Dreams Madeira Resort Spa & Marina
Designed in the style of a Portuguese village, this expansive Hyatt hotel with buildings scattered up a hillside has a large choice of restaurants, four pools, and a lovely pebble beach. Light and bright guest rooms decorated in white and wood come in a range of configurations from double garden view to family ocean view, which sleeps four, and family deluxe garden view, which sleeps six; all have balconies and good-sized bathrooms with rain showers. The property also has four swimming pools, including a kids’ pool, an adults-only pool, and a natural sea pool. Guests won’t go hungry with seven à la carte restaurant options, including Japanese, grilled meats, French, and Mediterranean, plus a buffet restaurant and an ice cream parlor. You’ll also find a number of bars throughout the hotel, including poolside and beachside. If the stairs up and down the hillside aren’t enough exercise, the 9,700-square-foot spa includes a good-sized gym, along with a heated indoor pool, steam room, and sauna to soothe tired muscles.
