    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.

    A prom unwinds from the hotel’s doorstep, plus a free shuttle bus will whisk you away to Funchal’s city centre in under 15 minutes.

    First all inclusive holiday

    We stayed at this hotel for a week at the beginning of November. This was our first all inclusive holiday. We were upgraded to a suite on arrival which was in the building across the car park. It was great! Spacious and spotless! Lovely sea view from the large balcony. We had to go over to the main hotel for all our food and drinks. The dining room was very busy at times but we always managed to find a seat. The food was very good. Negative - flies were a nuisance in the dining room. We had to queue at the bar on occasions. The Wi-fi connection was very good. Nice pool areas though water was pretty cold. There is a shuttle bus in to Funchal. We got this once but had to return in a taxi with another couple as there was no room on the bus for us (12 euros). The shuttle bus services 3 Pestana hotels so at peak times you cannot be guaranteed a seat. You can walk from the hotel to Camara de Lobos along the coast path which is a pleasant walk (approximately 40 mins). The staff work really hard especially the cleaning staff. We enjoyed our all inclusive experience and would stay again.

    A pleasant and restful week at the Pestana Ocean Bay All Inclusive Hotel

    I was pleasantly surprised during my visit for a week. Although, a bit out dated, the hotel was clean and orderly. Hotel staff were very polite and helpful. I had a sea view room with a balcony. The sound of the waves breaking outside was very pleasant as well as the grounds. The surrounding area was very peaceful and the locals were polite and respectful of tourists. The food was excellent as was the service. The bar personal were very kind and accommodating. The cleaning ladies did a good job. It was mainly an older crowd which was according to my taste. Quiet nights for a good nights sleep. I enjoy walking so walking to shopping and the cities center was not out of the question as well as a walk to a small fishing village 5 km. along a coastal walkway. If you like clean air, good drinking water, good local grown food, long walks and good vibes this is the place to stay. I can highly recommend a visit at this hotel. As a holiday destination, it far exceeded all my expectations. I do plan to visit again in 2019.
    Excellent hotel and sea views.

    Spacious room with wonderful view ( 6th Floor).Hotel kept exceedingly clean by the hard working staff. Very nice pool and gardens. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was very good. Uphill to the main road, rather steep. Free coach to Funchal several times a day, bonus. I would stay here again.
    Exceeded all our expectations.

    This hotel was far better than we hoped for. The excellent staff, spotless pool area & general upkeep of this hotel is first class. The dining areas & quality of food was also of a very high standard. Every member of staff who we came into contact with, receptionist, the cleaner, pool attendant, restaurant manager, waiters, waitresses, bar staff were all most helpful & very polite. Special mention for barman Hugo who works non stop & knows everyone within a day or so. All rooms have sea views & again were kept spotless. We will come back soon & would highly recommend this hotel to all.
