Hyatt Ziva Madeira

Beautiful location. Splash pool and sauna unfortunately still not ready when we visited. Other services great though. Good selection of bars. In general good selection of food although we found the different restaurant a bit disappointing; it was mostly the same food as the buffet, only presented nicely. Apart from the check in where the reception kept accusing us of booking the wrong room for a family (we didn’t) generally great service.

Hotel is a top notch. All Inclusive with lots of food and drinks

We were well received with staff helping with our bags immediately. Note, if you do want your luggage right away, don't use their luggage service as it is not immediate. Room was large and comfortable. We had an oceanview room with balcony. For the smokers, balcony has ashtrays! Bathroom was large with separate toilet door. Small note, that one of the 2 sinks was a bit backed up. That is truly the only small thing. Staff were polite throughout the resort. Not understanding the concept, it is a resort where you can purchase different packages for food and beverage. As you research take note that Funschal is approx 40 mins away so if you aren't making the commute, look into a more robust dining package. Our favourite spot was the natural saltwater pool. It's like an infinity pool up against the ocean. It fills/filters when the tide is high. Crabs run along the pool edge. On the other side of the pool you can swim in the ocean. At low tide the water is neck deep (approx) and can be accessed via the beach. The food is amazing at the natural pool location. The seafood rice was our favourite. Clayton, the host was very nice. Outside the fact it's a bit far, it's a lovely resort with enough entertainment as well as solitude for days.

We were celebrating my parents 49th wedding anniversary and they ensured we celebrated well. It was difficult booking the à la carte restaurants but once that was arranged we had a wonderful time. Our villa was beautiful and well appointed. The staff really can’t do enough for you; thank you for a wonderful stay. Hughes family

My wife and I stayed at Dreams Madeira for 5 nights and had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. We stayed in a Junior Suite, which was incredibly spacious, modern and very comfortable. The room had plenty of space to relax and unwind, and it really made our stay feel even more luxurious and enjoyable. One of the highlights for us was the incredible infinity pool overlooking the sea. The views were absolutely stunning and created such a peaceful atmosphere. Sitting by the pool and looking out over the ocean felt like something from a postcard and quickly became one of our favourite places in the resort. We also enjoyed the spa, which was a perfect place to switch off and relax. The whole experience felt calming and added another level of luxury to our trip. Everything was clean, well maintained and designed to help you completely unwind. The cocktails were fantastic as well — plenty of choice and made perfectly every time. Whether relaxing by the pool or enjoying the evening atmosphere, having great drinks with beautiful surroundings made the experience even better. The staff throughout the resort were incredibly friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. The food was excellent, with a good variety of options, and the whole hotel had such a relaxing atmosphere. This trip gave us amazing memories and quality time together. We would highly recommend Dreams Madeira to couples and families looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway.

We arrived at night so we could not see the beauty of this resort. After a very long and difficult trip to arrive at the resort, our first impression was how wonderful and helpful the staff was. We were upgraded to the most beautiful villa. We were celebrating an anniversary and the hotel arranged for a private room at the most popular restaurant. They made our anniversary dinner very special. The attention was unmatched and truly appreciated. The resort is truly amazing for those who enjoy excellent food, quiet moments, hiking, ocean activities. The city of Funchal is a 30min ride but worth it. Lots to do and see. We will definitely return but plan on spending a longer period of time to get to enjoy everything the resort and Madeira have to offer.

All inclusive. What else can be said?! Great location. Outside of the city but that’s exactly what we wanted. A couple great hikes in the surrounding areas. Just a very pleasant and perfect situation!
