This hotel boasts stunning ocean views and offers a delightful dining experience with a variety of meal options. The staff is exceptionally friendly and always willing to help, making guests feel welcomed. However, the outdoor pools can be quite cool, and the dining at the alternative restaurants has some room for improvement with limited menu variety. Overall, it's an excellent choice for a relaxing getaway in Madeira.

I had a varied experience at the hotel, with some highlights like the stunning ocean views and friendly staff. However, the dining options were quite disappointing, especially for vegetarians, and the state of the rooms left much to be desired. While the pools and facilities were nice, the overall dining experience could definitely use improvement.

Our stay at Vidamar was absolutely delightful, especially with the stunning ocean views and various pools to relax by. The room was spacious and well-kept, adding to our overall experience. Breakfast was a highlight with plenty of options, although keeping the food warm could use some improvement. The convenient location made it easy to explore Funchal, but the dining experience at one of the restaurants was less than ideal due to weather conditions affecting our meal. Overall, great value for our family getaway.

While the dining experience had its ups and downs, the buffet provided a decent variety, although the temperature could have been improved.
