Pestana Casino Park

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooftop pool with its stunning views and the beautiful infinity pool were definitely the highlights – perfect spots to relax and unwind. The spa is lovely, offering a truly relaxing experience, though it could use more seating when the weather isn’t great. The gym is well-equipped, but I did notice quite a few mosquitoes, which was a bit distracting. Aside from that, everything else was top-notch. The staff was incredibly friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall ambiance was perfect for a getaway. I would definitely come back!

We stayed in this hotel during the beginning of July and we had the most amazing time. The location of the hotel is amazing, walking distance from the city centre and great parking options. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping was great. We loved the extensive breakfast buffet and the beautiful pools. We would like to give a special thanks to Antonio, Rubina and Jose who skilfully worked at the bar and made sure our nights were filled with good drinks and friendly service. The friendly service especially as we noticed that our fellow hotel guests weren't always as nice to them as they should be but they handled it professionally, great job! We will be back someday :)

This is a lovely hotel, great location! Yes, the rooms can be a bit old, but the multiple pools are a winner! The breakfasts are excellent, the lunches are great! The employees who make the cocktails are the best! I enjoyed everything very much! I will be back thank you to the bar worker, good health to your family

We were there while hotels were recovering from Covid, so things may have improved since. Many facilities hadn't reopened since the pandemic. Public areas were good, even impressive, but guest rooms and corridors were run-down and drab. Food in restaurant was unimpressive buffet, and you had to pay extra for coffee after dinner. However, staff were unfailingly polite, friendly and helpful. Really hope it has improved, as it has the potential to be a great hotel

I've given an overall rating for this hotel of 4 stars purely based on the fact that the rooms and I can only assume some of them could do with a refresh. I understand that the Pestana Group want to keep the hotel as near to the original design by the Brazilian architect with the dark wood etc. but this can still be achieved incorporating a paint refresh and little tweaks in the room. Could do with more sockets in the room and more coat hangers. Hair dryers need updating. Please be aware that there are no tea/ coffee making facilities in the room but are available if you ask house is keeping for them. Robes are also available from housekeeping. None of the above will put me off staying here again. We have stayed here many times, the public areas are really nice and plenty of outdoor seating areas but above all the location is five star. Plenty of nearby eating places, a two minute walk to the park which leads you into Funchal. Amazing views of the city, even better at night when the whole mountain side looks magical with all of the lights from the houses twinkling. Fantastic view of the port where you can sit in the hotel pool bar area and watch the cruise ships come and go. Will be booking to go back next year.
