Excellent place to stay in Madeira
I had a fantastic experience at the hotel. Everything was impeccable for its class category. The food was amazing. The general cleanliness of the hotel and its facilities was brilliant and the staff were really really helpful. I really couldn’t fault this place at all.

Nice hotel but could be better
Nice hotel but could be better. The first few days of our stay there was no music or atmosphere around the pool. All you could hear was people knocking plastic glasses over all day as they were everywhere! No one was clearing them up. 3 days in though this changed and there was more service around the pool and some music. Adults Game in the pool which was fun to watch.
The sunbeds are a bit on top of each other which can feel a bit claustrophobic depending on where your sat although there wasn’t ever a shortage which is a good thing but they could do with spreading them out a bit. Some people did save their subbed early and didn’t get to them until lunch time but you could always find beds which is nice and made the mornings feel more chilled.
There’s an indoor pool set back from the outdoor pool which was great for the kids, allowing them time out of the sun but still able to see them.
Food is nice although the wait for the pasta is soooo long, having to queue for that every night for my daughter, then get in the queue for my own food spoilt dinner times. We didn’t get to visit the à la carte restaurants as it was just a set menu and no kids menu option. Every other hotel I have stayed in with à la carte has always had an option for the kids so the adults can enjoy this option.
The kids loved the kids club in the evening although when we popped up there to check on the kids, there was no one on the reception stand but and anyone could just walk in or out as well as the kids easily being able to wander out!
There’s some lovely restaurants and bars just around the corner for a change of scenery.
All the staff are very nice and friendly, cannot fault them.
The gym is very basic with no air con!! Not sure if some refurbishment is going on as the gym isn’t where the sign posts are showing so maybe this is a temp room.
Overall we did have a lovely stay but wouldn’t say this is a 4plus or 5 star which is noted on official website

Fantastic hotel
Lovely hotel, clean tidy. Excellent food and drink choices. Great indoor and outdoor pool. Plenty of sun beds available all day. My two children aged 6 and 11 enjoyed the kids club room and loved the pool table and dart board. It was a very relaxing holiday. Would happily recommend. Well done !

What a great experience we had! ❤️
What a great experience we had! ❤️
This hotel is absolutely amazing. Let’s be clear — I am high maintenance and very hard to impress 😂, but this hotel really did impress me. I honestly don’t think I was upset or disappointed even once during our 12-day stay, which says a lot!
🧹 Cleaning
The hotel was spotless everywhere. The housekeeping team seemed to be cleaning all day!
We requested our room to be cleaned every day simply because I like to be spoiled with fresh towels and a beautifully made bed every day. And every single day, our room was absolutely spotless.
The housekeeping team even found out that it was my birthday and left fresh flowers in our room. Such a lovely and thoughtful touch! 🌸
🍹 Bar & Restaurant Staff
We usually stay for around 12 nights, so it was lovely that the staff started recognising us and, especially, our daughter. They made her feel so special.
The morning staff even remembered our usual drinks — how amazing is that?
They also came around the pool offering drinks, which made everything feel so relaxing and luxurious. The service was genuinely fantastic.
🧸 Kids’ Club
The kids’ club staff were amazing. They clearly genuinely love children, and on the very first day they already remembered my daughter’s name.
This was the first holiday where my daughter actually asked every evening, “Can I go to the kids’ club tomorrow?” 😂
She enjoyed it so much, and that gave us some lovely time to relax too. Thank you to the whole team! ❤️
🍽️ Food
I am a very fussy eater, so food is usually not something I judge a hotel by — mainly because I don’t eat a lot of different things.
But everything we tried was fresh, clean and tasty, and my husband was absolutely in heaven! 😂
💆♀️ Spa
The massages were SO good. I would definitely recommend them to everyone.
🏋️♀️ Gym
If I had to suggest one improvement, it would be upgrading the gym a little — perhaps adding some kettlebells and more weights.
🎤 Entertainment
We really enjoyed the entertainment programme. Even karaoke night! 😂
And let me tell you, I personally think karaoke is absolutely horrible… but somehow, I actually enjoyed it! The programme was great, and the singers were fantastic.
❤️ Final thoughts
Overall, we had such a wonderful experience. There was genuinely nothing that left me disappointed during our 12-day stay.
We are already planning to come back next year.
I even said to my husband, “Why do I have to go somewhere else if I already know this place works and is this good?” 😂
Thank you to the entire team for such a lovely stay and for making us feel so welcome and looked after.
See you next year! ❤️

Excellent hotel, needs a few tweaks
We have returned home from our third visit! We loved it just as much as previous visits and were greeted in our room with a bottle of prosecco after requesting a specific room for our 10th wedding anniversary.
Our holiday overall was just as good as previous visits (reviewed previously if you want to read!)
Something which would have improved our experience this time around is enforcement of rules in and around the pool. We experienced people smoking and vaping around the pool which I don't agree with, particularly as someone who suffers with asthma. Also, some behaviour in the pool wasn't challenged for example a group of boys accessing the (very popular) aqua gym, and using the foam noodles to smack each other rather than participate in the session. We also saw a group of people taking wine glasses of poncha into the swimming pool and lining them up on the 'infinity' edge of the pool. I reported this, but they still continued.
A suggestion I would make is for the pool area to receive deeper cleaning as it was extremely slippery around the edge - 2 adults fell over requring first aid and then hospital treatment, within 10 mins of each other!
I can't base my rating on the behaviour of other guests, however I am basing it on the lack of anything being done about it!
Everything from my previous reviews still stand, but on this occasion I felt standards had slipped in comparison.
Two things I have to mention - the food still remains absolutely amazing, the best we have ever had on holiday. And finally, our waiter, Shyam, who remembers us from last year, is one of the loveliest people you could ever meet. Always had our drinks waiting for us at breakfast and dinner, and was very friendly with our 6 year old, who said "I'm going to miss Shyam when we go home!"
Thank you Enotel Lido, we will return!
