Just back from the most wonderful holiday. Our first visit to Madeira and the Monte Mar palace. We stayed for all a week all inclusive and had the best time. The hotel is wonderfully situated with brilliant ocean and mountain views. We watched three brilliant sunsets during our stay and enjoyed some great walks from the hotel. We stayed in room 213 which had a great view of the ocean. At night we slept with the balcony door open listening to the sound of the waves, so tranquil. The room was clean with plenty of storage. The food served exceeded my expectations. I’m a vegetarian and usually struggle to find much choice on an all inclusive break but there was something on offer every mealtime Parmagana, sweet and sour veg, curry, cauliflower cheese, pizza and pasta. Plenty of fresh fruit and veg. Breakfast had lots of choices too. The staff were brilliant- professional, friendly and helpful particularly in the dinning room. The outdoor pool has the most wonderful views and was surprisingly quiet. The hotel was pretty much full when we stayed there but the pool area was always relatively quiet with plenty of sun beds. A good size outdoor pool I enjoyed a few lengths in it early morning. The hotel offer you a poolside towel for a returnable 10€ deposit. I took advantage of this, it’s nice to have a fresh towel every day. I didn’t use the indoor pool much as the sun was shining but I loved the jacuzzi which had a good sea view too. All in all a brilliant holiday.
