Golden Residence has a seafront location close to Funchal. The resort sits in the foothills of Madeira's mountains, surrounded by forest and sea views. The black sand beach of Praia Formosa is a short walk away and stretches for 2km along the coast. During your stay you can while away an afternoon wandering round the cobbled streets of Funchal's old town. Golden Residence is set in private gardens and has a sun terrace. There's an outdoor pool and indoors there's an additional pool which is heated. If you'd like to cool down with a drink, there are two bars at the hotel, including a pool bar. In the evening, you have a choice of two restaurants, one offering buffet and the other serving an a la carte menu. Both restaurants have an outdoor seating area.

Our thoughts on the Golden Residence Funchal.

Jan 2023 | 412stevee

Very nice and clean hotel with very competent and friendly staff in all areas of service. We did have a problem with our side sea view room which did not have any sea view at all because of trees. The reception staff were very kind and offered a Seaview room at a discounted rate but hopefully our tour operator will meet us half way with the cost......but we'll see. Golden residence food was good with lots to choose from . Restaurant staff were also very efficient and friendly. The facilities like pool and gym and sun decks were good too. The views from the sun deck were amazing especially at sunset. Would come back again if we can. We'll done Golden residence and thank you. I would have given 4.5 if I could.

Another wonderful stay

Jan 2023 | kumavj

We have just returned from another lovely wonderful stay at the Golden residence. We stayed in an apartment in block A overlooking the banana plantations and the sea. The apartments have a simple kitchen which is great for preparing simple snacks or meals. The apartments are simple, comfortable and clean, and a good size for a couple. The only thing that we would say needs addressing is the pillows which were very lumpy and provided little support. There is some construction noise and dust due to the huge building site across the road, so be warned. The views from the hotel are spectacular and the staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast seemed to have an even bigger selection than our stay in April and thanks to the time slots for breakfast was not overcrowded. We only ate twice in the hotel and while we missed the old dinner offer that included drinks , we understood the reason why and the food was still as good quality as before. We were surprised to see how much quieter the dining room was compared to the last trip and wondered if this was caused by the change in the dinner offer. I swam in the indoor pool everyday, usually having it to myself in the mornings. We did miss the booking system for the Sauna and steam room as it was packed full most evenings. we can't wait to return.

Excellent stay in a Wonderful hotel

Dec 2022 | Patrick G

We had a great stay at the Golden Residence Hotel. From the beginning when booking the staff were very helpful and let us know about buses and connections in advance (there are a number of buses running past the hotel as other reviews have said) and this let us plan our stay in advance. The room we had was clean and well maintained, and the balcony was a good size. The setting is incredible with stunning views and everything you need is nearby, including shops, restaurants and care rental. The indoor pool and sauna was great for the time of year (outdoor pool was about 20 degrees, indoor 29). The Breakfast was amazing (we opted for bnb) with a great variety of food and was very tasty. Shout out to the staff again who were always smiling and helpful, with the late checkout option being very useful for us as we had a late flight. 100% would stay again, excellent value for money and a wonderful hotel.
