From the moment we walked in to the hotel foyer we knew we were going to have a good time. The staff were ALL very helpful. It was particularly helpful that the staff wore badges showing what languages they spoke. The rooms were very bright, clean and comfortable, and the standard of daily cleaning was excellent. Breakfast in the main... more

The rooms are OK, only thing is that the stuff didnt fill our mini bar, there was only one drink in it and this didnt changed... more

Through our agent we had booked a seaview room. However, upon arrival it was clear that this actually meant that the hotel had a seaview. We questioned this and the hotel were very obliging and offered us a lovely corner room with a side sea view, which was perfectly acceptable. The hotel is in a lovely position, out of Funchal,... more

Like others said here it's a Grand hotel but with small issues to solve. The rooms were large with very good conditions but lacked better TV set (old ones) and the mini-bar/water they provided had huge prices compared with others. The breakfast was excellent with the possibility of having it by the pool. The SPA was good but pool's water... more

This hotel is a nice base to visit Funchal. As the weather was not always sunny we used the indoor pool and facilities. The staff were very helpful and cheerful. We hired a car for two days to see more of the island. We did not eat at the hotel as pricey, so chose a different restaurant each night, some... more

We really liked this hotel. It is quite a walk into Funchal, but there is a free minibus transfer, although this stops in the early evening. It was fairly quiet whilst we were there, so not much choice in the hotel restaurants, there are a variety of restaurants, but they only had 1 open each evening. The Morroccan was good.... more

We stayed at the pestana grand over Christmas and it was very good. The Gala dinner was excellent as was the carol concert and the violinist prior to that. The wine never stopped flowing and the staff were very attentive. However the Christmas Day dinner was very dissappointing for the cost 30euros. -- it was unappetising and looked like left... more

As has been mentioned before this is certainly not a five star , I think they must rate the Pestana Group Hotels themselves ! Having said that , the hotel communal areas were of a high standard and the staff friendly. The room was adequate but the television was antiquated - and being forewarned by previous reviews ,we took our... more

Great hotel, very nice & clean rooms. Massive breakfast (including sparkling wine). Well worth the upgrade to sea facing balcony. However, don't book any activities through the hotel. They are building a time share nearby and I saw a 'tour' going through the hotel lobby as a sort of model of how the new time share building will look. I... more
