This is a beautiful hotel in a great location. The area is very relaxing. The walk to the marina is a pleasant stroll and there is a row of good restaurants along the way. The infinity pool was a refreshing treat. The breakfast at the hotel was very nice. I would stay here again.

We had an absolutely incredible stay here! we spent nine nights here and it was nothing short of perfect. It was for our honeymoon and as a lesbian couple, we felt very safe and welcomed here. The Beach Club was THE favourite spot for us. And we recommend getting the Bali bed at least once. the breakfast buffet was wonderful and the treatments at the spa were so relaxing and really made us feel special. We went in the beginning of October and the weather was absolutely perfect. Zero rain the entire time we were here! Only one thing to note that if you are wanting to do tours, most of them come out of Finch so as we didn’t rent a car, we were constantly taking both to and from Funchal so if you can renting a car is nest for seeing the island. Can’t wait to come back one day!

This hotel could be great if the staff cared enough. They were cold and unhelpful. Property is beautiful, and in an amazing location. The pools get busy. The two days we were at the rooftop pool it was Filled with loud, drunk obnoxious people.

The Evening buffet didn’t meet our expectations. It had overdone meat in several different options. The food wasn’t hot and the salads were almost gone. We both didn’t think it was worth the money. The breakfast buffet was much higher standard. Couldn’t fault anything else. Design, staff, cleanliness and facilities were exceptional

We enjoyed our time at this beautiful resort which made a great base for exploring the west side of the island. The room, pools, beach area, restaurants and helpful staff combined for a wonderful stay. We split our time on Madeira between Funchal and Calheta which gave us two different, but equally great experiences and allowed us to more easily explore the entire island.

This was one of the most serene places to stay. The views were unreal, and the breakfast was amazing! The service was top tier too. I accidentally left a few things in my room after checkout, they contacted me within an hour and had it delivered to a Savoy location right by my airbnb the next morning. I would happily stay here again!

This stay was fantastic from start to finish. Arriving at the hotel by rental car was easy, there’s a large entry zone to park your car and check in/unload bags. They added parking for my car at no charge, and the parking zone is immediately to the left of the entrance. Our room was immaculate, it reminded me of a stay at a brand new Secrets Resort in Mexico a few years ago. Large rooms, high ceilings, excellent bathroom amenities. A nice plus is the tv has the ability to show you all the hotel information, along with your current bill. We swam at the rooftop unheated pool and the indoor heated pool. Both were fantastic and very enjoyable. The rooftop of the resort had multiple levels, to which if you keep climbing they have fruit and herb gardens overtop, and a steep rock staircase to a viewpoint well above the resort. I’m not sure if it’s when we were there, or the design of the resort, but everything felt like there was plenty of space, and availability. We never had to wait anywhere, nothing was packed. The buffet changes daily and is great for breakfast and dinner. The resort is positioned in a smaller beach town of Madeira, and has excellent vibes for walking nearby for lunch or swimming. Loved this stay, I can’t say enough about how much my wife and I enjoyed it.

Spent 5 nights here in early July for our mini-honeymoon and it was incredible. You truly get what you pay for with Saccharum. Incredible rooms, very comfortable beds, brilliant breakfast spread and breathtaking views everywhere you look. 2 pools and a private (ish) beach as well. Town and the marina are very walkable with some other restaurant options that are a lot more affordable than the resort. We opted for a full sea view room and was worth it, but didn't pay for the SPE experience and we felt it was fine without, however I can imagine at peak times in late July and early August it might be worth it for access to the 'exclusive' spaces. But for us we didn't see the value of it, other than spa access perhaps. Overall the resort is a massive place with bars, restaurants, and balconies everywhere you look - we're not usually luxury travelers, and for us this place was amazing and we hope to be back one day.
