With hotel's to suit all budgets, Funchal is the place to be.
Say hello to Funchal
Funchal, in Portugal's Madeira region, is the capital city and the heart of the island. It's long been a big hit with British holidaymakers, and English is widely spoken as part of the warm welcome Madeira residents offer. Adults can sample the regional Madeira wine and take a winery tour in Funchal. For the kids, the city's numerous beaches and play areas are the places to be. Families love the Lido at the water's edge, with two seawater pools that are cleaned daily. The biggest beach, Praia Formosa, also has Blue Flag status. In the evenings, Funchal's restaurants give you the choice between traditional Portuguese food and international cuisines such as Italian, Indian, Argentinian and French. Anyone who wants to stay out and see the city at night is well catered for. Funchal has a number of bars and clubs that are open until around 7am the next morning.
A really enjoyable week in Madeira. The hotel is excellent in all aspects, from rooms, staff, location and facilities, it cannot be faulted. Would definitely go back in the future.
This is our third visit to the Pestana Casino Park Hotel and, on each occasion, we have been impressed with the staff, the cleanliness, the restaurant, the beautiful spa and pool, together with the very private balcony looking over the ocean.

Best hotel I have stayed in. The children’s club was the best ever, loads of space for them in fact a whole floor if the hotel with bouncy castles 15ft trampoline, darts, football table, archery, dressing up clothes and arts and crafts just to mention a few. It was all inclusive and everything well presented.

A stunning hotel!! My room was 915 overlooking the sea a real birthday treat. On the day of my birthday the hotel left me a surprise box of chocolates. A lovely touch. Thank you. Buffet breakfast was one the best I’d experienced. When I return to Funchal I will stay here again.

In the course of my profession in international sales of medical equipment, I have stayed in many, many top class 5 star hotels on every continent. I can honestly say that this hotel ranks with the best in terms of customer service, comfort and location.
On arrival lady on reception very welcoming and helpful. We were disappointed that we had not been given a room with sea view as requested on booking and were on ground level with garden view, however the receptionist relayed our disappointment to day two receptionist who managed to find us a first floor room with view, which made very happy customers.
The Hotel was Ultra Modern, clean, facilities were excellent (our favourite was the Rooftop Bar!) - not to mention the Staff were all excellent, friendly and welcoming. We couldn't have wished for any better!

Fantastic hotel with amazing staff!
As a woman stay at the hotel alone I can honestly say I have never felt safer. All of the staff were helpful, polite and went out of their way to make your stay special. The rooms were spotless as were the other facilities. My favourite part of the hotel had to be the heated indoor pool!!!
Pleased ant surprise as pictures when we reserved were outdated .
Nice and friendly staff rooms renovated pool side and with amazing view . Excellent value for money .
Our flight delayed and our airlines put us on a “5 star hotel /casino “ and Baía azul “4 star “ by far surpassed quality .

Always a warm welcome, clean comfortable rooms with a mini fridge. Tourist menu is only €9.90 and is unbelievably good value for money, I would visit the restaurant in Residential Monumental or their other restaurant across the road Granny's House as the food is excellent.

The hotel is spacious and very clean. Our room was large and the beds comfortable and large. We ate lunch at the pool bar most days as the food is great and good value. The breakfast buffet caters for everyone and very covid conscience. We had dinner out locally every night as there's plenty of restaurants nearby. This is our second visit and sure will not be our last!
Good day,
3 rd stay, room 304.
It is GREAT. We have stayed at 5 star hotels on the Beach front, but why pay 6 star prices, when Pestana Palms is JUST GREAT.
Staff well groomed and Friendly.
Break fast GREAT.
We General eat out.
No reason, but to Venture.
Just Enjoy.

We have had several holidays at the Miramar and we love it so much that we are also owners here.On this visit we were one of the first to stay after reopening following Lockdown.and we were very impressed by the safety measures in the hotel especially in the restaurant.
