We visited this hotel as a family of 3, we have an 11 years old son. We were there during halloween and All saints day. I'll write detailed report of our wonderful stay that was much better in all areas than we expected. Arrival: We arrived by a rented car. The road to the hotel is easily found, you pass neighbouring hotel and arrive behind Pestana Ocean Bay where there is a parking place sorounded by a beautiful vegetation-it was so nice to see all the plants that you usually have as indoor plants, such as Dieffenbachia in a natural habitat and as a huge climbing plant. We always were able to get a parking space, which is free and freely accessible. Location: it is situated directly on the beach. The beach itself is a tourist attraction and i must say that this hotel has absolutely THE BEST location in Funchal! Not only you are able to watch sunset and the ocean 24/7, but you also watch it while you eat your meals. Beach: we went for one swim and didnt repeat it and it was really short. I felt unsafe in the water, like the water is going to pull me away from the beach if i went too far. And the water was not as salty as expected. Also the getting in and out of the sea was tricky. We stayed by the pool mostly, where the sunbeds are very comfortable and the sun area is gorgeus-again observing the flowers, such as Bird of paradise, in its natural habitat. We also loved the abundance of sand lizards playing, they were so cute. Room: we loved everything about it. The design is very thought of, the images of tropical birds on the tapestry, pillows, knobs... The wood of the closet gives a tropical feel as well. All was clean, there we beach towels in the cupboard. We didnt use the kitchenette because there was no need. We didnt use airconditioning, because it was never too warm or too cold. We slept deliberately by widow half closed so we could listen to the crashing waves of the ocean. And the first morning, when i stepped on the balcony, it took my breath away- the birth of a new day, the stillness of the air, the colours of rising sun and the waves, magical. Food: I loved all the food! It was as fresh and home cooked as i would do it at home.. For breakfast i took fried eggs, which were very delicious because they fry them in deep oil, I had also delicious porridge with a splash of Nutella. Lunch and dinner always had 2 fish dishes- tuna steaks, panseared fish, seafood pasta etc. One day there were option to make burgers, beef or chicken. You would get patties, buns and all the fillings. My favourite salad was coleslaw, husbands was string beans. And i must especially mention deserts: signature desserts were custards, creams, puddings. All delicious and even i ate a lot of them, they never left my stomach heavy, such a good idea. By the dinner all the wines were bottled. Staff was very good, quick and discreet. Soft drinks from the automat were: pepsi, pepsi zero, apple juice, pineapple juice, multivitamin juice and water. Plus beer. I also liked th

A group of 12 of us spent 5 days at the Ocean Bay for a 60th birthday. Transfer from airport was only 20 mins which was ideal. Hotel is situated overlooking the beach which is beautiful. All rooms face the sea. Rooms very large and clean with plenty of storage. Lifts to all floors. Sadly no Aircon in the hotel other than the premium rooms on the 7th floor. Plenty of beds around the pool and towels supplied. Pools very clean and close to bar and restaurant area. Daily water aerobics which was great fun! I couldn't fault the food, plenty of choice at every meal. All inclusive drinks were plenty, they never scrimped on the alcohol! Staff were amazing! Nothing was to much trouble. A huge thanks to top bar man Mohammed. This gentleman was a total credit to the hotel. Mohammed helped us arrange the birthday meal - table clothes, cutlery etc. He went above and beyond to make our stay extra special. Bus runs from the hotel to Funchal twice a day. Get to the coach pick up point early as it is very popular. We all loved our time at Ocean Bay and look forward to returning again soon .

We paid a reasonable price through Easyjet and felt we certainly got what we paid for and more. The hotel was pleasant, rooms had no air con and slightly in need of an update but the beds were comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. The outside areas were well maintained and the pools were clean. We went in early October and there were always sunbeds available. The clientele does seem to be mostly older couples at this time of the year but the atmosphere was peaceful. Some light evening entertainment was provided which we enjoyed. The food was acceptable, less choice than we expected but perfectly edible and mostly enough to eat. The location is perfect on the sea front and there are numerous bus services into the centre of Funchal. The hotel offers a free shuttle twice a day but it does fill up fast so either queue early or walk up the fairly steep steps and pay 2 euros for a single journey into Funchal. Take trainers for this purpose if no other!! The front is well lit throughout the night and hosts several restaurant huts. Around 3 or 4 mins walk to the south is a spectacular cave- walk through this to find a sheltered lido and continue up the steps for a coast top walkway with more restaurants. We enjoyed several evening strolls and morning jogs along the front. A good variety of drinks to be had in the bar- Mohammed especially made it his business to know our preferences and have it ready when we walked up! We would definitely return.

I will start by saying I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and I will not be staying here again. The reason for this is because the cons outweigh the pros hugely. If I am spending a large amount of money on my holiday I expect the hotel to be up to good standards but unfortunately this was not. Pros ●Friendly staff throughout ●2 nice pools, clean gardens ●The sea views from the balcony is lovely. ●Location is good as on the seafront. Cons ●The food is below average. There is no variety of meats, no taste, same things served everyday, veg is even served for breakfast, lunch is rice and veg, nothing for children at lunch times. Dessert was boring. We ended up eating out most of the time wasting money. ●The room was very outdated, the bed was rock hard and uncomfortable, fridge smells and was turned off. When I asked reception to help they just told me how to do it but I couldn't work it out so spent 10 days without a fridge (it smelled anyway I wouldn't have used it) , aircon was broken, the bathroom was disgusting and not suitable for washing babies. ●The hotel guests were mainly over the age of 70, felt like a retirement retreat which wasn't a problem but not what we expected. ●On day 7 the hotel staff decided to turn off all the water without telling us for the whole day so no showers or flushing the loo. ●The lift stops every 5 seconds and goes up and down so you spend your life in there. ●If you get to the hotel late in the evenings then there's no parking.

I write this on my last day of a 4 night break at this hotel. Having stayed at Pestana hotels before I was expecting a high standard. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.. The hotel itself is situated in a decent location, just in front of a pebble beach. All rooms have a sea view which is nice. The rooms themselves are fairly old fashioned and probably in need of refurbish but ours was clean and comfortable. The majority of rooms do not have air conditioning (I believe only one particular floor does at a higher cost). There is a ceiling fan which can be quite noisy. The fridge in our room didn't work and was not fixed during our stay. The only public toilets for men downstairs were totally inadequate. The door on the one lavatory available is none existent. Reception staff suggested it was broken off by a guest but didn't appear in any rush to fix it.. Never experienced a toilet with no door in any hotel I've visited before, unacceptable and hugely inconvenient. The all inclusive drink and food packages were very poor overall. I've never experienced such a poor salad selection at lunch time. Very basic. No proteins/meat selection, no cheeses, no pickles, in fact hardly anything.. Almost like we were being rationed. There is an egg station at breakfast, but only made fried eggs. If you want any other type of fresh egg choice you will be disappointed. The overall hot food selections were bland to say the least, and lacked variety. The sweet section consinsted mainly of tasteless blacmanges and basic plain cake. The 'local' drinks weren't the best and didn't even have some of the basic choices that the menu suggested. The only bar and restaurant are in one open area. I find this very odd. The bar and seating area would definitely benefit from a screen of some sort to give it some intimacy.. The pool/grounds are clean and we'll maintained and overall the staff are very friendly. I would definitely come back to Maderia but not to this hotel, and probably not any other Pestana hotels in the future.

The hotel staff were great. Food was good lots of variety and the weather was good for March. We have loved Medeira. Thank you for my lovely birthday cake it was very thoughtful and very tasty. We enjoyed all the trips out of the hotel and got to experience lots of the island.

1. No Air Con , unless you're on the 7th floor 2 .Rooms are dated .. as in 1970s dated . 3 . Broken floor tiles in the room and a bath that I wouldn't wash my dog in , old and stained 4 . Food was average and repetitive, I've never eaten so much salad in my life . I'm struggling to find how this hotel has a 4 star rating ? The gym is a running machine , a bike and some other contraption that are outside the lifts on the 1st floor The games room is a pool table , as in just a pool table And the kids area is a couple of slides or something in the corner ! Good points Never a problem getting a sunbed as the pool was generally empty . Madeira is a lovely place. Lovely views from all rooms . Luckily we went in a group of 12 so we kinda made our own entertainment . Staff were hard working and friendly , Mohammed who worked behind the bar deserves special mention , very attentive and helpful throughout our stay , just glad it was only 4 days . Would I return ? Definitely Not
