Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel

Very good five star hotel, the area is perfect, not so far from the center. The breakfast and the dinner should be improved. A luxus hotel deservs more.

everything was excellent salt water in swiming pool

Very close to city center, very close to port/ harbor if you want to take a cruise. Great views from our pool side balcony room, free Wifi and free intrenet in rooms where internet available. Very nice bathrooms with heated floor and towel holders. Many close good resturaunts and a supermarket right outside the hotel front doors. Every night at about 2am or so, they would turn off the central A/C, so it would only blow regular, not cool air into your room. By 4 am the room was hot and every night we would wake up and have to open the balcony door for cooler air. A little dissapointing for a 5 star hotel.

Compared to the volume of the hotel, the number of parking lots was too little. Very often we were forced to look for parking lots outside in Funchal - which is not really funny or easy. All of those had to be paid and the parking time very often was limited. So if you'd like to rent a car, it is advisable to rent cars via the hotel or rent them only daywise.
