Suite Hotel Eden Mar - PortoBay

We had another marvellous holiday at Suites Eden Mar and the Porto Bay Resort .
Staff are so friendly , helpful , informative and always go that extra mile from daily housekeeping to Alex ; an inspirational Manager . Alex could be seen by guests and staff , checking in with everyone .
Elizabeth works so hard in the main restaurant as does the head chef and his team .
The pool team are constantly on hand .
The garden team are just the very best with stunning gardens , including a kitchen garden , over flowing with flora and fauna.
Eden Mar has some lovely restaurants close by Indian Palace , Solar D’Ajuda, Lido Tavern , Corner Store Touristica are our favourites. Walk a little further towards Funchal and you will find X Tonel and Avista too .
There is a very high quality super market underneath the development…Pingo Doce . Another store is opposite Lido Tavern .
We also recommend a walk to The Forum for shopping treats .
Local Taxis are best picked up outside the pharmacy / boutique shops and will take you north to The Forum or into Funchal Town .
Eden Mar staff are on hand to help you enjoy your holiday
We are already looking forward to our 2027 holiday ….

The Eden Mar Hotel in Funchal is now our hotel of choice when visiting Madeira. We would not go anywhere else.

We had a brilliant stay at Eden Mar in April 2026.
The staff here are exceptional and couldn't do enough. They thoroughly entertained our 3 year old.

We were on a bed, breakfast and evening meal basis. The breakfast and evening meal buffet were great with tons of choice of great quality.

It's ideally located on the Lido and a short bus from the centre of Funchal.

The gardens are amazing too.

We'll be booking again for April 2027

Would highly recommend this hotel, both for the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, the facilities on offer (including gym and mini-golf) and the location.

Hotel room, facilities and staff we’re amazing as usual!

Cet hôtel est magnifique, Idée très bien située dans le founchal. À deux pas de plusieurs restaurants, d'un supermarché et des arrêts de bus. Il y a aussi tout autour des agences de tours opérateur qui vous permettent d'aller faire des excursions. Un personnel souriant est toujours à l'écoute. Le petit déjeuner est bien. Les piscines sont toujours très propres , Vous avez aussi des piscines intérieures chauffées.

Three family groups shared another perfect holiday at the Vila Porto Mare. Nothing is too much trouble and our family whose age range is from 2 to 74 were able to relax because of the friendly staff, the excellent variety of food and facilties on offer and the easy accessibilty to pools, restaurants, gym and garden.

In an often troubled world it remains a peaceful and happy haven

Great complex, good facilities, nice Junior Suite, nice personnel, everything was perfect!
Even a nice supermarket around the corner.

Really good hotel in all aspects especially the staff who were just brilliant total focus on making sure your holiday was a great experience

Excellent Hotel, great location for shopping and Funchall...good food and staff with a good range of activities....very good quality evening entertainment

Excellent food and very helpful and kind staff.

Hotel grounds, view from the room, the pool.

This was our 4th stay at Eden Mar, and as usual it did not disappoint. Our Junior Suite was very comfortable and the bonus for one of us was the availability of a blanket instead of a duvet. Not everyone loves a duvet..
The location of Eden Mar is also what we like. Buses to Funchal centre are available 100m away, as are the on-off buses. Restaurants all around, the Lido very close and Pingo Doce supermarket more or less underneath the hotel.

It has to be now, nearing 30 times we’ve stayed with the Porto Bay group on Madeira. That has to tell you something !

Really special hotel. Gorgeous gardens. Great pools. Super friendly staff.

Location and sea view. Hotel parking and numerous pools and the spa. The territory is very beautiful.

Very nice hotel for the value; very good staff, good food, big room. Fairly basic in terms of furnishings hotel + room but clean. A lot of shade till end of the morning/ early afternoon but you can walk and use the terrace, garden, swimmingpool at Portomare/ Suitehotel (actually 1 complex). Busstop in front of the hotel and 3 busstops away from the city center.Don't miss the Parcue de Santa Catarina! Free parking at the site of the hotel is really difficult because of too many cars and too few parking places but no worry. You can easy park at the blue zones on the street ( 0.60 cent/hour-max 6 hours/day, 8.00-20.00 , saturday > 14.00 and sunday free parking). Paying with coins. Or use the more expensive underground hotel car park (10 euto/day). Tip; Carwave rent-a -car in the Eden Mar shoppingcenter. Very nice and pleasant service and no hidden sell of insurance. Good food in Il Basilico and the Irisch Pub at the Lido. Bananas at Zona Velha serves good food and the restaurant is situaded at a nice old square. Take your warm clothes to Madeira in april too. Especially when you go on daytrips to the center and the North of the island. We had a lot of rain, clouds, fog and wind and also in Funchal it was chilly when the sun was gone. But overall enjoy the beauty of Madeira!

This a a lovely hotel set in beautiful, well kept grounds with very friendly staff.
We have visited 3 times so far and will return again I am sure.
