My girlfriend and I came to Madeira for the weather and food, neither of which disappointed (apart from a rainy last day). The Pestana Carlton offered us a great location with friendly and helpful staff. The pool areas were well maintained and the access to the sea by the lower tier pool was excellent. We opted for a bed & breakfast package which was great value for money with the breakfast buffet offering a huge choice that really set you up for the day.
The hotel itself is situated in a great spot with only a short walk to the marina, many local restaurants and bars as well as numerous small shops.
During our stay it was my girlfriend???s birthday and I was able to arrange a surprise for her with the help of the hotel. They arranged for some flowers and a bottle of wine to be left in the room. They also supplied a cake for her which went down a treat as well as providing a further bottle of wine for us later that evening.
The only slight let down with the hotel was the room we had. While it was clean, tidy and served it???s purpose, it was clear that the room we were in, which was one without a sea view, was not as well cared for as those with the sea view. The room looked a bit shabby in places and would benefit from a freshening up. That being said, the room had everything we needed and served as a great base for our week away. I would strongly recommend.

My husband and I have just returned home from a lovely 5 day break at the Pestana Carlton Madeira Hotel. This is a large, spotlessly clean and well managed hotel. The staff are very professional and go out of their way to be helpful and friendly at all times. The pool areas are all clean and the gardens beautifully maintained. The service was a bit slow in the pool bar when having table service but not a problem as we were on holiday and not in hurry. The breakfast buffet was plentiful and replenished regularly. The waiting staff were all friendly and worked extremely hard to clear tables ready for the next guests and always with a smile. My only criticism for this hotel was that the beds and pillows were very hard. We were only staying for 4 nights so much of an issue for us but this is the only reason I would award the hotel 4 stars and not 5. In short, we had a lovely stay here and it was very good value for money
