Hotel Baia Azul

Adoramos tudo na estadia! Desde da receção com um miminho, do quarto muito espaçoso e confortável e uma vista incrível, do pequeno almoço diversificado e saboroso, até às piscinas e áreas de spa perfeitas para relaxar um bocadinho. Excedeu as nossas expectativas.

Spacious, clean and well maintained hotel just on the outskirts of Funchal. But don’t worry there is a complimentary coach service to the city centre or local transport. We enjoyed the pool area and none of this business of early morning towels being put on the sun beds - there was plenty of room for every one to enjoy. Look out for the secret entrance that takes you to the promenade. The rooms are all the same just what you prefer sea view or view of the main road which is marketed as Mountain View. Down side was the Evening entertainment usual out on the sun deck so no avoiding them and they were loud. Only good point was the traditional Madeira folk music dressed in traditional costume that came on during the intermission and then back to the dreary entertainment. The breakfast was on the lower floor with plenty of seating. As vegetarians the buffet was limited. Overall we were disappointed and felt it was over priced for what it was though we booked through Jet2 who weren’t interested in our feedback to them.

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Madeira staying at the Baia Azul hotel in Funchal. The hotel is in a beautiful location with stunning seaviews (although do book a high level sea view room for the best view). There are two lovely pools (indoor and outdoor) and plenty of nice spaces to be. There is entertainment every evening and if you want to go out to eat or drink there are bars and cafes close by.
All the staff are friendly and helpful and work so hard to make sure guests have a great time.
However a really big thank you goes to Mario, Cesar and the waiters and chefs for accomodating my dairy free diet. They made sure that there was always something lovely for me to eat. When you have allergies/intolerances it is often hard to eat away from home. The kindness of everyone at this hotel will not be forgotten.

Fantastic place to stay if visiting Madeira. Had to drive to most places but parking on site was relatively cheap and the hotel itself was awesome.

This is a great hotel in a good location just outside of Funchal. We had a balcony room with a truly fabulous sea-view; ask for a room on the higher floors to really appreciate it.

The hotel itself is clean and spacious with a good bar and reception area. It was November when we visited so didn't go to the pool but in summer it should be fine for sunbathing. As for location, walking into Funchal is easy and if you fancy a longer walk you can get to Camara de Lobos where there are some excellent restaurants.

We felt the buffet was a little limited and lacked variety although there was plenty of food so you won't go hungry. The drinks service was very good and we enjoyed the cocktail selection. Entertainment was a bit dreary - why do hotels assume everyone over 60 wants to listen to old crooners? - although we were treated to a very good Madeiran singing/dancing troupe.

Overall we had a very good holiday at the Baia Azul and would definitely recommend it as a base to explore the area.

The room was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Das Zimmer mit Blick aufs Meer

Great hotel, very clean, no problem getting sun beds, breakfast had everything you could ask for. Pool towels provided. Would highly recommend. Across the road 3 restaurants that were very good. Bus stop outside hotel nos 1 & 2 takes you to Funchal only 2euro 5 cents- really lovely relaxing holiday.

we could not fault this hotel
rooms were good the hotel staff friendly breakfast excellent with lots of choice and everywhere really clean the decor is quality flowers in the reception area were amazing I have stayed in a few 4* hotels this one has got to be the best more like a 4*+ or a 5*

Lovely hotel, amazing from the moment you step through the doors..rooms were Lovely, bed was massive.

Facilities were good, food was tasty, fresh fruit, meats, cheeses, hot foods and breads, eggs, sausages, pancakes, crepes, etc for breakfast.

Storage for your luggage when you have a late transfer too.

Could not find fault.

Area was quite too. Nice walk from there to Funchal.

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is perfect — just far enough outside the busy centre to feel peaceful, but still only a short walk from the main town. It really gives you the best of both worlds.

The staff are incredible, especially Valerie, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after throughout our stay. The rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The entertainment is very smooth with a lot of good artists performing of an evening.. our Fave was Hot Cross Buns and the Local dancing troupe who offered something different and exciting

A huge plus for our family was the gluten‑free breakfast options, which made mornings so much easier and stress‑free. It’s rare to find a hotel that caters so thoughtfully for dietary needs.

Highly recommended — we’d happily stay again.

Nice hotel within easy access of the city centre. Nicely decorated throughout with clean ,comfortable rooms.The staff are generally friendly and professional and the communal areas very pleasant inside and out.
The evening entertainment is of a good standard and this hotel is ideal for families and couples alike. We will most certainly look at staying here again .
