The location is fantastic, the room was very clean and well maintained, the staff was dedicated, friendly and efficient. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds that have slept in so far. Exceptional hospitality and very delicious food. Will gladly return!

Lots of amenities and restaurants but make note they all except the pool bar require rsvp. Lots of older crowd as well.

as always it's the hotel views and how everyone naked your feelings welcome!

The 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.

Everything was amazing! The suite was awesome, food, staff, views… 5 stars all around!

ideal 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.

Fantastic location, lovely property, extremely nice front desk staff, amazing breakfast buffet, great value

Regretfully only one night but we were upgraded to a beautiful suite with an amazing terrace with an open view to the ocean. Restaurant outstanding! Thank you

Super friendly and helpful staff, lots of attention to detail, spacious room with very comfortable bed, awesome location with amazing views, and great restaurants, namely Il Gallo d'Oro and Avista.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, the breakfast was great, views from around the hotel and room are spectacular!
