"Right from our arrival the staff took care of us. Buffet closed at 10pm and we arrived at 945. They took us to the buffet and told us not to worry, our bags would be in our room. As the week went on we enjoyed the amenities of the hotel. Lots of great activities to do at the resort including local drink making, art, yoga, tai chi, meditation, exercise classes, tile decorating. Food was outstanding. Never been to a resort where the food was so good. Al a carte options were awesome. Buffet was incredible for breakfast lunch and supper Weather was so good. 19-22 degrees daily. The pools were cool but refreshing in the sun. Tours around the island were easy to book. And fun to do. We did jeep tours of the northwest and northeast part of the island 2 separate days. Pickup and drop off were at the hotel. Super simple. Super fun I would recommend dreams hotel and the island of Madeira to everyone who enjoys top notch food, kind people, and wonderful scenery. A hikers paradise as well. We will be coming back. Dreams hotel was so great."

"The amenities and the location is wonderful "

"Excellent short stay in an upscale hotel. Wonderful friendly staff. Very tasty breakfast with good selections. Comfortable and updated room. The hotel smelled new renovations which were obvious in the corridors and bathrooms. Would highly recommend."

"Right from check in to check out, everything was fantastic! The staff, especially, Nadia were friendly and very helpful. We had made a decision to arrive 3 days early to Madeira and when we arrived, our driver (booked by the hotel) was waiting at the airport, check in was seamless and we were able to upgrade our first 2 nights in order to stay in our room for the full 5 nights. Location was perfect, lots of dining/entertainment options within steps. And downtown Funchal is about a 40 min walk but well worth it. We used Uber as well a few times. Nadia went above and beyond - we were on our way out to dinner on Saturday evening and asked about renting a car the next day and when we got back, everything was arranged for us for the next morning. The breakfast buffet was great, usually busiest between 915-945 but they were still adding fresh and hot items each day just before 10am. Many options! The rooftop bar was fabulous for a sunset cocktail - bartender was awesome! The pool area is lovely but it was too windy/chilly for us to use it. We also didn't take advantage of the spa. Top notch service and comfortable beds!"

"Loved it got a free upgrade. My adult daughter and I enjoyed the pool, breakfast, gym and other facilities. Did the Madeira tasting evening which was yummy, with plenty of food, and wine, well worth it. Car park was a little tricky required reversing in, if arriving back later in the evening, but that added to the adventure of the holiday. Thank you "
