Porto Santa Maria

TripAdvisor Review
Portugal, Europe
Funchal

The only adult property is located at the water's edge with direct access to the sea front promenade. Behind the hotel lies the old centre of Funchal, the well-known "old town". Its close relationship to the sea, the outstanding and exclusive views over the harbour where the cruise ships dock, its picturesque surroundings and the unique flavours of its cuisine result in genuine urban tranquillity. The hotel’s location is fantastic for both the actively inclined and those who would prefer to relax and listen to the breaking of waves. A congenial hotel offering 146 rooms, restaurant, bars with terrace, direct access to the promenade, outdoor pool, indoor pool, SPA, gym and parking, all in the heart of the city.

Excellent hotel in a great location. Very central. Ideal for easy walkable access to the old town in Funchal. Lots of restaurants. Good bus routes and lots to do and see.

HOTEL PORTOBAY SANTA MARIA FIRST CLASS HOTEL IN FUNCHAL

Have not long returned from the amazing PortoBay Santa Maria. I travelled with my sister and this was our fifth time there. We are always greeted by the lovely people on Reception which is a good start to the holiday. We just love everything the Hotel PortoBay offers. We had such a beautiful Suite which was kept immaculately kept clean. We always book half board as we prefer to eat at the Hotel rather than the Restaurants outside as both the breakfast and Dinners have such a wide delicious choice of dishes. The PortoBay has an excellent Chef and the Waiters and Waitresses are always so welcoming and can not do enough to help anyone from explaining about the different Gourmet dishes that are being served that evening and advise on the lovely wine that is on the menu
