We had a lovely12 days at Pestana Grand and received an upgrade our 1 bedroom apartment was amazing. Hotel is in a peaceful location and most rooms which were very clean have sea views. Hotel has some good restaurants & shopping mall nearby. Regular bus service into Funchal or you can take the beautiful promenade walk into Funchal stopping a the many cafes & restaurants en-route. We have been to Madeira for many years it’s a beautiful & very clean island and the Levada walks are a must you never know what you will see on the many stunning walks.

Another wonderful stay at the Pestana Grand ,we love the location at the quiet end of the resort and it’s a nice one hour stroll into the centre of Funchal along the promenade with lots of lovely sea view coffee shops on the way. Food was great especially the lovely fish dishes our favourite meal was the in the Madeiran restaurant wish it was open more than once a week. The staff were all very friendly and helpful .The view of the ocean and the sound of the waves from our room is fabulous. Can’t wait to return.

Great location right on sea front promenade. Too far to walk into Funchal but local bus very handy. Outside spaces are lovely and huge outdoor pool but it is not heated so no good for our December stay, indoor pool is tiny, not much use at all. Staff are attentive and helpful. Fabulous views from sea front rooms and good sized patio with very nice chairs/loungers. Beds and pillows are not very good and towels are very worn and tatty. WiFi is poor. Food in the self service buffet is poor and served barely warm. Not recommended. There are three al la carte areas, we tried the Italian it was terrible, like a supermarket frozen lasagna. The moroccan was better but had only two choices of meal. Food is nowhere near five star. Generally very disappointing hotel, other four star hotels along the prom we have found much better. We would not stay again.…
