What guests think
Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel combines an oceanfront setting, multiple pools with sea access, and generally friendly service, drawing praise for breakfast variety and views, while some guests note dated areas, limited parking, and a basic gym.
Rooms are often spacious with balconies, though several mention outdated decor, occasional noise from streets or adjoining doors, and issues like weak air conditioning or patchy Wi-Fi. Cleanliness is typically good, yet a number of reviews cite inconsistent housekeeping or replenishment; some also report slow restaurant service and pools that can feel cold. Overall, expect a well-located resort with great water access and facilities, but with some aging features and service inconsistencies.

The location was excellent and the staff at the front desk as well as the door men were very attentive and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and there are a ton of local options for food. My biggest negative is it's impossible to get a lounger by the pool. I spent 6 days here in Madeira, and I like to get up and out each morning for sight-seeing. Coming back to the hotel each afternoon to no chairs at the pool was a real bummer, because I couldn't really enjoy the property itself. My other negative is that restaurant service is verrrrry slow. I'd sometime wait 15 minutes to just get coffee at breakfast or a drink by the pool bar at the afternoon. Both these factors would make me look elsewhere next time, which is a shame, because the hotel itself and the location is great.

Beautiful hotel with nice amenities. Service in all restaurants is below standards. Thought it would be just one bad experience but it turned out it was all of them. Parking is free but you have better chance at winning lottery. Three days in a row could not even access the lot. Paid parking was available but it’s expensive. Lots of shopping nearby by and close proximity to downtown was perfect.

We loved our stay at the Pestana. The amenities were amazing, we loved the pools and options for sea swimming plus sauna, steam room and jacuzzi in the spa. Our room was kept very clean throughout our stay, thank you Tania! The hotel staff were warm, informative and welcoming. We will be back soon!

I have been staying at the Pestana Carlton for many, many years ( since 1990's) and am ALWAYS looking forward to going back! The hotel location is superb, the access to the sea wonderful, the various swimming pools and hotel facilities pretty good and most of all, every single member of staff treats us like family! All staff is very professional, hard working and they all make you feel welcome. Just returned from a 5 week holiday at the Carlton and cannot wait to book again!

A wonderful hotel with fantastic staff. Everything was clean and of a high standard, with a great sea view. It was lovely to be able to swim in the sea, and the pools were clean and well maintained. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection and many new items every day. The best part was the man who made fresh omelettes daily, increadibly service-minded, smiling and friendly. Second time at this hotel, and be back - love everything with it. Close to lovely restaurants and bus 9 to the airport.

The amenities were less than expected. The pools and hottub, although beautiful, were cold. The fitness center was in the pool area. The restaurant was expensive and the buffet food was tasteless and boring. The carafe coffee was awful! And the parking was expensive.

Everything was nice but felt that the housekeeping should do a better job of replenshing, toiletries, teas, face cloths, towels.. rooms were cleaned but never replenished. Also never were beach towels exchanged for new ones. Breakfast was good but felt some of food items could had been changed up a bit

The property was beautiful and pools and amenities excellent. Wonderful and attentive service. However our room was very old and looks to have not been updated since the mid 80’s. The toilet was so old there were water stains from the running water in the bowl and the toilet constantly ran. They were quick to fix it when I advised however by end of stay it was running again. It should be replaced. The Tv was heavily damaged and should have been replaced years ago. Once I advised the replaced asap with new one. However that tv should have been replaced well before our stay and makes me think there do not do regular service checks. The bed however was excellent and new and we had a wonderful nights sleep and the room was always cleaned. Other then the lack of room updates the property was wonderful. Would stay again but would confirm the room has been updated in at least the last decade.

The location was great and the receptionists were very helpful. However, i would say this hotel has become run down with main furniture items being cleaned but furniture that isn’t really seen (side table for example) are filled with dust. The other workers (at the pub, bars and restaurant) were not friendly - looking annoyed when asked for a menu… the beds are not comfortable at all!! We were not able to have a full nights sleep as the bed was hard as a rock and the A/C made so much noise and did not cool down the room at all. The pool was also freezing and filled with debris and bugs. However, the pool at the very bottom was clean I’ll give it that. Overall, not very impressed and wouldn’t stay here again.

Our stay at the Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism by the staff, who went out of their way to make us feel at home. The hotel’s location is perfect—just a short walk from Funchal’s charming center, yet peaceful and right on the ocean. The views from the rooms and terraces are breathtaking, especially at sunset. We particularly loved the choice of swimming pools: the large sea-water pool with direct access to the ocean was a highlight, while the indoor heated pool provided the perfect retreat in the evenings. Breakfast was outstanding with a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and local specialties. Every meal we had at the hotel was beautifully presented and delicious, with attentive service to match. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, offering all the modern amenities while still maintaining a relaxed, island atmosphere. The beds were especially comfortable, ensuring we woke up refreshed each day. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff’s dedication to excellence—they consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. We were given the warmest welcome by Samoume, who truly went above We left feeling completely relaxed and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Madeiran hospitality, Pestana Carlton Madeira is the place to be.

Overall a pleasant stay. The rooms are spacious. If you get a room facing the street and taxi stand it will be noisy at night as there are vars and restaurants across the street. The front desk staff are helpful. Breakfast gets very busy after 830 am and the tables aren't cleared fast enough and glasses and bowls need to be replenished often. It is a 20 minute walk to Funchal and coming back from Funchal there is a medium incline that requires some energy so this is not for everyone, especially if you are carrying bottles of alcohol or lots of souveneirs. Overall no major issues.

A estadia correu muito bem: os funcionários foram simpáticos e a comida era boa. No entanto, considero que a receção foi o ponto menos positivo. Foram feitos dois pedidos que acabaram por ser esquecidos. Além disso, no momento do check-in, enviei por email o comprovativo de residência para evitar o pagamento das taxas de turismo, mas, no check-out, o hotel não tinha esse comprovativo registado. Tivemos de enviá-lo novamente, o que atrasou o procedimento de check-out.

Tivemos de enviá-lo novamente, o que atrasou o procedimento de check-out.

Our stay at the Pestana Carlton Madeira Ocean Resort Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism by the staff, who went out of their way to make us feel at home. The hotel’s location is perfect—just a short walk from Funchal’s charming center, yet peaceful and right on the ocean. The views from the rooms and terraces are breathtaking, especially at sunset. We particularly loved the choice of swimming pools: the large sea-water pool with direct access to the ocean was a highlight, while the indoor heated pool provided the perfect retreat in the evenings. Breakfast was outstanding with a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and local specialties. Every meal we had at the hotel was beautifully presented and delicious, with attentive service to match. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, offering all the modern amenities while still maintaining a relaxed, island atmosphere. The beds were especially comfortable, ensuring we woke up refreshed each day. What truly sets this hotel apart is the staff’s dedication to excellence—they consistently went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. We were given the warmest welcome by Samoume, who truly went above We left feeling completely relaxed and already planning our next visit. If you’re looking for a blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Madeiran hospitality, Pestana Carlton Madeira is the place to be.

The location was excellent and the staff at the front desk as well as the door men were very attentive and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and there are a ton of local options for food. My biggest negative is it's impossible to get a lounger by the pool. I spent 6 days here in Madeira, and I like to get up and out each morning for sight-seeing. Coming back to the hotel each afternoon to no chairs at the pool was a real bummer, because I couldn't really enjoy the property itself. My other negative is that restaurant service is verrrrry slow. I'd sometime wait 15 minutes to just get coffee at breakfast or a drink by the pool bar at the afternoon. Both these factors would make me look elsewhere next time, which is a shame, because the hotel itself and the location is great.

The location of the Pestana Carlton is ideal. It is an easy walk to the old town and toward the Lido hotel zone. There are great restaurants and shopping close by. The downside is that the hotel is so large that there is no personal touch. Most of the staff were pleasant but didn’t go over and above to make you feel welcome. The rooms were adequate but could use updating. The balcony has beautiful views of the harbor and ocean.

The Pestana was only 20 mins from the airport, very convenient. The hotel and it's staff were absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with smiles. The reception staff were friendly and very efficient. The restaurant staff were so obliging and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the week we stayed, great choice for our wedding anniversary. Highly recommended.

A wonderful hotel with fantastic staff. Everything was clean and of a high standard, with a great sea view. It was lovely to be able to swim in the sea, and the pools were clean and well maintained. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide selection and many new items every day. The best part was the man who made fresh omelettes daily, increadibly service-minded, smiling and friendly. Second time at this hotel, and be back - love everything with it. Close to lovely restaurants and bus 9 to the airport.

A wonderful place to stay. The staff were all excellent and very helpful - including when my husband got sick and they helped me to call a doctor, and enquired after his health the next day. They helped with booking and then subsequently rearranging excursions too. I'd highly recommend this hotel as a place to both relax by the ocean, and as a base for exploring Funchal.

The hotel is in a great location, with a walkable area and a lot of restaurants around it. We stayed in a room with pool view and were actually able to walk out the room and go straight to the pool. There also was an ocean view from our room, although we never got down to the beach. The staff was friendly and all the amenities were fine. Free parking was limited, especially since it was also being used by the locals.

Hotellet virket slidt, og møblerne i morgenmadsrestaurant var plettede og grænsende til det uækre. Morgenmadsbuffetten var baseret på mange mennesker, hvilket også afspejledes i kvaliteten. F eks var bacon ikke færdigstegt. Personalet var alle steder venligt og hjælpsomt. Parkeringsforhold var under mangelfulde, og man undlod, at oplyse om at der 100 meter fra hotellet lå en konkurrende p-kælder, der endda var billigere. Så pris og kvalitet hænger ikke sammen, og vi vender ikke tilbage.

Overall a pleasant stay. The rooms are spacious. If you get a room facing the street and taxi stand it will be noisy at night as there are vars and restaurants across the street. The front desk staff are helpful. Breakfast gets very busy after 830 am and the tables aren't cleared fast enough and glasses and bowls need to be replenished often. It is a 20 minute walk to Funchal and coming back from Funchal there is a medium incline that requires some energy so this is not for everyone, especially if you are carrying bottles of alcohol or lots of souveneirs. Overall no major issues.
