Amazing views from the hotel, hotel’s ground are gorgeous and well maintained, the attention to details in all the areas, the extremely friendly staff.
CanadaThis is by far my favorite hotel in Madeira. I'm originally Madeira try to come back every couple of years and stay at different hotels. But I always like to end at the Cliff Bay. From the time you enter the hotel you get first class treatment. Everyone is so friendly.The rooms are spotless the flower decoration throughout the hotel is spectacular. The view from our room with a balcony on the 6th floor is spectacular. The entertainment is also great throughout the day and evening. But my favorite part of my stay is the. BREAKFAST! Amazing!!
