Hotel Baía Azul in Funchal

Excellent hotel with good value. Rooms are clean and modern. Staff is super friendly. Breakfast is varied, changing every day and very tasty. Pool area is clean and well maintained.

We recommend upgrading to the sea view rooms. Ours was in 8th floor and the view from the balcony was amazing.

Full points well deserved, especially for the price compared to others in the area!

I love this hotel – it's well located, modern, and has very professional and attentive staff (from reception to the bar and restaurant). Definitely worth choosing a room with an ocean view. The breakfast is very good, with a decent selection of cheese, vegetables, and fruit. I'll be back :)

Everything about this hotel is wonderful from the check-in process to the check-out process. I recommend the halfboard. The buffets offer something for everyone. There are also very good restaurants and shopping center within walking distance. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to the marina. The staff is very nice and accommodating. This was our first time here but won't be the last time.

Returned last week from a weeks holiday here at the Bia Azul Hotel. Unfortunately, toward the end of the week, my wife slipped on a wet floor just after entering the hotel, crashing to the ground and breaking her leg. Such a sad end to our week away. She will now be immobile for the next 7 weeks or so the doctors have told us.
Apart from that, what I can say about this hotel is that we had nothing but positives to mention during our stay. The rooms were of a decent size and cleaned daily. A nice veranda complimented the room and proved ideal to sit on an early evening people watching. The cleaners were very friendly and very accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for them.
Each morning we had a breakfast with so much choice and opportunity to sit in a variety of both indoor and outdoor positions. I would actually go as far as to say that the breakfast here is unmatched in any hotel we have stayed at in many a year; absolutely superb. Once again, the breakfast staff were first class. Any request being quickly attended .....with a smile.
We used both the indoor and outdoor pools several times during our stay; my preference outdoor, my wife's indoor. Both pools were at a pleasant temperature. We like to enjoy the sea when in Madeira but due to inclement weather, it was not actually possible as the lido areas were closed and the sea was very rough. Oh well.
The evening entertainment was a broad mix throughout the week. Some we enjoyed, some not so much. We always however enjoy the local folk singing/dancing, all washed down with a Guinness from the bar.
The hotel location was OK but on balance we would have preferred being a little closer to Funchal. We did however take advantage of the free shuttle to and from Funchal. We also walked into Funchal once and returned on foot one evening. A lovely walk actually. We would have done more walking but the weather was against us this time so the shuttle and taxis were our preferred means of getting around. A taxi (Bolt) being only 5 euro each way.
A special mention to the boss of the breakfast team as he went over and above in providing as much help and assistance with a wheelchair and much much more to my wife and her busted leg. Unfortunately I can not remember his name. A special mention also to the girls at reception who were always there with a smile. Thanks

We had a very pleasant stay at Baia Azul in october. Good breakfast, plenty of choices.It's a five stars from us.The hotel has good size rooms, good facilities like indoor pool,gym,plenty of terraces where you can have your meal or relax.
The location is fantastic with great sea views, close to Funchal, bus stop outside the hotel, restaurants in the proximity. Happy to return next time when in Madeira.

I really enjoyed my stay here. We were on the street side of the hotel which I didn’t think I would like but it was fine. Everything is very clean and modern and fancy. Lovely views. Lovely pools. Lovely decor. Beautiful views. Tons of seating and lounges. Nice patios for drinks. Good breakfast buffet. Great location by the water and across the street from restaurants - which are all very nice as wells beds were comfortable. My only complaint is that they charge you for using the safe - never seen that in my life - feels like a rip off to me but we had no choice but to purchase use of the safe. Other than that, everything was excellent.

We loved this hotel, the room was amazing with a gorgeous view, the breakfast was delicious with a wide variety, and the pool area was great. Would definitely recommend!

Very satisfied, good service, good welcome, beautiful swimming pool and beautiful view from the room

The hotel is conveniently located for traveling by car. Almost across the street is a shopping center. There are many shops nearby.
Spacious rooms, huge balconies. Cool varied breakfast with champagne. The hotel has many beautiful photo zones with views of the ocean and the sunrise! Luxurious terrace! Outdoor pool and jacuzzi are not with ice water, we went in the winter without any problems. In the indoor pool, the water is much warmer, but there is a strong smell of chlorine.
Upon arrival, they give out cards for a welcome drink at the bar located in the lobby. It was nice.
Once we went to dinner, which is served as a buffet. But we did not like it. It was not as tasty as we would have liked.
The only negative we found was paid parking in the underground garage! Why not make parking free for guests?
But, I must admit, for a 4 - go stars Hotel is very good! I recommend!
