A welcome change of hotel
The staff are so friendly and smiley. The sea family suite is beautifully decorated, spacious and has some lovely touches. The food is also delicious!

We had a great time
We just returned from an unforgettable stay and can honestly say it’s a hidden gem that checks every single box. --- ### 🌊 Unbeatable Location & Views The hotel sits right on the **first line of the sea**, offering a level of tranquility that is hard to find. It’s located in a perfect "sweet spot"—far enough from the hustle of Funchal to enjoy quiet, calm evenings, but close enough that a quick Uber or bus ride puts you right in the heart of the city. **The Highlight:** The sea view is everywhere. Whether you are waking up in your room or enjoying a meal, the horizon is your constant companion. If you time your dinner right, the **sunsets** are absolutely breathtaking. ### 🛌 The Ultimate Sleep Experience I’ve never stayed at a hotel that takes sleep this seriously! * **Modern Rooms:** The decor is fresh and contemporary, but the real star is the balcony overlooking the ocean. * **The Pillow Menu:** This was a game-changer. If you aren't happy with your pillow, you can simply request a different type. They even offer **ergonomic memory foam** options! * **Comfort:** The beds are incredibly high-quality, ensuring you actually wake up feeling refreshed. ### 🧖♂️ Spa & "Sea-to-Sauna" Access The spa area is **free of charge** for guests, which is a fantastic bonus. We loved spending time in the sauna and then having the unique luxury of jumping directly into the sea (or the pool) to cool off. It is the ultimate wellness ritual. ### 🍽️ A Culinary Delight The food at Vila Lido is far beyond standard hotel fare. * **Breakfast & Dinner:** Both are served with stunning views of the water. * **Variety:** The menus are diverse and everything we tasted was delicious. * **A La Carte Excellence:** We highly recommend the hotel’s own restaurant. We opted for the **three-course menus** every evening, and the quality was consistently top-tier. ### 🌟 Five-Star Service What truly makes this hotel special is the staff. They are remarkably **motivated, friendly, and proactive**. No matter what we needed assistance with, they handled it with a smile. You truly feel like a valued guest here, not just a room number. --- **Bottom Line:** We had a spectacular time and are already planning our return to **Vila Lido**. Whether you want to relax by the pool, enjoy gourmet meals, or sleep on the perfect pillow, we cannot recommend this hotel enough to everyone visiting Madeira!

A pleasant stay
The location was great with easy access to local restaurants and supermarkets. Near to bus routes into Funchal and other places of interest. The rooms are spacious, nicely decorated and have an outside space to relax and take in the view. The staff were generally very friendly and helpful. The pool bar staff were lovely, restaurant staff mostly good. Reception staff also mostly good. Housekeeping did not replenish the complimentary coffee/teas which was a little irritating as we had to purchase our own from the local shop. The pool area is lovely and kept beautifully clean. Overall a good stay, despite all the rain!

Pastina Villa Lido
Hotel is located directly on the see side. You see the see and nearly nothing else. Walking distance to (10-15 minutes) to Funchal ( Capitol ). Garden, pool and other facilities are well maintained. Staff is friendly and well trained. The rooms are tastefully renovated, clean, spacious, and well-furnished. The bathroom lighting is a bit dim for applying makeup. The shower and bidet work perfectly. The faucet water flow rate at the sink are reduced for ecological or economic reasons at a level which is annoying. Breakfast and buffet are very good. We enjoyed our stay very much. We will come again.

A wonderful experience - we'd definitely return 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💚
First of all, the full body Rebalance massage done by Leticia was one of the best massages that I've experienced recently. She's also a Reiki practitioner and has wonderful energy about her. ✨️💫🌟💚 I hope I'll get to experience the magic touch of her hands again. Highly recommended. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic right on the ocean front with uninterrupted views (we stayed in the round hotel building on the 6th floor). Mind you, it was rather windy when we arrived so we could feel and hear the howling wind too. 🫣🤣 Our room was spacious, airy, light and cosy. It had a balcony facing west so perfect for watching sunsets. ☀️ Small bottles of mineral water and sparkling passion fruit soft drink are left each day in the room. There was a wonderful "Welcome" hand written card and gifts waiting for us in our room upon arrival. 💚 The breakfast buffet was lovely too with plenty of choice, eg all types of eggs and even freshly to order made omelette, different meats, cheese, salad, fruits, bakery goods, good coffee and pastries too. A wonderful experience overall and we would definitely return here. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💚

Perfect birthday experience
Wow what a fabulous place to stay. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with a smile and very friendly staff on reception, at breakfast and in the restaurant. Our room was spotless and cleaned daily with replenishment of water and soft drinks in the fridge. The view from our balcony was amazing and listening to the sea at night was a lovely calm way to fall asleep in a comfortable bed. On my special birthday a cake was left in our room and a “towel “ cake creation which was left until we departed, a lovely touch. The location is perfect, about a 30 minute walk to Funchal centre or a bus at the top of the road. Reception staff were extremely helpful when we discovered that the cable cars weren’t working giving us advice on how to catch a bus, where to get it and a bus timetable. The pool area was clean and plenty of sun loungers to choose from. We can’t wait to return.
