A tasteful blend of contemporary and traditional buildings, with our superior block room worth the extra money - larger and with a much better quality lounging area outside the patio doors. A nice, personal sized hotel as a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World group. Breakfast was intimate, uncrowded and orders of hot food came in seconds. The gardens are immaculate and there were ample staff everywhere throughout our stay attending both to maintaining the internal and external ambiance....
Amazing hotel and staff! Very clean and lovely rooftop bar and pool - front desk gave many great recommendations, from hikes to restaurants. Would absolutely stay again! Recommended a parking lot 5 minute walk away that’s only €4.50 per day, so was easy to have a rental car.
Not now my flight has been cancelled . I need to sort out the rest of my trip’s hotel booking abs this dad app will not do anything until I put in a review
All was good, very comfortable bed, lovely and clean, things we topped up when required, our only niggle we had was the lighting made things difficult to read, other than that it was very comfortable.
Recommended for sport lovers that like to spend their time engaging in sports, enjoy an old style small hotel with excellent service. Average guest age fairly high - comfortable hotel around 25 min from Funchal.
Staff are really polite and friendly and also very helpful. The roof terrace has a beautiful view at night.. very well situated. As free breakfast go, the breakfast is 5* in my opinion. Really enjoyed our stay on this beautiful island.
Enjoyable stay at great hotel. Breakfast buffet excellent as were staff. Room very clean and comfortable. Taxis available outside hotel, supermarket across road and variety of good restaurants within walking distance. Would stay here again
The staff are courteous and friendly and helpful. If they were unable to help directly they could always advise where you might get the help you needed.
We enjoyed our stay but did find a big disadvantage that as it was 3-4 miles inland from the express way on very difficult roads you didn't want to go into the town after dark. This meant that you ate in the hotel every night. The restaurant menu was very good although it was the same every night so you eventually ran out of choice. After...
We stayed at this hotel for the duration of our week in Madeira & cannot really find a fault in anything. We stayed on a 'bed & breakfast' basis which suited us well as we didn't know what we'd be doing each day as there is such a vast amount to do in Madeira.
The breakfast buffet was excellent - plenty of different food to select from & relentlessly being topped up by the hard working staff. We stayed in a beautiful sea view room which was spacious & exceptionally clean with brilliant...
Only 18 rooms, all clean and new in a purpose built extension, with large open stairways and lobbies filled with art work. The staff are situated in an office which is tucked away as opposed to a large hotel reception desk in a lobby. They were very helpful should you need them, but it was easy to never see them at all, which gave the impression of staying in private apartments. Personal letters welcoming us and giving information about the hotel were left in our room and the details about the...
We had a very pleasant stay in the Melia last week. The staff were friendly and very helpful Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and there was always a chef on hand to make something if it was not already on offer.
The hotel is nicely situated with an indoor and an outdoor pool. These are very well looked after and towels, sunbeds and umbrellas are available. There are plenty of restaurants of a good quality within walking distance of the hotel. Reid's Hotel is also...
This was our first trip to Madeira, and we found the hotel lived up to our expectations in all ways. We were unable to have a sea view, but looking out from our 18th floor room across part of the town, which was beautifully lit, and the mountains, was so lovely that we didn't close our curtains, just so we could look out if we awoke in the night. A joyful experience that we hope to repeat at some time

We have stayed in Funchal many times and Pestana Promenade is one of the best hotels for accommodation and location. There are many excursions from this area as well as local buses which stop very close to the hotel and take you anywhere on the island including an airport service which is great if you are travelling light. The cable car is an enjoyable trip to the top of the island with the chance to visit the renowned botanical gardens.
The apartment was in a very central location, only a few moments away from the main shopping mall in Funchal, and coffee shop almost on the doorstep. There was a kitchenette, washing machine and ironing board provided, and all useful utensils provided (even sachets of oil for using the frying pan).
Check in was simple with the use of door codes. We had quick responses via WhatsApp from the company and all our questions were answered.
Our flight to Madeira was diverted and we ended up having to...
We were sent the codes for the apartment doors the day before we arrived, unfortunately we had a problem with our door but it was all sorted within 30 minutes of sending a message to them via hotels.com the restaurants that were nearby were excellent, there is a great little pizzeria downstairs, a Portuguese restaurant Londres in the same road and another left out of the apartment buildings and then left again and it’s on the right corner opposite the gardens. All amenities in the room were as...
