Dreams Madeira Resort Spa & Marina

The property is very big. We stayed in one of the sea view suite rooms and it was lovely. The room was really big and had the most fabulous view of the sea from the balcony! This is like a small village with own swimming pools, restaurants, shops, parking places, the marina, bars, promenade, beach and even church!! Perfect for a quiet holiday. If you are looking for nightlife this isn’t the place for you. We enjoyed the sea pool and terrace during the day and were lucky to have some good weather! The surrounding area is fantastic for hiking. We had a hire car for the week, which was a great way to see the island, and to get to the hotel from the airport. A nice thing was that we were greeted with welcome drinks at reception. The staff and service were very helpful and friendly.

Quinta do Lorde resort was fantastic. It surely exceeded our expectations even for a short stay. We wished we would have booked longer. They allowed us to check-in early upon request, offering friendly service accompanied with a welcome drink. They also were so nice as to upgrade our room without request or charge to a beautiful sea view room. We couldn’t have gotten luckier with our stay. They also offer a number of pool amenities along with a private stone beach. The marina was one of the best parts with a little market and the BEST diving center in Madeira. You never really need to leave the resort.The only improvement could have been the food. It was by no means bad food, but not as traditional tasting as other restaurants in Madeira. We would definitely recommend this beautiful but quiet getaway!!!!!

Very nice Resort with a beautiful view from some of the rooms over they bay or little harbour. However the staff (especially the older ladies at the restaurant) is not really polite. The younger staff is very kind and willing to make your stay a great experience. Very good location to start a hike to the east end of the island and to rent a kayak tour to paddle the bay.
