Pestana Royal

Enjoyed our week at Pestano Royal immensely. Service, food cleanliness was very good. A few improvements could be made to warrant 5 stars in all areas we felt but overall a very nice hotel. Lots of choice in restaurant, healthy options too. The Mediterranean night was a little disappointing and also the Italian restaurant not that great to be honest. We booked a couple of trips through hotel during our stay which we enjoyed but could have been a little better informed about attire I.e good footwear, jacket or pullover and definitely a rain coat. The weather changes a lot during trip.We had to buy rainmacs as it rained heavily during our trip. Apparently rain is very common on the East coast trip,we were not informed when we booked. So good tip is to set off well prepared. The West coast is drier! and very beautiful to see. Also valley of the nuns is amazing too. Madeira did not disappoint!

Beautiful hotel and even lovelier staff. We stayed for seven nights. Close to Funchal, Uber cost us only €6 to take us to town centre and the hotel offers a free shuttle twice a day. The only negative for me was the damp smell in the cupboards and the cupboards did not have enough shelves. However there were drawers around the room which helped. The shower was in the bathtub and wasn't too great neither. Other than that, the location is beautiful, the staff very friendly (This was a huge plus), Halder at reception was a super star ⭐ and gave us plenty of information about tours and the hotel, really helpful young man. The food was tasty and well made, wish the choices were slightly different but all in all it was good. Pools were great and we had sun loungers regardless of the time we went down. The place has a lot of nice extra touches that add to the positives. Definitely would recommend but if they just sorted the damp smell in the cupboard it would have been perfect.

We have had a week's stay at Pestana Royal and have enjoyed our experience. The staff have been great - friendly and welcoming. We have enjoyed the food in the main restaurant and in the 2 themed restaurants also . The bar staff have been fantastic especially down by the pool. Thanks to Bruna and the other entertainment staff who run the pool activities. The have been great.

I got here a few hours ago and I am already really impressed with this hotel. The room is spacious with a balcony, mini fridge and large bathroom, we also got a complimentary bottle of maderian wine which I thought was a lovely touch. The service is really good, everything was explained to us at check in and information was provided. The service at dinner was also exceptional. The buffet had a lot of variety and was really tasty. I am looking forward to the rest of my stay.

Choosing to stay at the Pestana Royal was a good decision. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. Good food, great views and an all round relaxing ambience contributed to an enjoyable experience. When the above comments are coupled with the ease of access to both Funchal in particular and the island of Madeira in general, due to the hotel's position, we have the recipe for a fabulous break.
