Hotels near Girao Cape, Ribeira Brava

The view from the room's balcony was one of the most amazing things about the hotel. The staff were helpful and friendly. It is an older hotel, but the way they have managed it is amazing; it feels like living in a 90s villa. The breakfast also has nice options, and they change a few items every day. Also, they have a spa.

Incredible grounds, well kept, almost like a small botanical garden. Lovely staff, good food

The breakfast The dinner The room was amazing

Room view, friendly staff, breakfasts good.

This was my first experience with Pestana, and I honestly could not have wished for a better introduction to the brand. I have stayed in many hotels over the years, and Pestana Royal is genuinely one of the most guest-focused and service-oriented hotels I have ever experienced. The hotel itself is excellent: spacious grounds for Madeira, several swimming pools, a tennis court, comfortable rooms and very good food. I especially appreciated the relaxed dining schedule — even if you miss breakfast, brunch starts immediately afterwards, so there is almost always something available to eat. This is incredibly convenient when travelling with children. But what made our stay truly special was the team. We often travel for our children’s birthdays, and I usually ask hotels if they can arrange a small surprise. Over the years, we have stayed in many very good and quite expensive hotels, but I can honestly say that I have never experienced this level of personal attention and responsiveness anywhere else. What Pestana Royal did for my daughter’s 5th birthday genuinely exceeded all my expectations. They prepared balloons and a birthday cake, and the Guest Relations Manager even personally bought her a beautiful present. The cake, the gift and all these thoughtful birthday surprises were provided at no extra charge, which made the gesture even more touching and unexpected. I had never experienced anything like this from a hotel before. My daughter was absolutely delighted and played with her new doll throughout our entire stay. Beautiful facilities matter, but what really makes a hotel memorable is its people. The team here made us feel genuinely cared for. Thank you for making our daughter’s birthday and our stay so special. We would absolutely love to return and wholeheartedly recommend Pestana Royal

Excellent place to be. I hihgly recommend. They take care of you so well. we arrived late but they managed to save us some dinner even it was very much after dinner time.

Great Staff, good and quit location, good Food

Tastefully decorated, excellent location, super friendly and professional staff, excellent restaurant and spa facilities, sea view

Eduardo is a great host Nice views Quiet location High quality rooms/studios Nice pool

A place right in the center of the main street of the village. Very welcoming staff and helpful with any request. They also helped me organize a small family event and made sure everything was to my satisfaction. Very friendly people

Everything, the location was perfect for a quieter get away than Funchal. Walking distance to restaurants, beaches, walks, etc.

Large room with Atlantic view. Very kind young staff.

Great location, modern rooms, friendly staff, and a varied breakfast. I was able to find a free on-site parking spot, but paid indoor parking is also available. Overall, a great stay!

The location was fantastic. Facilities also. The staff they ware very nice and always open to help. The room was big, kitchnet was the best. Very clean, very calm. New and innovative.

Fantastic location facing the sea with a private balcony to watch the sunset. The pool was a delight after hiking all day and although it's not heated, it was clean and refreshing. The beds are the most comfortable we've ever had! Our room was quiet and there was zero noise from anywhere in the hotel. The aircon was a bonus too. Delicious breakfast! Fruits, pastries, cooked meals if required and a fantastic selection of fruit juices, tea and coffee to help yourself to. Exceptional food throughout our stay - from both the evening buffet meal (we paid extra for) and the 'snack' bar (which was excellent too, just better for us as we didn't need three courses). Incredibly helpful and friendly staff who always wanted to please!

This hotel is great value for the money. Room made up every day; front desk is 24/7. Very pretty grounds with grass and trees. Pools are excellent—indoor and outdoor pools appear to be recently refurbished, both of them heated. Yes, you read correctly, the outdoor pool is heated! Unlike almost every other outdoor pool in Madeira, you can go in it in January/February. Indoor hot tub was clean and well maintained, though it could have been hotter. Sauna was also clean and well maintained and very hot. Kitchenette has a fridge, cooktop, pot, pan, kettle, silverware, dishes—enough to make grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. Shower had good pressure and temperature. TV has lots of channels including English language ones. Very good location—short walk to water, and the Forum shopping mall is across the street. Bar/lounge in lobby has live music almost every night. Yes, it is old and worn, but when taking the price into account, this is an excellent hotel. For those giving negative reviews, they should have stayed at one of the many very nice resort hotels in the area…for double the price.

We got a corner room with two different balconies and two different views — one of the ocean, and one of the sea and the city. This was above our expectations. Would highly recommend to anyone. The service at the pool for drinks and snacks were efficient and courteous. It was not too crowded. The location of the hotel is close to numerous restaurants. There is a nice view outdoor seating area to enjoy a drink or two, esp. at night when the lights of the buildings and houses on the mountain make a pretty sight.

Awsome breakfast and service personals were very nice.

The grounds are very beautiful and well kept. The breakfast was exceptional and everything was of high quality. We had a beautiful room with a private secluded balcony in one of the older buildings, which we really enjoyed.

Breakfast excellent Genuine warmth and helpfulness of all the staff

Love the cleanness and beautiful hotel decor and ambiance. Also very spacious that doesn’t feel crowded. Staff very professional and friendly. Comfortable and luxurious at the same time The Tale restaurant was awesome! Food at pool/bar very good.

“Absolutely loved our stay! The food is fantastic, and the meal schedule is brilliantly designed so that there’s always something to munch on, practically 24/7. Trust me, kids won’t go hungry here. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all delicious. The pool is great, and for the cooler days, there’s a heated one to dive into — perfection! But honestly, the crown jewel of this hotel (aside from the fabulous pool) has to be the reception floor with the bar. It’s got comfy sofas, amazing cocktails, and a killer view. It’s the kind of bar where life is always buzzing. If you picture the perfect lobby bar, this is it!”
