Pestana Group, Santo da Serra, Santa Cruz

"This is the second time I have stayed here and it won’t be the last. Perfect location, facilities, rooms are clean, staff are friendly. It’s the perfect all rounder and I can’t wait to return in the new year."

"Grosses, sauberes Zimmer mit wunderbarem Meerblick, geräumiges Badezimmer; Schöne Meerwasserpoolanlage und Zugang zum Baden im Atlantik; an der Poolbar konnten wir den Badetag ausklingen lassen; Reichliches, vielfältiges und abwechslungsreiches Frühstücksbuffet mit Sitzbereich auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf Pool und Meer ist ein schöner Tagesbeginn. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. "

"Superb hospitality with one of the best I have seen in Europe, pleasant and friendly staff. The location of the hotel is not only at walking distance to all major sightseeing in Funchal, but also have tour operator options nearby and within the hotel itself. The central location makes it quite easy and convenient to commute with the public transport nearby. The rooms are also spacious with perfect Ocean view to grace your vacation everyday. The breakfast had a wide variety of food selection...

"Wir hatten einen rundum gelungenen Aufenthalt auf Madeira. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, sodass man vieles bequem zu Fuß erreichen kann. Das Personal war ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit – wir haben uns von Anfang an willkommen gefühlt. Die Zimmer waren modern eingerichtet, sehr sauber und gepflegt. Besonders angenehm war die Möglichkeit, den Spa-Bereich und die Pools im Nachbarhotel mitzunutzen. Dort konnten wir wunderbar entspannen und den Tag ausklingen lassen. Insgesamt ein tolles...

"Loved this hotel! Stunning views from the balcony, brilliant staff, food was pretty good and served warmer than you often get in all inclusive, so that was great. Entertainment in the bar every night. Two pools and a jacuzzi. Rooms were large with comfortable seating and a large telly. Balcony is great. Just 2 draw backs, the beds are quite hard, and there are fans rather than air-conditioning, so the nights can be warm, but that is definitely a price worth paying!"

"We have stayed at the Pestana Lido every time visiting Madeira. It has the best location, wonderful staff and excellent food and drinks. You are literally surrounded by amazing ocean views from every room. We love the personal service due to its smaller size hotel. "

"Beautiful property with plants everywhere. A place to relax and chill amongst butterflies and plants! Staff and kind and attentive. Management respond to any issues (our frying pan needed replacing and they did after I fed it back. Breakfast has a good variety. The restaurant is nothing massively remarkable but a great thing to have close by as there are not many other places to eat in the area within walking distance. "

"Other than the location being quite a long way to walk to town, very quiet area with little options of bars around the area, ideal for someone who enjoys the full benefits of peace and quiet"
