A fantastic experience spending a week here on holiday. It's one of the quieter hotels that I have stayed at with the guests mostly being retired. This means that any entertainment is relatively low key, but certainly doesn't lack quality. There is very little that can be criticised; everything is clean & tidy, the food is great and the service is awesome. the team that work there all take pride in their work if they're running the restaurant or helping to set up the sun loungers by the pool. Be aware that there is a dress code (particularly for dinner) and unlike most places it is enforced. So don't think that you can turn up to dinner in flip-flops and your football shirt. It's all very discreet and well managed, but it is there. This makes the whole experience more valuable. If you want to relax in a great location, I'll highly recommend this. You'll find cheaper hotels, but you will have to go a long way to find a better one.

Unanimous decision: 10 out of 10. We stayed for 5 nights in late August. Perfect location, excellent facilities grounds, rooms, service, staff, ambiance, food. This was our final destination on a two-week-long vacation (Faial, Sao Miguel, Madeira). What a great location from which to explore Madeira. You cannot go wrong. Neither my husband nor I have one negative comment to issue, and we can’t wait to return!! Thank you, Cliff Bay, for truly delivering a 5-star experience!

I am currently staying at the Cliff Bay Hotel and have been thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. The service is exceptional, with staff consistently demonstrating a high standard of professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality. The hotel's elevated position offers breathtaking views, enhancing the serene and luxurious atmosphere. Furthermore, the culinary offerings are outstanding each meal has been expertly prepared and elegantly presented. The Cliff Bay Hotel truly excels in providing a refined and memorable stay. Lastly, for those wondering: yes, you can swim in the sea. The hotel provides two lifeguards on duty at all times by the water, ensuring guest safety. The sea is remarkably clear so pristine, it almost feels drinkable. A visit to the Cliff Bay Hotel comes highly recommended and should be made without hesitation. The best!

It’s quiet and peaceful resort with direct access to the sea, which is used jointly with its neighbor Les Suites. Advantages: indoor pool, heated indoor pool, good variety for breakfast, quietness, good service team and very nice music shows during breakfast and dinner. Disadvantages: the furniture, carpets and overall little bit outdated and required maintenance. The basic dinner restaurant is 55Euros for starter/main course/desert, but IMHO not tasty (but this could be questionable). GYM is also quite outdated and small.

A lovely hotel. I recommend it if you would like a luxury holiday. Staff are very friendly, a great buffet breakfast, delicious fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, lovely bread & local cakes & pastries, also a choice of hot food. There is a lovely swimming pool, a gym , a spa, 3 restaurants, a bar with entertainment & there is also a cinema. If you fancy a 5 star holiday in Madeira this is the place to go. One thing I was not happy about was my husband booked a massage for his back. He went for the massage and the therapist started to to massage his bottom first , he explained he only wanted his shoulders& top of his back done. She continued to massage his bottom. He asked her to stop & she didn't. This is not acceptable. If a client does not want something done , respect their wishes. I had a manicure & it didn't last a week. This was also disappointing. Our experience at the Spa was disappointing. On the plus l had a leg massage & that was good .
