Had a premium double Seaview room, with a gorgeous view every morning. A welcome gift of wine/sweet treats on arrival, maid service daily, with bottled water and truffles left on the bed. Staff friendly and efficient. Breakfast delicious and lots of choice. Pool bar food excellent. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Perfect location for exploring the area. Lots of lovely restaurants.

Hotel was okay. Service was nonexistent. This is definitely not a 5 star experience hotel. Views were the best part of this hotel. Visited early October and it just felt off from check in to check out. Food was mediocre for the buffet dinner, wouldn’t really bother with it and stick with other restaurants surrounding the facility. Was a bummer because was expecting a lot more from the hotel. Ended up trying to stay away from the hotel itself for the entirety of the 4 day stay with my wife. I would look at other options if considering. Rooms were clean and balcony was nice although they were not quiet.
Very clean, well maintained facilities. Buffet food was good for breakfast. Dinner was just ok. The staff friendly and helpful. The ocean views and infinity poolside amazing
The hotel is great. Some staff need better training. Amenities are great too

The staff is way too courteous in this hotel. Valter made sure that our stay was perfect, and help us book some nice tours.
Everyone was really polite and helped cover the few shortcomings the rooms had.
It’s a wonderful place to stay. Staff are awesome and super helpful. Wonderful views, from the rooms to the surroundings. Definitely worth staying and visiting.

The room was spacious and clean with beautiful view to the sea but the bed mattress was hard as a rock and pillows very uncomfortable.
Very nice resort. Clean and big rooms. Breakfast and dinner buffet with a lot variety of food. During our stay was my wife birthday and the management of the resort surprise us with a cake and a bottle of sparkling wine. The resort is in good central location. Thank you so much Vidamar Resort for making us felling at home.
Lovely 2 night half board stay here. Very clean, staff helpful, 3 pools especially nice, with steps down to safe sea swimming. Food, gym & spa all very good, beautiful sea view from balcony. Only negative was the pillows on bed were hard .
Amazing!! The dine option was nice but the food was typical buffet (not five star). Great location, fantastic views and sea access, lots of beach chairs and terrific pools!
Beautiful location and room - stellar ocean view. Room was clean and quiet. Balcony was fabulous.
Very responsive and nice staff. Breakfast was very good, and dinner dining was above average. Spa services were very good. Great place to chill - since it is so peaceful and tranquil.
Everyone was very helpful and made everything go effortless. The food choices were delicious. I can’t say enough about how well things went for us. Thank you.
Clean, modern, excellent buffet, very good staff. Well located for bus tours and other facilities. Near tourist information office. Good dining options. Hotel facilities are first class.
Downside was that we had to buy our own decaf teabags from the local supermarket as they don’t do decaf tea but do decaf coffee.

This was our third visit to this hotel, but the first for 13 years. As ever the staff and food offerings were excellent, but there were signs of ageing of the property and it needs some updating in some areas.
But overall an excellent holiday in a good location but you do need to allow time and patience if using the local buses into Funchel.
I recently stayed at this resort and I must say, it was a beautiful experience. The resort was stunning and the pool was absolutely amazing. I spent most of my time lounging by the pool and enjoying the serene atmosphere. The only downside was the taste of food which was okay. However, overall, I had a great time and would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
We have stayed at this hotel many times before and the reasons for returning are:
- the amazing views from the rooms (floors 5 -10) out over the Atlantic - every room has sun and sea views all day
- the spa built into the cliff side with incredible ocean views and wonderful relaxation areas as well as the hydro pool
- the sea platform which has a choice of pools and is a sheltered suntrap all day long (we were there in December).
Big hotel. Big rooms. Great pools. Modern, with conference style feel. Remarkable buffet, no need to go up the road and pay extra. Chocolate fountain on two nights. No decaff tea - go next door to the cliff after dinner for that. VidaMar suited us as a great base (we didn’t rent a car), we used bus or booked trips. The ‘west’ jeep discovery tour is a must. Plus all the other go-to places. Walk to Camera de Lobos and get the bus back. Madeira exceeded our expectations.
