Lovraj Lachhiramani
We visited the Cliff bar at this stunning, classic hotel in Nov 2024. Although we didn’t stay at the hotel, we were impressed by its beautiful interiors and overall charm. Based on this experience, we’re already planning to stay here for a couple of days next year! The bar itself was elegantly designed—sophisticated with an amazing sunset view at the outdoor seating area. They were kind enough to prepare a vegetarian pasta that wasn’t on the menu. We also ordered a few drinks, and both were delightful. The pasta was well-prepared, and the drinks complemented the ambiance perfectly. The service was excellent—attentive and professional, which made the experience even more enjoyable. There was live music and happy hour between 5-6 pm. The hotel exuded an old-world charm, blending timeless elegance with modern sophistication. Its location was also fantastic, making it even more appealing. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and we can’t wait to return for a longer stay next time!

We stayed at Cliff Bay during our honeymoon to Portugal. The staff was fantastic and the view from our room looking across the bay to Funchal was amazing. The breakfast buffet was also extensive and a great way to start the day. The walk to central Funchal was only about 30 minutes and very pedestrian friendly. The staff was happy to help arrange a taxi if needed.

Adrian Helfenstein
We have spent a week at the hotel. The resort is very nice and spacious (more classic than modern) and you can easily relax, access the pools and the ocean or do sports. The service personnel is very friendly and courteous. The restaurants are great too, in particular the daily fresh fish offers. A major plus is the childcare the hotel offers. Any parent can relate to the anxiety connected to handing your child over to strangers, but we could not have imagined anyone more up to the task than Rita, big thanks again!

This place is amazing! Our second trip here and it continues to outdo itself with fantastic staff that are so friendly and welcoming. The rooms are perfect, with amazing views and a fantastic size. Our 10 year old daughter feels right at home and the staff are so welcoming to her. The food is fantastic too and the happy hour on the pier even better. We were very sad to leave and will be back next year again! Thank you for such an amazing holiday.

Truly an amazing stay in Funchal, Madeira. This was the first time my family and I got to visit Madeira together and we couldn’t have asked for a better “home away from home.” The food and drinks were outstanding — everything from breakfast on the outdoor patio to poolside lunch. We enjoyed many afternoons swimming in the number of pools (indoor and outdoor) and loved swimming off the pier and snorkeling. The rooms were clean and extremely comfortable — the ocean views we had were sensational! We got to experience a beach front happy hour our last night and it may have been our favorite day! The passionfruit mojitos were so good. One note for anyone who is planning to stay, the hotel does seem highly desired and catered more towards senior clientele. For someone who is in their 30s, there weren’t a lot of people our age and activities suited for us. Not sure if this was because of the time of year we visited (June/July). Overall, HIGHLY recommend Cliff Bay if you are planning to stay in Funchal. We will 100% be back.
