fruit and pastries to cooked options and made-to-order omelettes, there was certainly more than enough variety to keep everyone happy throughout our stay. The only real downside was the cost of eating and drinking within the hotel itself, to us they are showing preference to guest oh half board by allowing them to upgrade to à la carte for a small supplement where if you’re on B&B it’s the full whack. A prime example is the garden BBQ at €40, never has a BBQ been worth this add the expensive drinks and you’re in for €200 for a buffet BBQ. We paid almost €100 for three very basic pizzas at their Basillco Restaurant. The drinks prices were equally eye-watering, with draft cola costing €5 and mocktails priced at €11. It did feel as though families with children were being hit particularly hard by these prices. There are some wonderful restaurants in the resort, but if you want to eat on complex, prices are significantly higher than those you’ll find on the nearby high street restaurants and bars That said, the hotel itself is excellent, the facilities are first class and the cleanliness and stunning location make it a place we would happily return to.

Pros...grounds were very clean. Rooms are spacious and the balconies are very nice. Noise level was very good, quiet even. Location is good in that it is central to sea area. You can walk to downtown or a quick bolt ride. Breakfast, the only meal were had at the resort, was typical. At breakfast, Ricardo was outstanding...friendly and kind. Cons...aside from Ricardo, the staff was very cold and unfriendly all over the resort. The gym, one of the main reasons why we select a hotel, was very old and in room that looked like it was from 1960 (not matching the rest of the hotel).

We have enjoyed our staying at this hotel on Madeira. Very nice and clean hotel, beautiful garden and friendly personal so we will see us again..

Highly recommended hotel. Large rooms with good facilities. Gardens and grounds beautifully maintained. Great gym and pools. Happy hour a great time to enjoy some cocktails.

Lovely hotel, with the use of all facilities across the 3 different hotels. Food was exceptional, we would highly recommend ll Basilico. Staff were friendly and helpful. Located just a short taxi ride from Funchal Marina, would definitely recommend the his hotel

Having visited Edan Mar For 26 years, we love everything about it. Excellent position, just out of town. All portobay hotels have a very high standard of working. Each room and suites at the Edan Mar are sea view. Saying that the staff, are so friendly, so helpful and knowledgeable, it is like visiting old friends. There is easy transport, reasonably priced taxis, very cheap bus rides , cabel cars up to Montand botanical Gardens. So many restaurants to choose from in and out of the hotel. Excellent breakfasts, catered for everyone. Would always return.

Every member of the staff took really good care of us and made it easy for us to just relax and enjoy the holiday. The room had good air condition and a great ocean view from the balcony. Breakfast was also really nice with good service. Overall the hotel was a really pleasant surprise to us that exceeded our expectations.

We had a fabulous stay in this hotel, our stay coincided with both of our Birthdays, and a couple of requests I made for my partner were happily dealt with by the exceptionally helpful Reception Team - Thank You again 🙂 Our junior suite on the 5th floor was lovely and spacious and very comfortable and it was kept spotlessly clean by our lovely housekeeping ladies. The hotels do cover quite a large area, but we tended to stay by the Eden Mar pool as it was nice and quiet and never felt overcrowded. We took our breakfast in the Eden Mar restaurant for the same reason. The grounds are fantastic with hundreds of flowers & plants all labelled and kept immaculate. The little orchid garden was lovely too. The Eden Mar had a really calm atmosphere which was like a little oasis of tranquility in a very busy Funchal. We just loved everything about our stay and will definitely be returning when we come back to Madeira. Thank You Eden Mar 😊

Stayed for 10 nights in June. Weather perfect. Our junior suite was excellent if a little tired decor wise. The pools here are fabulous and never crowded. Wish children were only allowed to use children's pool. Babies in the main pools not ideal. Only had breakfast as lots of great restaurants locally. Food is good and omelet to order. Portobay hotels are great and discounts given for regular guests. Wanted to book for September but hotel full unfortunately.
