Pestana Palms

It was the best hotel I have stayed! The staff is super nice, starting with the ones from to reception, the bar and ending with the pool bar lady. The room was very spacious, clean, the beds very comfortable. They also have a pillow menu, so if you don’t like the default one go for it and ask for another one at the reception! The location and view from the rooms were also magnificent. The bar also is in a very interesting looking building, separated but near to the hotel. All and all, if you have any doubt about the hotel, go for it! Tip. There is a large supermarket across the street from the hotel where you can park your car for only 4€/day, so you don’t have to use their car park which is more expensive.

One of the best hotel experiences. Beautiful and well equipped and decorated rooms. All facilities well functioning. Nice restaurants and the cherry on the cake; staff is extremely friendly and professional. Local bus connections are okay. Thank you Palms! 🙏 CU.

Pestana vila lido was chosen as our hotel on our first trip to Madeira. The friendliness & helpfulness of ALL the staff, location of the hotel made our holiday very special. Our large room 802 was quiet, overlooked Funchal Harbour and the ocean. Listening to the waves day & night was relaxing. The room was clean and the beds comfortable. The fridge provided in the room was useful. The pastries on arrival and a platter of fresh fruit midweek in the room was a nice touch. The pool area was well maintained. Plenty of sunbeds available and umbrellas. We enjoyed access to the Sauna & Steam room. Direct access to the sea was great, either by steps or jump if brave enough. The breakfast food was fantastic. So much choice, we especially enjoyed the fresh fruit the cooked eggs and the lovely pastries. We stayed 2 weeks and always a pleasure to go to breakfast. The hotel location was quiet & away from the road noise. A lovely scenic walk along the Lido promenade. Funchal not to far away either by walking or catch a bus from the top of the hill. We would definitely stay at the Pestana Vila Lido again with Fernando and his team.

Wonderful place - fresh water pools plus step access to the great Atlantic! It gets VERY busy on hot sunny days. Go on a cloudy day and it'll be very peaceful. Go! I loved it

Wow, the first hotel we're staying that's in the ocean, huge rooms, incredible views, breakfast with plenty of choices and quality food. Staff so far very friendly, parking on premises and huge supermarket across the street. Pool is decent also with staircase to swim in the ocean also. Ok, I got a negative comment too - the Internet could be better and not set up free like in the airport.
