Alto Lido Hotel

"Wonderful stay at Hotel Alto Lido! We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Alto Lido! The hotel is very well located in the Lido area of Funchal, making it a great base for exploring Madeira. Our room was absolutely enormous, very comfortable and had a lovely sea view. We stayed on a half-board basis and were really impressed with both breakfast and dinner. The buffets were incredibly varied, with excellent quality food, plenty of Portuguese flavours and something different to enjoy every day. We particularly loved the Madeiran-themed evening! The hotel itself is beautiful, tastefully decorated and very well maintained. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were lovely, the rooms were cleaned to a high standard, and all the staff were friendly, attentive and welcoming. We also really enjoyed the evening entertainment. Although there aren’t many activities specifically aimed at children, the hotel is definitely family-friendly. The only minor downsides were the slightly expensive drinks at the hotel bar and the low water pressure in the shower. On the plus side, the hairdryer was excellent! Overall, a wonderful experience and a hotel we would happily return to. Highly recommended!"

"We chose this hotel via Jet2 holidays. Our main consideration was price, location and star rating. Overall we would agree with both the Trip Advisor and Jet2 ratings. It's a nice hotel, location is outside of Funchal but that is good as away from the busy areas and although we can only comment on the breakfast, the food was good and a good selection. The hotel is very clean, staff friendly and pool and sun terrace was also very good. I do have a couple of grumbles which would make our stay better. The first being, in this day and age, it is in everyone e interest including the hotels, for guests to be able to lock their valuables in a safe, safes are provided but the hotel charge you €15 euros per week to use it, most hotels theses day offer this free. The second is the cost of car parking, the hotel charge €15 euros per day, this is almost the same cost of hiring a car per day. There are plenty of good restaurant close to the hotel and a good food supermarket just 50 meters away where you can get drink, lunch etc, they also have a in store cafe for a cheap meal. The sea front, there is no beach is a short walk down hill where you will find two or three Lidos, but the down side, it's all up hill on the way back. There are also plenty of tour shops and reps close by, we used Sunrise tours, just 200 meters away, they also were very good. Overall a really positive stay."
