Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely adored my stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, although a bit noisy at times due to nearby nightlife. The service was exceptional, with thoughtful gestures like arranging parasols. The location was ideal, just a short walk from the marina and within easy reach of restaurants. The dining experience, while enjoyable with a lovely terrace, fell short of high standards for a 5-star hotel.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and fairly modern, although the smell in the family room was a drawback. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was convenient, with easy access to Funchal and restaurant areas. The dining options were varied but lacked standout quality. The facilities were well organized and functional.
Staying here was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were spacious with beautiful views of the mountains, and having a fridge in the room was a great convenience. However, the power being connected to the key card was a bit inconvenient for charging devices. The service was warm and welcoming, although reception seemed less engaging. The location was fantastic with easy access to the sea and charming restaurants nearby. The dining options were varied but could be improved in quality. The facilities, especially the pool areas, were well-maintained and provided a relaxing atmosphere.
I had a mixed experience at Pestana Casino Park Hotel. The rooms were spacious with a large balcony that soaked up the sun all day, but the noise from the nightclub across the road was disruptive throughout the night. The service had its highs and lows, with some exceptional moments but also instances of carelessness. The location was convenient for walking into Funchal, although not suitable for everyone. The dining options were varied and satisfying, although not exceptional. Overall, a decent stay with some notable drawbacks.
The hotel offers spectacular rooms overlooking the bay on the 17th floor, although balconies may be intimidating for those with a fear of heights. The service is top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff catering to all needs. The location is excellent, with easy access to Funchal's center and various dining options within a short walk. The dining experience, while offering a good variety, can be chaotic at times. Overall, a modern hotel with great amenities and a stunning view, ideal for those seeking a convenient and luxurious stay.
The Savoy Hotel offers a mixed experience with clean comfortable rooms but falls short of 5-star expectations in terms of room amenities and views over a busy road. The service is top-notch with a professional and customer-oriented approach. The location is excellent, close to central Funchal and an ideal starting point for exploring the city's attractions, although it can get overcrowded. The dining experience is generally satisfying with a wide choice and good quality food. Despite some room for improvement, the hotel provides a lovely setting with plenty of sunbeds and attentive staff.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, although the kitchenette was a bit small. The environment felt like a Holiday Camp, which added to the charm. The staff, especially the cleaning team, were friendly and faced the beautiful mountain views.
