Enotel Lido Madeira

We had an 'inclusive' package, so took advantage of the food and drink. Meals were buffet - plenty of choice and delicious. No tea / coffee in room but you can ask for a kettle. Staff friendly and helpful.

Fourth time at this fab hotel. Fabulous food and drinks. Spotlessly clean and staff are extremely cheerful and helpful. Went to the Italian themed restaurant this time. The food was superb and authentic (and we've eaten in Venice, Florence and Sorrento). Just out of the rear gate is the promenade with many nearby bars and restaurants if you fancy a change. So good we've booked again for April/May '25. Well done!

Overall, our experience was positive. The staff was kind, and we enjoyed the variety of food, especially the special dinners. However, there are some areas that could be improved. The indoor pool area was very noisy with many children, making it less relaxing. It would be better if the hotel had someone supervising guests to ensure they follow the rules—such as not jumping in the pool or walking into food areas in just swimsuits. This would help maintain a more respectful and comfortable environment for all guests. Additionally, the first-floor area became very slippery due to guests walking around dripping wet, which is a safety concern; we even saw a few people slip. Lastly, we overheard a manager speaking harshly to employees in front of guests, which seemed unprofessional

The Hotel itself is quite large but kept very clean and tidy, The rooms are nicely kept and a good size. Staff are polite and courteous, the evening entertainment is very good, not much entertainment during the day. The food is good but not a 5* , if you eat later in the evening some of the dishes are not available, it should be available if you eat early or late , plus the 3 speciality restaurants are only available on certain days so if not staying for a week you will miss out on one or two of them. All in all a nice place to stay but there is some room to be Top Notch.

I’d rate our experience a 3.5 out of 5. There were aspects that were great and others that unfortunately missed the mark. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The dinners at the 3 restaurants on site offered a nice pre-set dining experience and we were pleasantly surprised all three nights. The buffet was fair. The drinks from the bar were pretty good and you have access to a self-service tap for beer and soda. That said, I too was a bit confused, as I’ve noted on multiple other reviews, with regard to the 5-star rating; I happen to agree with these reviews. I see the last renovation was in 2012 and wear and tear is definitely starting to become apparent. The nighttime entertainment was a little tacky and seemed targeted for older guests compared to targeting a wide range of guests. We were quite disappointed in the fitness center. Weights are weights, but for a 5-star experience I had expected much higher quality. Some of the machines were quite dated or broken; there were no cleaning wipes; men’s toilet was not working; it just felt very unkempt. Overall, our stay was mostly satisfactory. Would I stay here again? I’m not sure; if you’re looking for a more luxury/romantic 5-star experience, I would probably look elsewhere.
