Pestana Promenade Ocean Resort Hotel

The staff is friendly, the room is a good size and everything was clean. The room has a mini fridge, slippers and robes. They also provide pool towels. There is a cleaning service everyday and they change all the towels, including the ones for the pool. The bed was not the best as it was quite hard and had a spring mattress. We enjoyed the indoor pool, the jacuzzi and sauna. We haven't tried the outdoor pool as we only spent time there in the evenings. The breakfast was good. I'd come back as it was a nice experience overall.

Extremely friendly staff, were attentive throughout our stay. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely return.

We had an absolutely perfect stay at Pestana Promenade! The rooms are lovely and spacious. The only thing that bugged me was the big arch blocking our view of the sea partially. A few rooms have this problem. The staff are amazing, especially the cleaning ladies who do a wonderful job and are very kind. Amazing staff in the restaurant as well! Thank you Pestana, we will be returning for sure!😀

This was our second stay at the hotel and it didn’t disappoint. Every member of staff, no matter what their role, were exceptional. They were professional, yet friendly, and always able to help. They went out of their way to ensure my parents were happy with their vegetarian needs, and spent much time helping us choose our tours. The Island tours are a fantastic way to see everything, or you can get a bus outside the hotel into Funchal then to whenever you need. We found the taxis were reasonably priced too. The hotel outdoor and indoor pools were great, as well as the spa services. All set in beautiful grounds with easy access to the promenade. Breakfast had ample variety with so many bread choices, pastries, an omlette station, fresh fruit, ham, cheses etc. Some nights had fun entertainment with Madeiran dancers and BBQ, good Singers and a quality Karaoke night. The bartenders were happy to make you any cocktail if they had the ingredients, in addition to their extensive list. Our room had a huge super king bed and awesome seaview from our 6th floor balcony. Once again, what made the two weeks were the wonderful staff. It was great to see the Hotel Manager helping the staff and he was always friendly. We particularly want to thank Salomé & Flipe (our favourites), Lina, Tito and Rui in Reception; Fatima, Ana, Tania, Ivone, Claudia and Andrew in the restaurant. Them and others really made time to speak with us and help us have the best time. Thank you again.

The dining options were a disappointment. After our first buffet dinner was poorly done we chose to only eat our prepaid breakfast onsight. Internet in the room was extremely unreliable and my husband had to go to the business center to use his laptop. The bed was very hard and uncomfortable. On the positive side, the staff were pleasant. While outdated, the rooms were clean.

Be careful while booking this property. The property does not offer double/Queen beds as advertised on some booking sites. Property has nice views with a good pool. Location is a bit far to the center if you're expecting to walk. Rooms are spacious but seem a bit outdated and beds are not comfortable. Amenities closing hours are quite early. Hotel seems to be likened by much older age group. You would expect better service for the price you pay. Property has lots of potential but seems owners don't want to invest in it. I do not recommend this place.

Excellent trip. Stayed 4 days andvreally enjoyed. Madeira is beautiful and the Pestana is a great base fir exploring or relaxing. Excellent rooms with sea views and dining options great
