Not a 5-star hotel.
Staff bored of their work, and you can see and feel it. Sometimes arguing and are loud even when guests are around.
Most guests elderly, this hotel is not for younger people.
The food they serve at the restaurantes, except bits of the breakfast, are a joke. Its horrible! Ordered a risotto, but got a soup with hard rice.
At breakfast, the chef making omelettes and eggs, only used one pan instead of making more omelettes at once? Saving money for the hotel? It made people stand in line for a long time.
In bed plastic covers under the sheets, as you for children. Very uncomfortable. There are other things to use if you want to protect the madrasses. Bed linen old and washed down.
Facilities nice, but to small for all guests.
Rooms very plain and simple, not a luxury feeling. Bathroom, the walls in the shower, have they ever been cleaned?
Got a new room after first night, because my room smelled of mould, proberbly from the wall behind the bed. Nice of the reception to change, thank you!
The hotel, because of the facilities, is ranked as a 5-star, but its not in reality.
Stayed earlier at Pestana Promenad, which is a 4-star ranked hotel, but in reality it is better than Pestana Grand. And the staff is realy nice and welcoming!

Two times at the same place in July, 2 years in a row. A fantastic experience each time, and that’s a performance. Very stable and experienced crew, nice people who care. Nice rooms, and you should definitely give a try to the front facing suites if you can. The views and the calm are amazing. The outside amenities are to us perfect : very calm and relaxing, great garden with tons of flowers, and with amazing views of the ocean and Cabo Girao. Cabo Girao is a spectacle each morning, evening and even throughout the day. And you can eat of swim with this in front of you. Eating options are OK, good buffet and several restaurants in the place. And the general location if quite perfect, with access to a great neighborhood, calm and secure. One of our best hotel experiences in years.

The views from the room were priceless, the customer service was top notch, and the use of Judita's laundry service was both efficient and s cost savings.

Great location with all available amenities. Easy access to Forum Madeira mall as well as Funchal attractions. The staff are extremely positive and proactive to make your stay comfortable. Only negative is that the hotel needs a revamp with the flooring in the common areas, the dining area a bit run down. The rooms are really good size but again, the furniture needs a revamp.

The buffet selections were good for breakfast and dinner. Enjoyed the pool area and nice walk along the promenade. However as most guests mentioned the hotel needs updating.

Great location. We walked the Lido everyday to Praia Formosa and we walked one day to Funchal (60 minutes). We also used the Yellow Hop On Hop Off bus which had 2 stops really close to the hotel.
The staff could not be more helpful. Ask for a west facing room. We had a lovely ocean view, but could not see sunset from our balcony. No problem, easily seen from the pool area.

Lovely hotel with great amenities. Excellent large room which was very comfortable. Beautiful gardens and quiet surroundings but about 1 hour walk to centre of Funchal. There is no hotel shuttle into Funchal - would be good if provided as buses are quite busy. Choice of restaurants was good and half board a good option although there are plenty of restaurants on the walk in to Funchal. There is no shuttle service from or to the airport - either taxi (€45 approx) or bus. Tea/coffee supplied on arrival but need to request after if more required as not automatically replenished.
Overall would highly recommend if you are happy to walk or bus to Funchal when needed.

We particularly enjoyed the outdoor pool area and the hotel generally was lovely.
The buffet restaurant was poorly organised for easy flow of guests. It was good to have alternative options. Some staff were excellent; others were possibly still being trained. If we asked for coffee, we needed to remember to ask for cups too!
Our sea view room was beautiful and spacious. Please get rid of the plastic mattress protectors though - so uncomfortable.

Madeira's a great spot to vacation and we thoroughly recommend the Pestana Grand Ocean Resort. It's in a quiet location - about 25 mins drive from the airport, so no flight noise and far enough away from the cruise ship dock to be impacted by their daily arrival - but still convenient for Funchal via bus or walking along the promenade. The staff were great and very friendly/helpful, the room we booked had a fine ocean view and was spotless. We'd certainly stay there again.

Good all around resort, if a little quiet and sedate for some. Could use another seafood restaurant nearby instead of a couple of miles away. Maybe not charge for every little thing.
Still, we had a good stay.
