Fantastic hotel in beautiful surroundings
Just finished a week in the Baia Azul with my family. It was a fantastic stay from start to finish. The hotel is kept to a very high standard and the staff equally as impressive. Special shout out to Marisa on reception who was very friendly and helpful during our stay. Would love to come back!
Superb hotel
Fantastic hotel in a stunning location. Rooms were clean and comfortable, lots of areas to relax throughout the hotel. Lovely outdoor pool with lots of sun beds available throughout the day. Food was excellent with plenty of choice available. Staff were consistently polite and helpful, but must call out Gregório Ramos who was a superstar in the restaurant…such a delightful young man! Would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Excellent hotel. Will definitely be back!
Location is fantastic. Five minute work to shops, restaurants and activities for the family. Fantastic atmosphere. Evening entertainment is brilliant. Great to sit out each evening and to experience the music and dancing. We had no issues with noise levels at all. Rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, clean and a stunning view. Value for money. Service is excellent. Staff cannot do enough for you. Reception staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Food was fantastic every day. Fresh fruit and vegetables and so many gorgeous dishes to try. Compliments to the chefs. The waiting staff never stop. One staff member who stands out is Gregorio. Always friendly, welcoming and checking if we’re ok, extremely helpful and he just never stopped working and smiling. Excellent service and we will definitely be back!

4.5 ☆ A Really Nice Hotel
I've been very fortunate to have travelled extensively and stayed in many hotels. The Bahia Azul fully deserves my 4.5☆ rating for its facilities, staff, and location. I did not stay in a Seaview room, which would have been nice, but I can't complain about my room that had all the creature comforts (apart from a supply of coffee). I was B&B, so I can't comment on evening meals, but breakfast was good with a full range of hot & cold foods.

Room for improvement
Spacious, clean and well maintained hotel just on the outskirts of Funchal. But don’t worry there is a complimentary coach service to the city centre or local transport. We enjoyed the pool area and none of this business of early morning towels being put on the sun beds - there was plenty of room for every one to enjoy. Look out for the secret entrance that takes you to the promenade. The rooms are all the same just what you prefer sea view or view of the main road which is marketed as Mountain View. Down side was the Evening entertainment usual out on the sun deck so no avoiding them and they were loud. Only good point was the traditional Madeira folk music dressed in traditional costume that came on during the intermission and then back to the dreary entertainment. The breakfast was on the lower floor with plenty of seating. As vegetarians the buffet was limited. Overall we were disappointed and felt it was over priced for what it was though we booked through Jet2 who weren’t interested in our feedback to them.
