Pestana Vila Lido Madeira (ex. Pestana Palms Ocean)

Nasze wrażenia są bardzo pozytywne. Pierwsze co się rzuca w oczy , to bardzo miła i profesjonalna obsługa. Pokoje są przestronne i bardzo czyste. Panie sprzątające są niezwykle profesjonalne. W pokoju znajduje się aneks kuchenny i mała lodówka . W łazience znajdziecie szlafroki i kosmetyki. Łóżka i materace chyba jedne z najwygodniejszych na jakich spałem. Basen odkryty , woda mogłaby być podgrzewana. Obok basenu bar i przekąski. Na trzecim piętrze znajdziecie siłownię. W hotelu jest parking (10euro) , ale możecie też parkować w Biedrze (PingoDoce) na przeciwko hotelu. Bierzecie zielony żeton i płacicie 4 euro za dobę. Ale to , po co przyjeżdża się do tego hotelu , to widok. Fantastyczny i niezapomniany ! Wszystkie pokoje w nowej części hotelu mają widok na morze. Konstrukcja w formie walca , zapewnia fantastyczne poranki z widokiem na morze . Śniadania ok , choć mogłyby być bardziej urozmaicone. Choć za kawę muszę ich pochwalić :)) Polecam wyrobić sobie kartę członkowską Pestana. Uzyskacie bardzo fajne zniżki.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious with a big balcony overlooking the ocean. On request could park at the hotel. Room service was sometimes very late but friendly and helpful on requests. Breakfast buffet is very complete.

We've just came home from our 5th visit to this hotel, we love it there. As always, the views were great, and the breakfast the best. We found the people working there to be very friendly and helpful. I can't say much about the pool as it was too chilly to use, but I did sit out by the pool one day, watching the waves. The library is another beautiful room I enjoy, and this year we used the lounge because there was a sporting event on TV we wanted to see, and the TVs in the rooms didn't get the sports channel we needed. There was a negative side to this stay. Because of the refurbishing of the rooms, they have taken out the little kitchen area. There is still a refrigerator, but that's it, no plates, cutlery, microwave etc. The portions in the many nearby restaurants are large, and it would have been nice to be able to warm up leftovers. There is also a nice grocery store just across the street. One thing that hasn't changed, the steep street to get to and from the hotel. But as I have said before, it's a short hill, and where on our previous visit, I put in my review that it was only a 3 minute climb, this year it took me 4 minutes--still do-able. I highly reccomend this beautiful property.

The hotel environment is lovely and relaxed. The staff make this place amazing. There a such a good and chilled vibe from all the staff which is difficult to find in most places. Stayed in a seaview room which is a must to enjoy the calming sound of the waves. Couldn’t have asked for more . Perfect stay and looking forward to return. Thank you all for welcoming us to your beautiful island.

My wife and I spotted the unique Pestana Vila Lido Hotel when we were on a Dolphin trip on a previous Pestana holiday in Madeira Nov/Dec 2023, both my wife and myself thought this is a hotel where we would like to stay and more or less booked it straight away for a 2 week winter break when we arrived home in the United Kingdom, the Hotel has a Pay on Arrival Policy which gave us some time to save up for a holiday in February/March 2024 The holiday itself, we flew from Leeds and Bradford Airport and arrived in Funchal Madeira Airport, from the Airport we chose the Aerobus (6 Euros per person)which you find outside the arrivals area and this takes you into Funchal and Hotels at various stops, it is to be noted that this service doesn't take you directly to the hotel but at various stops along the route which are close to the hotels, we found out that our stop was stop 15 the Lido area and which is just at the top of Rua Gorgulho where the Vila Lido is situated at the bottom of the hill towards the sea. The Pestana Vila Lido Hotel is even more impressive close up with it's unique shape and the traditional part of the hotel is equally striking and with the check-in procedure a breeze we paid the amount and were shown to our room. Our room one of the Classic Sea View rooms was light and airy with the best views ever of the Atlantic from the room and balcony and dependent which side of the hotel you are on you either have the sunrise or sunset. There were a couple of minor issues with the room and these were pointed out via an online review of our stay so far. To our surprise, the following day we were offered by the Hotel Manager an upgrade to a superior room which was out of this world and had the best views of the Atlantic we had ever encountered, with a view to the West of the Island for the amazing Sunsets. It has to be said that we once again had some minor issue's with the Superior Room and we addressed these at a later internal management review of the hotel. My wife and I like swimming and there is ample opportunity for this with the hotel pool which was awesome and also an option if the sea state is ok to enter the sea safely with ladder access and egress, the area is fenced off and appropriate warning flags raised when the weather is too bad to swim safely. The breakfast facilities at the hotel are perfect with the staff being very friendly and accommodating to our needs which are not extravagant just some tea and a poached egg sometimes, there are coffee machines and an excellent choice of hot and cold food available, you can even sit outside to view the ocean whilst you have breakfast should you so wish. In the traditional part of the hotel is a bar and A La Carte Restaurant where the menu has a variety of options As well as the Hotel Bar and Restaurant where we dined on 2 occasions there are a number of nice restaurants in close vicinity and further to the West is the Public lido which has adjacent bars and restaurants, something for every event we thought. Funchal town centre is approximately 2.4Km from the hotel and once you navigate the hill up away from the hotel the walk is on the level and a pleasant walk with views of the hills etc, you can either go directly into the town centre or down a hill to the harbour area, Funchal is really nice and plenty of things to do which is detailed at all the information outlets etc. The yellow bus Number 2 we used on a couple of occasions to get in and out of Funchal, this is a frequent service and didn't have long to wait for a bus to arrive, at the time of writing it was 3.90 Euros for both of us, Taxis fares are around 8/10 Euros for the trip from Funchal back to the Hotel or vice versa. We have been lucky in our lives to have traveled to many places in the world on holidays or with work and stayed in some really nice hotels, we feel that the Pestana Vila Lido is up there with the best, not because of the upgrade but purely because of it's unique Architecture, position and setting, the Hotel itself is very clean, the facilities are excellent as are all the staff, what more could you wish for in a Holiday, a winter holiday at that at this visit. Thanks for an amazing experience.
