Pestana Carlton Madeira

Everything was fine except for it being a bit outdated and the coffee was bad (really need to get a barista and a good coffee machine), but the service was good and everyone was very nice.

Firstly, I liked this hotel. Big room, really helpful and friendly staff (particularly at breakfast) and well located for almost everything. Inside the hotel is a little dated (think 80/90's), but it does lend a certain charm in areas such as the "Tavern Bar". Outside the hotel is really nice, with very well maintained gardens and terraces, lovely pools and pool bar. The indoor pool and facilities are good too.

Staff are fantastic. We got a great, large room with brilliant sea views. (Other rooms seem smaller and some without sea views). Can't comment on food as did not eat at the hotel. Great distance in between Funchal and the Lido. Fantastic restaurants near by

This is a superb hotel - apart from the beds. I hate 2 single beds pushed together. Excellent breakfast and 3 pools including an indoor one. Excellent restaurants and bars nearby and not far from Funchal town.

Just one of the bars on Estrada Monumental, but with very good service and good idea of a decent poncha. This time it was a taste of Moot, a madeira based vermouth. Having something like that on offer is rare and worth compliments.
