We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Grand and will be returning. The hotel is brilliant with superb grounds and facilities. We were self catering and had a studio apartment over looking the sea. Great sized room with large comfortable bed, comfortable sitting area and dining table.

We stayed for a week at the Grand Pestana. We had booked B&B terms and paid for a sea view room. The room was well appointed and clean,but a bit jaded. Although it overlooked the sea, as it was on the first floor, the view of the sea was restricted by the trees around the hotel grounds. The bed was... More

Just returned from our 2nd visit to The Pestana Grand. Our first being for a week last November, this holiday was for 2 weeks. Our request for the same room was honoured, so we enjoyed the glorious views over the Atlantic. Everything was spotlessly clean, and we had maid service twice a day. All the staff are extremely friendly, helpful,... More

My wife and I have recently returned from a very relaxing fortnight at the Pestana Grand. We stayed in a comfortable, well appointed studio apartment on the second floor with a beautiful outlook over the very attractive grounds and the sea facing east. We were staying on an RCI timeshare exchange and should have transferred after the first week to... More

Before the criticism, the plus points: good position with supermarkets and large shopping mall [with C&A and Zara] nearby; [large bottles of mineral water over 4 euros in hotel were 77 cents fizzy and 33 cents still in supermarkets]; shuttle to town every 45 min morning and afternoon; standard hotel bedroom and bathroom large and well appointed.

I think it's not a 5* hotel, but a good 4*. The location is some km from centre of Funchal but there are free shuttle bus to centre every 30 min. It's 5 min by walk from shopping centre which is quite good if you compare to other shopping centres in Funchal. The hotel is on a cliff, that's way... More

Great hotel in a really nice location right on the sea as long as you have booked a sea view room. Breakfast was a great buffet with plenty of choice. Very clean amd comfortable hotel with very freindly staff. The walk to funchal is not easy at all so suggest take the courtesy shuttle that works really well.
