The grounds are beautiful. The breakfast and dinner buffet was delicious. You get a really good deal with this resort. The rugs and indoor areas such as indoor pool and jacuzzi are a little dated. Over all 4/5 I would return.

What an amazing property. This hotel was one of my favorites throughout our family trip of 10 days around Portugal and Madeira. We were given a suite with pool and ocean view. The rooms were spotless clean, comfortable beds with fluffy pillows. One of the best breakfast buffets we have experienced. The staff was very friendly and professional. Located near restaurants, natural pool, shopping mall. Highly recommend to stay at Porto Mare Bayport when visiting Funchal.
