Great stay, will happily come again
Pros:

The hotel has beautiful ocean view. We had a balcony in our room with an ocean view. The breakfast room where you can sit inside and outside is also lovely. You can sit outside and again see the ocean.
The breakfast is varied. Moreover, there is always a lot of fresh fruit, different types of bread, and, most importantly, fresh juices.
The staff is all very friendly and welcoming and do their best to help with every issue. Phillip and Diana and another lady in guest relations helped us a lot with excursions and finding out various phone numbers, and Andrew at breakfast and dinner always took good care of us and our daughter, and , again, always very friendly.
The most important thing: the heated pool inside is really warm (some days cooler that the others) and jacuzzi is big and nice.
We ate a few times at the restaurant in the evening - very nice! Both kitchen chefs are very good. Dont't forget to do a Pestana membership card upon arrival to get a 10 % discount in the restaurant.
The bus connection to the city is OK, but has a few issues, so we mostly used bolt, as there were 3 of us.

Cons:

Minor issues. On some days you had to wait for a long time for the hot water if you got up early, before 8:00. Sometimes the bathrobes and bath towels were not put anew in the room and you had to ask for them. But, again, the staff went out of their ways to help even with these minor things.

It's about my fourth time in Madeira, and this is probably the first hotel that I'd repeat.
Pros:

Amazing ocean view, very friendly staff.
Breakfast was very good.
Location is good, with downtown in a walking distance, but also plenty of Uber and cabs around.

Cons:

The restaurants of the hotel had a limited or not so great option: either a buffet or a supposed Michelin guide restaurant that didn't met the expectations. But there are plenty of restaurants nearby, so that's not a limitation.

10 day holiday.
Pros:

We recently stayed at the Pestana Promenade hotel and found all the staff very polite, helpful and friendly and a credit to the company. In particular we would like to thank Dalila Rodrigues for her help and kindess with various issues. We booked a room overlooking the swimming pool but unfortunately the room allocated suffered some issues early in the mornings with a lack of hot water so we were offered an alternative room. The reception area looks impressive as does the bar and restaurant area. Though the maids did a good job of keeping our room clean the heavy curtains needed cleaning and the room would definitely benefit from some refurbishment. The dining staff were very effecient in taking drinks orders and clearing away the used crockery and cutlery quickly. The food selection at breakfast was very good though like most Brits we would have preferred English bacon! We also booked an evening meal as part of our package and though the choice of salads and desserts was very good unfortunately the main courses though plentiful were generally not as good as we expected as we would have preferred more fish and meat content. One other comment which was made by a previous reviewer regarding the 10% service charge being automatically added to all the drinks purchased, which though optional, in our view it would have been better just to increase the price of the drinks.

Fantastisch
Pros:

Wij hadden een kamer op de begane grond. Daarbij een kleine prive plek ipv balkon en het fijne is dat je redelijk beschut zat en toch zo naar het zwembad kon lopen. De douche was ook heerlijk. Schoonmaak was goed.

Cons:

Koelkast deed het niet.
Enorm veel stof in kast waar koelkast zat.
Voor mij 1.90m en 110kg lag het bed niet zo fijn. Kreeg pijn aan mijn heupen.

Thoroughly recommend
Pros:

Couldn't recommend this hotel enough. I would come back in a heartbeat. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, no question or anything was too much for them and they would go out of their way to help and make your experience as good as possible. Someone even booked and arranged our rental car and did the process for us which I thought was brilliant. The entire hotel was clean, well presented and we loved our sea view/balcony. Food was good again with a nice setting and the indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam/sauna combo was lovely. Thoroughly recommend.

Un peu cher mais quand même agréable pour un séjour d’une semaine
Pros:

Le personnel très agréable, très souriant, la vue, l’emplacement, les animations, le petit déjeuner très varié avec de bons produits, le fait que ce soit très adapté aux végétariens, il y en a pour tous les goûts, le buffet du soir est varié également, literie confortable, rien à redire sur le ménage, c’était toujours propre.

Cons:

- Les chambres ne sont pas du tout insonorisées (on entend les bébés pleurer, les enfants crier, les meubles qui sont déplacés, les gens tousser/se moucher, les portes qui claquent, les gens qui parlent dans le couloir…).
- les douches ne sont vraiment pas terribles… trop de variations de températures, on passe du tiède au brûlant en une fraction de seconde, il y a même eu deux matins où je n’arrivais pas à avoir l’eau chaude et j’ai renoncé à prendre ma douche sur le moment…
- le fait de mettre des pourboires « suggérés » sur les tickets, si on ne fait pas attention, on perd vite de l’argent. C’est sournois, faites attention, vous avez le droit de refuser !!!
- la piscine intérieure un peu petite et il faudrait une piscine et des emplacements réservés aux adultes afin d’avoir un peu de tranquillité.

Lovely hotel,fabulous location
Pros:

Just returned from a week's stay at this hotel. Beautiful hotel with friendly, efficient staff,great location with direct access onto the promenade. Facilities are excellent. Walk into Funchal takes about 40mins,but not along the promenade, you have to head inwards along the main street. Happy to recommend this hotel.
