This was our first time to Madeira and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Pestana Carlton hotel in Funchal. It was beautiful. The hotel was very clean and made you very welcome. Our sea-view room couldn't be better. It was spacious, very clean and had good views. The restaurants in the area were very well situated for us. The... More

This hotel was fabulous, restaurant just great, our room clean and spacious. The staff very friendly and helpful. Could not ask for better. Very close to city centre, public transport was just across the road. I'll be back.

I cannot fault anything. We had an amazing holiday. Fabulous sea view suite, amazing service and friendliness. All in all it was brilliant. Our sea view room was excellent with lovely views around the bay of Funchal. I would have appreciated more variety of fruit selection at breakfast, but this is a personal taste.

We could see from Reid's Palace Hotel round to the cruise terminal. The hotel pool and gardens are beautiful. The hotel excelled themselves by helping my wife and I... More

Normally we spend vacations in Spain and other European countries; in March, however, we went to spend a week in Funchal. This was our our first visit to a great island. We saw, of course, the capital and all the local sights, but, even better, we enjoyed a trip around the island with mountains, green valleys, small villages and, not... More

We stayed at the hotel for a week (April 15 - 22) as part of a package holiday. We upgraded to a suite and weren't disappointed. I know people say you don't spend a lot of time in your room but if you can afford it then it is worth it. We were on the 14th floor with a fantastic... More
