    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    The Pestana Ocean Bay All Inclusive Resort’s beachfront spot is just one of the reasons it’s scooped a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 3 years running.

    The Pestana Ocean Bay All Inclusive Resort is right next to a big pebble beach, so ocean views come as standard. You’ll catch them at the pool and from the room balconies.

    Plus a free shuttle bus will whisk you away to Funchal’s city centre in under 15 minutes.

    While you're away, you can speak to us anytime - we're available 24/7 via the TUI App, phone, SMS and email. The easy-to-use TUI App is also packed with info and tips. It sends you important updates, like your airport transfer times, too.

    We went in March. The weather was warm and sunny. We were on the top floor. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony and look out to sea with nothing blocking the view. The room was spacious and clean. You can hear the sea at night. The staff were helpful and helpful. The only downside was the fact that everything is open plan...You come into reception, then into the bar area and then into the restaurant. There is only one bar area and it gets a bit noisy. The guests were mainly British and German. Unfortunately, due to the outbreak of the virus, there was no entertainment. The food was generally good. We liked the way it had been cooked. We went all inclusive. There is a shuttle bus into Funchal. You can walk about 3 miles to the next village, as it is a little bit away from the town. We would go again.

    Hi We stayed for 7 nights in March. The weather was good with plenty of sunshine. The hotel is clean and staff are excellent, especially IVAN the bar man, he was excellent and very funny. Rooms are good and cleaned every day. The food was good . With plenty to choose from Only negative comment was lack of entertainment. They had a kareoke with was a good laugh Had people up dancing. Then one night was local dancers for about 1 hour, good show. There is a free shuttle bus into funchal as the hotel is about 20 minute drive away.. We went on a trip to the volcanic pools which i would recomend. Also up on the cable car is a brilliant experience. Maderia is a very safe place . Really enjoyed our stay and will reurn obe day. Regards Ian and Jayne.

    All rooms are large and sea-facing. Great Wi-fi all over the hotel including the pool area and outside restaurant area. We always stay for 1 month and still thoroughly enjoy the walk in to town or to Cámara de Lobos along a beachside walkway. At the end of our trip the hotel was closing due to Coronavirus but all services were maintained as best they could be, even though a State of Emergency was declared.
    Well done Ocean Bay

    We stayed last week 28 Feb to 6 March in room 311 which was our first time in Maderia. The room was ideal, just the right height with lovely views of the sea. Well furnished and kept very clean by a lovely cleaning lady. The food was well cooked with plenty of choices at all main meals. For an all inclusive deal I thought the food and drinks choices were very good. The public areas of the hotel were always spotless and all staff were friendly and helpful. Sadly the tunnel along the shore was closed so we were unable to walk into Funchal but the free shuttle bus was a welcome surprise to get us out and about. We met some nice people during the evenings and enjoyed the entertainment. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return soon.
    End of February break in the sun

    This was a bit of a last minute break for a few days in the sun. We were not disappointed! Although a mixture of sun and cloud, it was about 20 degrees and far better than I had imagined. I will be packing more shorts and t-shirts, next time! The hotel was excellent. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The food was excellent with ample choice. Nice rooms with balconies. Crystal clear swimming pool. And everywhere was spotlessly clean. My partner ended our stay by saying that the only complaint he had was that he couldn't find anything to complain about! We will certainly be returning.
