we liked the fact that the breakfast and dinner were put out for us to eat when we wanted

we also had a much appreciated late check out

the food they served was good, even though we got the same breakfast twice

we popped out for a short walk to a waterfall 20 mins away before breakfast

you down there, it's 5 euros per person one way; - no need to bring your own food — you get a breakfast and an early dinner served, also you could buy very delicious food in the cafe; - it

the continental breakfast could be also taken outside and included scrambled, fried or boiled eggs as well as fruit

the quietness and zen athmoshere, the spa area, the views

having breakfast each morning on the terrace was a real bonus, and the staff even organised a breakfast

hotel spa is quite simple, but ok.

great location, on-site parking, walking distance to mall and nice indoor & outdoor pool

a proper bar as distinct from the restaurant

) you are a guest of the hotel but still need to show a code to get a tiny discount on each bar or restaurant purchase; the discount should automatically be applied since they know your room

the pool bar did not open until towards the end of our

when checking under the bed for items the kids may have dropped, i found maltesers

we liked everything although the gym was pretty warm. it didn’t stop us using it however!

the shape is not for real swimming but only for kids to play while usually a heated pool for kids shall be 33 degrees

pool was amazing with stunning views and the food round the pool bar was nice too

view from terrace staff very friendly & helpful excellent food their room service is brilliant i really like the welcome drink idea

i thought the gym was a little small but not everyone goes on a vacation to workout.

heated pools, gym, sauna and spa

breakfast was very varied and quality you'd expect of a 4*

the pool was quite nice and we were told that the new glass visors are a new addition and it makes all

nothing to dislike. the wifi speed could be a bit better, but that was no issue for me.

the cooked breakfast could have been hotter.

stunning sea views. adults only

as it is an 'adults only' hotel, there is no noise from difficult-to-manage kids

the spa was great and clean

location, very friendly staff ( nothing is a problem), warm pool water, great choice of food at breakfast time and dinner, it was our 2nd stay at pestana

very relaxing areas, spa nad pool amazing

breakfast was great

breakfast was good with lots of choices

the staff was very friendly and helpful, we enjoyed gym, pool and pool bar looked nice, but we have no time to enjoy it, we spent a lot of time

breakfast was great - but the coffee was poor (there is such great coffee in madeira and the

t not too loud) - the gym is very small, having some basic dumbbells would be

wifi is good. room is big, spacious and well equipped.

washing dishes apparently is not part of room service

super professional staff clean and tidy room was amazing breakfast good if a little crowded gym was good and pools

lovely pool bar serving great food during the lunchtime period

the snacks at the bar next to the pool were surprisingly good

the children loved the pools and the kids club

stayed late in the season and the outdoor pool wasn't heated

certainly a place for any kind of traveller alone a family a couple all round great and nice warm pool thanks guys you made my stay fantastic

great bar by the pool

good restaurant for breakfast see views

very good swimming pool

wifi unusable on second floor

hotel, big pool, kind staff, delicious breakfakt and also rooftop hot tub with exceptional view

spa and jacuzzi was far from each another, but jacuzzi has wonderful views

is enough entertainment around to not spend much time in your room anyway, between the swimming pool, the jacuzzi, bars and so on

the spa was lovely, and the breakfast had so many delicious options

would have liked gym to be open at 7am

hotel is adults only, but there were children on the roof top bar - was fine for us, but just an observation

i'm also a very fussy breakfast eater and the breakfast at the hotel was very well laid out with plenty of very good

spa shuts too early at 7pm

the spa area was great, made by booking (no extra cost) meant that it was a private experience, and the

excellent hotel rooms modern breakfast great choice staff lovely

the entire staff, from office to pool bar and dining room was very kind and helpful

breakfast was excellent

really good value for money and the bar with its ocean view is the perfect place for sipping cocktails

eakfast was particularly delicious), with a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options

breakfast was superb, huge choice and beautiful views over the ocean

breakfast was good! the facilities were very varied. gym was awesome!

no indoor pool was a big thing for me

there are four pools outdoors so the pool isn’t so full it’s uncomfortable like a lot of other hotels

the infinity pool above the ocean and direct access to swim out to sea was just unbelievable

there are gym facilities and a big wellness spa

wifi kept going off in my room

poor wifi

i wish the the outdoor pools had been heated. it was just too cold to swim in them in december.

enjoyed swimming in indoor pool as well as jacuzzi, steam room and gym

breakfast time was very busy and at times crowded. managed very well by the staff though.

spa to share with naked people. shower wasn’t working in the spa.

a very big mention for telma costa at the il gallo d’oro restaurant as she had raised the bar of offering an exceptional service and made a difference in our stay

of amenities and restaurants but make note they all except the pool bar require rsvp

was superb, the staff were exceptional, breakfast filled you up until evening, the sea swimming was glorious, and as for the views ,

our son (18mo) enjoyed the kids playrooms

quality of service in all areas of the hotel - reception, spa area, room cleaning, restaurant and pool

breakfast views from the avista restaurant are stunning

superb breakfast. fabulous suite and the view was heavenly

seaview, amazing infinity pool and excellent and affable service

everything! especially the pool!

there are a couple of bars though they don’t tend to get busy so sometimes you have to track down a staff member to

from a personalized check-in - where fabio was absolutely amazing with my kids - to a wonderful birthday breakfast celebration for my wife, every detail was handled with

faculties such as pools, spa good

pools to swim, outdoor and indoor, also spa, jacuzzis, sauna, steam

gym needs an update - equipment is ancient and not up to standard.

i wish there was some place dedicated to small kids, even some board games in a game room would be nice

the breakfast was really rich and fresh

really spacious excellently furnished room. breakfast superb.

an unusual feature of the bar is a define your own happy hour policy

the vasco da gama bar served also lunch and dinner anytime during the day

comfortable modern rooms, strong wifi, great pool and spa area with a view, helpful staff, huge full breakfast buffet

pool and spa are very well equipped too and the staff is kind and helpful

thanks to the big windows in the room, but also the restaurant and spa and swimming pool

facilities, staff, cleanliness and breakfast was all great

very quiet because it‘s adults only with no kids

the kids liked the games corner and the swimming pools

pool rules should be reversed

also gym had only one elliptical machine and one tread mill which was not sufficient for the large size

the pools both indoor and outdoor were excellent

the breakfast was lovely, a great set up and choice

pools, spa facilities, and a casino/club attached to the hotel if you want night entertainment

kettle or coffee making facilities in room had to use room service at 8 + items free parking only for 5 cars you had to pay 15 per

pool bar only had 2 staff, so when it was busy, there were long waits for food and drink

staying at the pestana casino park was the icing on the cake

e only place

very central early check in possible friendly staff

there's a school nearby, so be prepared for the kids to be noisy from 8 a

the lady showed us parking spots and where to do our laundry, super nice

there’s also a school nearby, kids cheering incessantly the whole day, which is a nice atmosphere in a way, but not if you like

is really good, the relation with the staff was perfect, the laundry service was an unexpected good surprise, room service was

staff at the pool bar just did not want to serve any of us up there

preferred an indoor gym and more of a private bathroom in the room.

nda confusing) and some furniture feeling a little 'tired' compared to how fancy

at the end of the very very long corridor, the outside training equipment, the red swimming pool, the list is endless

lovely sun bathing and pool area and for the fitness afficianados lots of gym equipment in the open sir

wifi, loud cleaning, lack of personal space

signs everywhere like not to take long showers, not to wash laundry in sinks, not to leave rubbish etc

asked about the washing machine and were told that it would be 5 euros for washing and drying the laundry in the machine

for example, the hostel does not offer laundry service anymore

staff is superb, wifi good, no parking, but you can found place at street, we parked car at pedestrian way - it's
