Our stay at Porto Santa Maria was made even more pleasant by the friendly and helpful staff. The front desk staff especially Manuela was great and always ready to help. It was very convenient to walk down to the breakfast buffet each day to sip your first days coffee and take in the fantastic views. The pool and various lounging areas were always spotless and well attended. The daily happy hour and music each night made it fun and entertaining. The housekeeping staff were expert in keeping the room spotless and always friendly and welcoming each day. The location was extremely convenient to the many different restaurants and shopping areas. Our sea view balcony was our favorite spot to begin and end our days. We look forward to returning one day.

Very walkable, next door to the cable car, close to everything.

Hotel Porto Santa Maria is in an ideal location, right on the board walk along the harbor, 30 meters to one of the beaches in Funchal, and on the edge of old town with its multitude of excellent restaurants. The hotel itself offers the facilities you would expect of a 4-star hotel. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends.
