The staff could have been a bit more informative upon our arrival about the hotel services, like laundry and housekeeping. We had to figure out some important information ourselves and take the initiative to ask. Also, the restaurant menu was slightly pricy, and our dinner not as delicious. Still, the (free) breakfast buffet had an appreciable variety of good food which we really enjoyed. Also, our room was rather big and comfortable. ##### Eleni Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Alex 19 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities Claimed to have sent VIP wine to the room and when confronted the staff wanted to double check with maid and we never heard the result.

My room was spacious, balcony was massive and private (I think all the rooms have balconies but some balconies are smaller and less private, my room no. was 816). Very clean and nicely decorated. It's so close to the beach that you can hear the waves from the room which is heaven and if that's not your thing the doors are soundproof. Best view I've had in a hotel (just the ocean). It's about 15 mins to the centro by bus, the hotel has a free shuttle service and the bus stop is just outside with a regular service. There is a black sand beach in front of the hotel, really pretty. The food was good, varied. Restaurant near it is worth a visit. If you are covid cautious, this place is for you. They take it very seriously (e.g. disinfected my suitcase on arrival, disinfected salt shakers when setting the table etc.) and it sets a good tone in the hotel e.g. ppl don't get in the same lift. They take your temp at check in and having masks, gloves and gel is mandatory (they made me buy gloves as I didn't have any). I felt very covid safe here. The only negative was that the service wasn't great. Only met 1-2 nice people on the front desk and otherwise, I found the staff to be a bit abrupt, questions about activities were met with responses about QR codes. Professional but not overly hospitable. There are steep gradients to the hotel and pool/beach! Overall my stay was super relaxing and I would certainly stay again. ##### Aneeka Stayed 1 night in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Tânia Maria 10 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Tânia Maria Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Carlton-Madeira-Ocean-Resort-Hotel.h14327.Hotel-Information) > > [NEXT - Savoy Signature](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-NEXT.h71119006.Hotel-Information) > > [Sentido Galosol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Sentido-Galosol.h922319.Hotel-Information) > > [Calheta Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calheta-Hotels-Calheta-Beach-All-Inclusive-Savoy-Signature.h1056570.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Funchal Oldtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Barcelo-Funchal-Oldtown.h83695546.Hotel-Information) > > [Savoy Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World - Savoy Signature](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Savoy-Palace-The-Leading-Hotels-Of-The-World-Savoy-Signature.h32089418.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Madeira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Madeira.h3891890.Hotel-Information) > > [Eira do Serrado Hotel & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Curral-Das-Freiras-Hotels-Eira-Do-Serrado-Hotel-SPA.h3763068.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel do Carmo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Do-Carmo.h1663920.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana CR7 Funchal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-CR7-Funchal.h15737408.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Savoy - Ocean Resort - Savoy Signature](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Royal-Savoy-Ocean-Resort-Savoy-Signature.h1193965.Hotel-Information) > > [Vila Galé Santa Cruz](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Vila-Gale-Santa-Cruz.h1376009.Hotel-Information) > > [Quinta Splendida Wellness & Botanical Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Quinta-Splendida-Wellness-Botanical-Garden.h1069030.Hotel-Information) > > [Three House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Oudinot-Suites.h49024024.Hotel-Information) > > [Sé Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Se-Boutique-Hotel.h19531083.Hotel-Information) > > [The Views Oasis - Family Friendly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Four-Views-Oasis-Hotel.h918495.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Quinta da Penha de França](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Quinta-Da-Penha-De-Franca.h8025695.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Ferreiros](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Apartamentos-Ferreiros.h55419170.Hotel-Information) > > [Saccharum Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Calheta-Hotels-Saccharum-Resort-Spa-Savoy-Signature.h10225046.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Mar Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sao-Vicente-Hotels-Monte-Mar-Palace-Hotel.h1187176.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Madeira - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Palace-Madeira.h4813351.Hotel-Information) > > [Palheiro Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Palheiro-Village-Golf.h3868173.Hotel-Information) > > [The Vine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-The-Vine.h2163062.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Casino Park Ocean and SPA Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Casino-Park-Ocean-And-SPA-Hotel.h14349.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Porto Santo Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Porto-Santo-Hotels-Pestana-Porto-Santo-Beach-Resort-Spa.h1889090.Hotel-Information) > > [TURIM Santa Maria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Turim-Santa-Maria-Hotel.h39013081.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Casino Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Pestana-Casino-Studios.h20165195.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ocean Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Funchal-Hotels-Hotel-Ocean-Gardens.h2591201.Hotel-Information) > > [Rocamar Lido Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Rocamar-Lido-Resort.h1734024.Hotel-Information)
