Fabulous hotel, amazing view of the Ocean from our room. Extremely friendly and helpful staff at all times. Varied choice from breakfast buffet. Beautiful, peaceful, very clean and surrounded by luscious vegetation pool. Easy access to the sea if inclined to swim in the Ocean. We will be coming back

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!

We have been staying in the Pestana Carlton since 1994. It has a great location with selection of nice restaurants in walking distance. It is also close to Funchal city center. However, standards are declining with no lift from upper to lower pool levels and poor service in upper pool cafe. The ladies in the Atlántico Bar were amazing - friendly and efficient.

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.

For the amount of money I'm paying it's not cheap expect more to be fair Have been coming for years and it's in a slow decline Rooms are so dated ,carpet rank stupid shower on the taps still no slip mats unless requested I'm an old fella. In my opinion just cutting things to save money like the chocolate bar that's get smaller but the price continues to rise Need to up the game to match the new hotels

Great property, but very dated which makes things seem dirty when they clearly clean daily. Breakfast had a lot of options but quality was pretty low. Overall great place which has become average over the years. Also, the parking is absolutely brutal.

Lovely outdoor space , spacious room although not happy with the lack of cleaning of the room even after reporting the problem twice. Nice gesture from the public relations Manuela on our 3rd and last night at the hotel. Much appreciated. The communication among members of staff and specially the management should improved.
