Pros:

The hotel and surroundings were beautiful and staff were lovely. We had a standard room, which was sizeable, however I was disappointed by the lack of storage space. Very few areas to store clothing meant clothes remained in the suitcase, and the space for suitcases was very poorly lit. This was frustrating as I could not easily select clothing and had to resort to the flashlight on my mobile phone to see inside of my case. A few extra drawers would have made my experience much better, and this seems such an oversight for a five star resort.

Pros:

A 5 star resort , great spa too. Indoor pools, hot tub and steam room were serien. Our massage therapist was knowledgeable and friendly as well.
The main outdoor pool is massive and water warm. The breakfast buffet is outstanding . The staff were always polite and spoke various languages fluently. Our room was very large with a terrific shower. I loved their optional pillow selection as well. The cleaning staff folded our clothes too daily. A nice touch. There are plenty of great restaurants close to the hotel, all reasonably priced and served up good food options. Overall I’d recommend this facility.

Beautiful classy property. A premium price to pay but this property feels ‘worth it’. Breakfast was memorable and high class. Grounds were beautiful and nice big gym facility. You will not be disappointed when you stay here. Make sure to book ocean view! You will not regret it

Awesome stay! Very friendly and professional staff from the room cleaning staff and throughout the hotel. Always felt welcomed and staff happy to serve/help in anyway. Ocean view and pools below...great vista. Unfortunately, a little noisy in late hours 2200-2330h a few nights from a particular bar off the hotel grounds but...we travel with ear plugs. Loved our room... luxury. Room service prompt.

Pros:

As the top hotel in the area the biggest issue for me was the customer service. The hotel is beautiful and rooms are stunning. You have everything you need and more. Gym needs a bit of improvement and better lighting. But the worst was the poolside service. Several days people were trying to chase down servers and ask for drinks/food. Nobody is around to serve you and when you ask, towel guys can’t help and say it’s a normal complaint. The service at the root was extremely rude and slow too. Again, hotel is beautiful but you expect top service at a five star hotel.

Pros:

Nice property, lovely beautiful room with a lovely bathroom. The rooms were wonderfully cleaned by housekeeping which we appreciated.
Couple of things that popped up:
1. As we checked in, a couple queued after us and were given an immediate free upgrade to a superior ocean room but we didn’t nor were we offered. There felt an underlying unconscious bias which was a shame. We are brown and this was my birthday trip, so that was a disappointing start.
2. The afternoon tea was very disappointing.

Pros:

Loved it, room was gorgeous, staff very very friendly and helpful and all spoke excellent English. Breakfast was good, pool areas were great. Access to the sea is about a 5min walk and through a neighbouring hotel, Funchal town center is about. 25min walk away. Plenty of restaurants are nearby however.

One of the most comfortable hotels I've ever stayed at, would happily revisit

Pros:

I recently returned from a stay at Savoy Palace Madeira and had a pleasant experience. The hotel staff deserves significant credit; their helpfulness and genuine willingness to go above and beyond were truly commendable. Additionally, the housekeeping service was top-notch, keeping our room impeccably clean and organized every day.

While we enjoyed our stay, we were quite surprised by the hotel's interior design choices. The space felt like a mix of two different eras. For instance, the bathrooms were beautifully modern and well-appointed, but they were often paired with heavy, outdated furniture and finishes that simply didn't complement them. The overall design lacked a clear vision and felt like an accumulation of styles rather than a unified, luxurious aesthetic. This inconsistency was a frequent point of discussion for us, as it prevented the hotel from feeling like a truly cohesive and high-end space.

Pros:

Beautiful property, but not ideal for a relaxing vacation. The hotel requires advance reservations for restaurants and sticks to a strict schedule for most activities. Food and drinks aren’t available by the pool after a certain time, and if you don’t pre-book, your only dining options might be offsite or very late 10 p.m. One major letdown was the dress code—many of the better restaurants required dress shoes, which isn’t practical when traveling through Europe with light luggage. We’ve been to locations around the world that require nice dress code but don’t impose dress shoes on 12 year olds. Overall, it felt too rigid for a laid-back getaway. They probably lost 2K from us dining. Not coming back.
