Quinta do Lorde Resort, Hotel & Marina is a four-pearl oceanfront resort at the eastern end of Madeira. It's long 30-minute drive from Funchal, but the atmosphere is quiet and relaxing. Facilities are excellent, with multiple pools (including an ocean-fed infinity pool), a marina, spa, seasonal kids' club, and six seasonal dining and drinking options. However, there have been some complaints for iffy buffet food and disappointing all-inclusive packages. The 143 sharp and spacious rooms include mini-fridges, free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs, and some have balconies and/or sea views. Travelers wanting to be closer to Funchal might consider the Pestana Casino Park Hotel down the coast, which has similar rates and adds an Oscar Niemeyer-designed casino and indoor pool.
