Pestana Ocean Bay

We had an amazing time on our beach holiday, and staying at this beautiful hotel just added a lovely touch to the experience. The staff were very polite and helpful, the atmosphere was fabulous, with fun activities to engage the guests. We went from the swimming pool to the spa, from dining to late night live music, etc. Special thanks to the reception staff who were always willing to help.

Perfect location, right on the Atlantic Ocean, with lots of local restaurants and pubs close by. The room was very comfortable, clean with a great view of the coast. The reception team was very kind and helpful. Big terrace with sun beds. Breakfast buffet was really good, very good drinks at the bar right at the entrance. Definitely recommended Pestana Vila Lido Hotel.

Great amenities, amazing staff, delicious food!! -- All around a great experience for me and my daughter while we spent Easter in Madeira. The location is perfect -- close enough to the downtown core (10 min by car), close to nearby villages that we knew we'd be visiting, and a great central base to tour all corners of the Island. Complimentary parking, which was great too! Loved that the hotel is down at ocean level -- we walked out of the resort and onto the water. Lots of little beach bars and restaurants nearby -- not that we needed it as the resort is all-inclusive with food and drinks flowing all day and into the night. Great stair access up the mountain just 200 metres from the hotel, so you can easily get to the main street if you don't have a car -- there are many more shops, restaurants, and other amenities. The Pestana staff are especially great -- always happy, kind, and mindful of your experience with them -- they make you feel special and we felt pampered the whole time; we will be back for sure with the rest of the family!

The service is truly what makes the whole stay. From the moment you walk in the hotel even at busy times, they make you feel like you’re the most important person! I arrived very early and without requesting they gave me breakfast and made sure I was comfortable right from the beginning! It truly felt like the employees loved working there and genuinely cared for their guests.

lactose free and plant based milk. variety of meat, vegetables, fruits and carbohydrates. soup was lovely but for my taste needed salt and pepper. no complaints regarding the food quality or selection and everynight was different. only thing is if you aren’t a fan of fish (i am) for most of the week we were there that was predominantly on offer. there were burgers and steaks, chicken drumsticks and turkey often. salad bar was good too. hotel is located just outside of funchal centre but free shuttle bus to and from hotel and centre. staff are helpful. self serve beer is very watered down but that’s as expected and it doesn’t taste horrid. cocktails are good just disappointing there are 3-5 cocktails which incur and extra charge. rooms are comfortable, large and all sea view. bathroom LOOKS outdated in decor but modern appliances. overall great hotel especially considering the price. travelled: 6/6-13/6/25
