Madeira's a great spot to vacation and we thoroughly recommend the Pestana Grand Ocean Resort. It's in a quiet location - about 25 mins drive from the airport, so no flight noise and far enough away from the cruise ship dock to be impacted by their daily arrival - but still convenient for Funchal via bus or walking along the promenade. The staff were great and very friendly/helpful, the room we booked had a fine ocean view and was spotless. We'd certainly stay there again.

Good all around resort, if a little quiet and sedate for some. Could use another seafood restaurant nearby instead of a couple of miles away. Maybe not charge for every little thing. Still, we had a good stay.

Great location. We walked the Lido everyday to Praia Formosa and we walked one day to Funchal (60 minutes). We also used the Yellow Hop On Hop Off bus which had 2 stops really close to the hotel. The staff could not be more helpful. Ask for a west facing room. We had a lovely ocean view, but could not see sunset from our balcony. No problem, easily seen from the pool area.

Stayed here during Christmas. The hotel is a little away from the city but probably has one of the best views. Lovely walking trail by the sea just as you walk out with some places to eat and tons of bars. We decided to go to Madeira during Christmas for its Christmas market since a lot of the other places are known to be closed on Christmas Day. The hotel staff is AMAZING and very helpful. They helped us arrange our excursions and we could not be happier. We were a large group too and they accommodated a lot of our requirements. The hotel is a little old and could do with a little upgrade. In all we had a great stay but given when we were there wished we had chosen something closer to the city of Funchal. Overall good hotel if views are what you are looking for.

We particularly enjoyed the outdoor pool area and the hotel generally was lovely. The buffet restaurant was poorly organised for easy flow of guests. It was good to have alternative options. Some staff were excellent; others were possibly still being trained. If we asked for coffee, we needed to remember to ask for cups too! Our sea view room was beautiful and spacious. Please get rid of the plastic mattress protectors though - so uncomfortable.
