Pestana Ocean Bay Hotel
Portugal, Europe
Funchal
The four star Pestana Ocean Bay Hotel overlooks the ocean – and such a wonderful setting deserves a hotel of equal character. The Pestana Bay Aparthotel doesn't disappoint. It's a uniquely stylish hotel, full of idiosyncratic touches that set it apart and give it a really wonderful character.
Set on the bay at Praia Formosa, just a few miles west of the capital Funchal, the Pestana Ocean Bay Hotel is a wonderful beach resort. The hotel offers transportation to Funchal city, courtesy of the hotels (subject days and time table schedules as per units program, “first come, first served” basis). It's an extraordinary location; backed by cliffs, the hotel is set in stunning gardens, with an impressive pool area leading down to the sea. There are surely no more spectacular hotel settings in Madeira than this.
The Pestana Ocean Bay Hotel is a beautiful beach resort with four star facilities:
There are so many talking points: the bay, the cliffs, the gardens and the pool are all fabulous features of this amazing beach resort. Just imagine stepping out into the fragrant gardens, wending your way to the pool and enjoying a swim as you look out over the sea. It's a defining moment of any holiday at the Pestana Bay Ocean Aparthotel.
In keeping with the overall sense of style and place, accommodation at the Pestana Ocean Bay Hotel is exceptional. Again, rooms are uniquely furnished – all very tastefully – giving a real sense of this not being a hotel just like any other. All spacious twin and double bedded seaview rooms have a well-equipped bathroom, balcony and kitchenette with a fridge and kettle. Rooms also feature cable TV radio and telephone. An in room safe is available at a fee payable locally. To make your holiday at the Pestana Bay Ocean Aparthotel that little more special and for a little more luxury you can upgrade your room for a small supplement to a Junior Suite.
As well as the spectacular outdoor pool, you'll certainly want to try the whirlpool and fitness room with its fabulous combination of sauna and Turkish bath. We recommend adding a massage to your treatment regime too – it is, after all, time to take it easy and really relax.
With a games room, two bars and the restaurant (which is well worth checking out) you really will have everything you need for a fantastic stay and a taste of the best that Madeira has to offer.
Enjoy Madeira at its most spectacular from the comfortable surroundings of the Pestana Bay Ocean Aparthotel.

THANKS to the Barteam
Beautyfull holiday time specially with the barmen Mohammad ISLAM and Masud RANA who are 2 sympathic gently and smiling men. Thanks to their respectfull attitude I was feeling nice all day long.
Manuela made the restaurant the best part of our stay
Five nights all-inclusive with our two children, 10 and 7. The resort does the basics well for a family: sea-view room, several pools, the beach promenade right outside the door.
What we will remember is Manuela Garanito in the restaurant. From the first meal she looked after our kids, walked them through the buffet, steered them towards food they would actually eat, and noticed anything else we needed before we asked. By the second day they were looking for her by name. She was attentive, funny with the children and kind to all four of us.
Thank you, Manuela. You made the holiday.

Fantastic staff
Relaxing, wonderful 2 weeks at thos Hotel. The food was excellent and so was our room. The view across the ocean is fabulous. Most of all the staff are exceptional and did everything possible to make us feel welcome and to make our holiday special. Can't wait to return.
Wonderful stay at a wonderful island
We had a wonderful stay at the hotel and truly felt at home. What made our experience so special was the staff, who were incredibly kind, professional, and always made us feel welcome and comfortable. I would especially like to thank Manuela Garanito from the restaurant. Her passion and dedication for the guests were evident in everything she did. She is doing an outstanding job together with her colleagues, and this is a real asset to the team.
Wish Manuela and the entire hotel team all the very best. Thank you!
