Pestana carlton madiera
I stayed here for 4 nights mid June to celebrate my birthday with my husband. We had never been to Madiera and being in our early 30s I thought we would be bored. We were very wrong.
I did alot of research of where to stay and this hotel ticked all the boxes. Its sea front and walkable to the centre in just 15 mins. Only one steep hill on the way back to contend with! For dinners there are plenty of restaurants to choose from within minutes of leaving the lobby. Thoroughly recommend Beef and Wine and the steakhouse opposite. From our hotel there is also several supermarkets open till 10ish and rental cars.
The hotel - wonderful! Our budget didnt stretch to a sea view so we had the view of the mountains. Its was beautiful having the curtains open at an evening and watching the twinkly lights. Annoyingly there is a disco and a pub opposite which did kick out some noise in the early hours and kept us awake a few nights.
The rooms have safes, hairdryers, kettles, dressing gowns and slippers, everything you could need.
The breakfast is wonderful and all the staff involved are incredibly polite and professional. We sat out on the breakfast terrace each morning sipping our fizz overlooking the sea and pool.
The pool was well kept with loads of sunbeds, the indoor pool down by the sea level was a tranquil oasis , overlooking the sea and private cabanas to snooze in. The jacuzzi was big enough for at least 30! Not sure many people knew about it down there.
We played mini golf, which had definitely seen better days but it was free!
We had dinner in the hotel buffet which was delicious, and also tried the tarverna grill also delicious.
I had a massage in the magic Spa with a lady called G something.... It was incredible! Loved it, lots of new techniques and she was so pleasant to talk to.
Overall i think this hotel is wonderful. Its so pretty, the views outstanding, its kept so clean and the staff are ever so nice. If we come back to Madiera I would be staying here again.

Marketed as a 5* product, but it is nearer to a 3*+ The check in experience was slow. The room was a little tired, stains on carpet holes in curtains. Linen tired and well used. Staff warm and friendly. Public areas are well decorated. Half board restaurant nicely decorated and a wide range of food though the offer for vegetarians was very limited. The coffee machines in the morning did not deliver a 5* product.

Stayed a couple of nights ahead of our timeshare week and enjoyed the short stay in the hotel.
The strange disappointment however was that after you have used the initial tea/coffee in your room, you are charged ???4 for any replacements. This is a first for me in any hotel.
Unfortunately the Atlantic pool was being renovated and closed so the main pool area was very busy with limited sun beds available.
However the service is excellent and hotel location fantastic
