Pestana Grand Ocean Resort Hotel, hotel in Funchal

Surrounded by tropical gardens, the seaside Pestana Grand Ocean Resort Hotel features the largest salt water pool on the Madeira Island.

Reception staff on check in and check out were efficient, welcoming and professional. Our room on fourth floor had magnificent ocean views. Our rate included breakfast and dinner. We spent four nights at the hotel. Breakfast each day was very good. Many varieties of food. Dinner on Wednesday and Saturday nights was not very good. A strange assortment of food. Not very nice at all. Very disappointing. You would need a hire car to stay here. The hotel is a distance from the Funchal city centre.

FAQs about hotels in Funchal









Portuguese Charm and Island Capital

Considered one of the most beautiful cities in Portugal, charming Funchal is the capital of Madeira Island. It is an important base for tourists from all over the world that come to the Madeira hotels, B&B’s and resorts to enjoy their cliffs and beaches, as well as its slopes and colourful towns.

Founded in 1424, its position allowed it to quickly become an important trading harbour, attracting many prominent families. Its mild weather was the beginning of its touristic development in the 18th century, with a therapeutic and health profile.

With the establishment of the port first, and Madeira International/Funchal Airport later, the city grew to become a major destination. Nowadays, the city concentrates most of the hotels, luxury resorts and casinos of Madeira. Accommodation located in Santa Cruz, near Funchal Airport, is also available for those wanting to avoid the rush.

Don’t miss a long walk around Sé historical district, and enjoy the Santa Clara Convent and the Sé Cathedral. The Quinta do Palheiro Ferreiro Park and the Mercado dos Lavradores are also a must.

Whether you need an ocean-view villa or a small guest house, Booking.com offers a wide range of Funchal accommodation.

    We’ve visited not only Funchal but all over Madeira.

    We’ve visited not only Funchal but all over Madeira. My favorites were the levadas, but I’ve loved to run in the morning uphill in Funchal :). The city is beautiful but has its poor parts integrated everywhere, I liked that it’s not somewhere separated but it’s a mix of everything. The flora is astonishing and we’ve lived also the food there. Driving around can be a bit unusual at the beginning because of the steep hills and two way streets which barely can fit one car, but you get used to it :).

    3-4 days is plenty.

    3-4 days is plenty. There are surprisingly beautiful gardens & green spaces giving a break from all the noise & congestion. Beautiful flowers & trees blooming everywhere during the May Flower Festival. When multiple cruise ships are in port at once, it is packed. Driving & parking is a nightmare. Summer season must be a crowded mess. Some beautiful vistas, but few places to pull over & enjoy them. Very high fog shrouded mountains. The tourist board proclaims that Madeira in general is the Hawaii of the Atlantic. Lots of Banana trees, some palms, some similar flowers, yes. The hiking is in the cold wet fog & the beaches can't compare.

    A lovely place to visit for its scenery, cityscape, flora and food. Visits to the many gardens were so colourful, especially Monte via the cable car. Easy walking around the city with lots of shops and restaurants. The Flower Festival was colourful with parades, folk art and music, classic car parade and lots more to see. Several interesting art galleries and museums to visit as well.

    The island offers tremendous variety that takes time to discover. 2 weeks would go by very quickly here. Renting a car almost essential as it allows you to visit sites away from. the organised bus trips, which would be good if you don't fancy driving and the inevitable route finding issues.

    Madeira is a lovely island with many spectacular hikes and breathtaking views, but the city of Funchal was the least satisfying aspect of our visit. Driving in and out of the city, to and from our hotel, was stressful and confusing: roads are narrow and wind around blind curves, the locals drive very fast, and because parking is seemingly a free-for-all you spend a lot of time dodging parked cars and making room for other cars to go past you. The downtown businesses and restaurants have surrendered entirely to the crowds of tourists from the daily cruise ships, which dock in the middle of the central harbor. As a result, the staff at shops and eateries are thoroughly tired and unenthusiastic about their jobs. We plan to return to Madeira, but we will definitely pick another town to stay in.

    We very much enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Three House Hotel in Madeira. The hotel is situated in a fantastic location. Rooms and facilities are very well equipped and of a very high quality. The rooftop bar and pool area offer great views and a relaxing environment. The food at the restaurant is some of the best available in the local area, it is delicious with a great choice on the menu. Service from the staff is attentive and thorough throughout the stay. We would highly recommend the hotel to anyone looking for accommodation in Funchal.

    The apartment had everything that I needed for my stay, clean and well appointed. The restaurant downstairs, owned by the same people served excellent food and offered a discount for those renting the apartment. The host Maikel was excellent, attentive and generous, allowing me to stay for a final night free of charge when it became apparent that I had made a mistake with my departure date. If I return to Madeira, I will definitely consider these apartments again. 10 out of 10

    The hotel, built around a traditional Madeiran manor house, is an oasis of civilised calm and charm, nestling in the midst of an urban desert of high-rise hotels. The facilities were very good and the staff excellent: nothing was too much trouble and everything was served with a smile. Half board food was very good value and portions were abundant. The location, with swimming pool on the seafront, was superb - an easy walk to the town centre. We would unhesitatingly return.

A short walk distance to everything the old Funchal has to offer and nice base-camp for a wider island exploration. Finally the host is extremely welcoming and he is always there if you need anything or jif you just need a tip on where to go to drink the best poncha :) 5++ stars

    I'm visiting this place few times in the month and I can't be more happy. It's really my second home here in Madeira - not only because I visit so often but because of the strong feeling of constant support, having the best service ever and the most comfortable room on perfect location. I simply love staying there no matter if it's one night or the full week. Do not hesitate to choose this hotel if you want to have a perfect time in Funchal. The best!

    I stayed in many places in my big travel trip in Lisbon, Azores and Madeira and this was my favorite hotel because of location, balcony, palm trees near and ocean view a little from balcony. WiFi a bit was to weak, but good anyway. Breakfast was included in a very affordable price. Staff was great, was seems that they was tired and work a lot, but I was absolutely satisfied. Well done, just need to do more attention with ants.

Located slightly out of the main city centre - about a 20min walk into Funchal central - but a great spot to enjoy local cafes and bakeries, and get immersed in the authentic Madeira culture.
