Lots of amenities and restaurants but make note they all except the pool bar require rsvp. Lots of older crowd as well.
United States of Americaas always it's the hotel views and how everyone naked your feelings welcome!
United States of AmericaThe Cliff Bay was welcoming and the staff really friendly. We had a lovely room on Floor 10 overlooking the harbour and Funchal. We opted for b&b and the breakfasts had a good choice of continental breakfast and hot food as well as being able to select other items from the a la carte menu. The hotel was spotlessly clean and of a classic Madeiran style with lots of wood panelling rather than being super modern. The balcony was equipped with chairs and a table as well as sunloungers.
United KingdomEverything was amazing! The suite was awesome, food, staff, views… 5 stars all around!
United States of Americaideal location. Friendly, courteous and helpful staff. and the options were incredible… lots of spots to hang out in the sun, great dining, and they had live music in one of the bars every night. The food at each of the restaurants was great.
