Pestana Vila Lido Madeira Premium Ocean

Sitting outside on the restaurant balcony watching the sunrise over Funchal while enjoying the extensive breakfast. The rooms are large, clean and well maintained with a fridge and kettle. The attractive pool area has plenty of sun loungers overlooking the sea. The hotel is situated in the Lido area close to restaurants and a supermarket with easy access to the promenade path for an enjoyable walk along the coast. A few minutes walk up the hill are bus stops to get into Funchal centre and the port. We thoroughly enjoyed happy hour in the colonial style house looking over the well maintained gardens and out to sea. The staff are excellent.

Excellent service staff very friendly food excellent and room great with sea view Best breakfast we have had in a hotel and the evening meal in the restaurant was good value for money and we eat in the hotel restaurant 5 times and all the meals were excellent

Comfortable, clean and spacious room with balcony and uninterrupted ocean views. Good breakfast choices with outdoor tables. Attentive, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Easy access to good restaurants, cafes and supermarket. Well kept gardens

Stayed in the tower which had recently been refurbished. The room was beautiful with a lovely sea view. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for clothes storage. There is a large shower instead of a bath and the bathroom had been well designed. The position of this hotel is absolutely the best feature. You have a lovely pool deck with sunbeds looking out to sea. There is also access to the sea which in the hot sun is welcoming cool.

Exceptional views and such welcoming helpful staff. Buffet breakfasts and terrace superb. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Pool rather cold but it was January and the outlook over the sea compensated. Also a very friendly, good value pool snack bar. The spa area was very small and treatments expensive. On a previous visit a few years ago, before refurbishment , there was a jacuzzi which was very welcome on cooler days in particular. Easy access to public transport to Funchal and pleasant walks along the sea front. We thoroughly recommend this hotel. Special thanks to all staff especially Elspeth.
