Want to drop down the rating to below 4* because of the breakfast. The juices were worse than store brand and the coffee had burnt smell. Both coffee machines were programmed to make hot chocolate for cappuccino. I tried one more option on the machine for coffee+milk, even that one gave me burnt coffee. I am leaving the rating at 4 because the staff was courteous and the rooms were quite nice.

Unforgettable Oceanfront Stay and Warm Hospitality

Our stay at the Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism by the staff, who went out of their way to make us feel at home. The hotel’s location is perfect—just a short walk from Funchal’s charming center, yet peaceful and right on the ocean. The views from the rooms and terraces are breathtaking, especially at sunset. We particularly loved the choice of swimming pools: the large sea-water pool with direct access to the ocean was a highlight, while the indoor heated pool provided the perfect retreat in the evenings. Breakfast was outstanding with a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and local specialties. Every meal we had at the hotel was beautifully presented and delicious, with attentive service to match. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, offering all the modern amenities while still maintaining a relaxed, island atmosphere. The beds were especially comfortable, ensuring we woke up refreshed each day. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff’s dedication to excellence—they consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. We were given the warmest welcome by Samoume, who truly went above We left feeling completely relaxed and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Madeiran hospitality, Pestana Carlton Madeira is the place to be.

Fantastic hotel , rooms were big and very comfortable. Buffet breakfast was very good with plenty of choice and very tasty in all fairness. Plenty of pools so you're not stuck for beds or parasols which is not the case in a lot of hotels. We had a great time on the 'Abba night' we felt it was spot on and well worth the cost, the food was very tasty and the drinks kept flowing the staff didn't hold back fair play👌 My only word of warning is that you pay quite a lot of money to stay at the hotel so I was quite shocked when I realised they were applying a 10% service charge to drinks at the bar, drinks at the poolside and at the pub restaurant, this is something I've never encountered before in a hotel.I raised my issue at the reception desk only to be told I didn't have to pay it if I didn't want to and to tell the staff next time. 10% may not seem a lot but i would've liked to have been made aware there was an option to pay it or not.
