Pestana Vila Lido Madeira Ocean Hotel

Exceptional views and such welcoming helpful staff. Buffet breakfasts and terrace superb. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Pool rather cold but it was January and the outlook over the sea compensated. Also a very friendly, good value pool snack bar. The spa area was very small and treatments expensive. On a previous visit a few years ago, before refurbishment , there was a jacuzzi which was very welcome on cooler days in particular. Easy access to public transport to Funchal and pleasant walks along the sea front. We thoroughly recommend this hotel. Special thanks to all staff especially Elspeth.

Ocean view

The rooms have improved since the refurbishment, and were clean and comfortable. We were disappointed with the evening meal (buffet). They were not up to the 'Palms' standard. The plates were cold and the food in the main was Luke warm (at best). The sweets were quite bland unless you like blancmange type puddings. The breakfast were much better with a great selection. I must mention the Customer relations lady 'Liz Beth' who was very friendly and helpful and definitely an asset to the hotel.

C'est toujours une bonne adresse pour passer un bon moment à Madère. Les prix ont bien augmenté depuis la rénovation. En haute saison, je trouves que le prix est un trop haut. Très bon petit déjeuner!

Excellent location, EXCELLENT SERVICE, excellent ambiance.

Totally brilliant stay - everything great from start to finish. Great place to relax and chill out and my room was exceptional. My only disappointment was leaving!!

So happy with this hotel choice. I would stay here again. Loved that you can swim directly into the ocean. 💕

We loved staying here. Everyone was friendly. Fabulous location with amazing ocean views. Excellent dining options and facilities. Would definitely stays here again.

Super Lage für Madeira, besseres Wetter als woanders auf der Insel. Großer Parkplatz gegenüber vom Hotel (4€/Tag). Direkter Meerzugang mit vielen Fischen. Beste Zimmer ab Etage 6 mit direktem Meerblick. Etage 5 ist nicht zu empfehlen, da es hier leider keinen Sichtschutz zwischen den Balkonen gibt.

I genuinely enjoyed my stay in a smaller, but no less convenient, outpost of the Pestana chain, which I am loyal to as one of the best hotel groups in Portugal—a superb refurbishment. The food is great, and the ambience is quiet and restored. The staff are helpful and kind.
