Overall Ratings & Reviews Estalagem Da Ponta Do Sol

Really interesting building, with access to the various levels via external escalators. An intriguing Bond villain vibe! The staff were all lovely, facilities were very good, and the rooms were simple but pleasant. The spa area was sometimes a little understaffed, but the pool was very nice and clean, with beautiful views. The restaurant was excellent, as was the breakfast. Overall a really nice stay!

We loved our stay at this beautiful hotel in Ponta Do Sol. Felt like a resort! Gorgeous grounds, pool and spa. Many spaces to sit and enjoy a drink. The views are exceptional throughout the hotel. Breakfast was amazing and offered a great variety. We highly recommend a stay here if visiting PDS

A great place - set in the cliff tops with amazing views. Great spa facilities, large comfortable beds, superb food, and friendly and efficient staff. The free shuttle buses/taxis to and from the airport, local walking areas and Funchal, meant we didn't have to hire a car, and there were also free e-bikes which were great. Ponta do Sol is quiet, but there are a few bars/restaurants which served great food.

Exceeded my expectations. The property is a bit dated / could use some upkeep, eg. caulking in the showers. However the property itself, views, pool, grounds was just incredible. Food at breakfast was also very good, staff was helpful. Really glad we stayed!

Everything was AMAISING!!! Especially view and the breakfast … Only the room equipment is a little bit dated - crucking bed and running shower … But!!! If I will have the possibility - I will turn back! For sure!!!

Fantastic staff and food in restaurant excellent

Highly recommend this hotel. Great location, close to restaurants and beach. Exceptional staff.

Great hotel with amazing views, very good breakfast, and daily complimentary drop offs at the levadas. Excellent value all round!

Hotel occupies a stunning plot set up on the hill over multiple levels. The breakfast was excellent and all the staff were great with the exception of Celina who was outstanding - going out of her way to accommodate any requests, and possessing always a cheery disposition. The dinner menu was good but when you stay for more than one week is boring and would benefit from, at the very least, one daily special. The room was tired, in particular the bathroom with the shower door not shutting and the toilet seat poorly fitted. We had a beach towel on arrival but it would have been nice if this was automatically changed at the end of week one. The hotel apparently had a barbeque for the first time on the evening before we left and our driver to the airport asked whether we had been but we had no idea of its existence. On two nights a week there were music events (open to outside visitors) which impacted on the rest of the hotel which was a shame as really they should have been in addition to 'normal service'. The pool was beautiful but there were at least 7 hard plastic sunbeds that were missing their padded topper which meant if you were out in the morning you would possibly end up in the afternoon on a very uncomfotable sunbed - for not much cost I'm sure these could have been replaced. I would recommend the hotel as a very restful holiday but would recommend they address the few niggly issues and invest a bit of money in the tired areas

A beautifully situated hotel with a modern design in a well maintained garden. The views are unique

Absolutely stunning hotel, just love the architecture and how it is built into the hillside. Great facilities and lovely food, all the staff are really friendly and helpful.

A fabulous hotel with great views. Good food, friendly staff Good clean rooms

Amazing views, friendly staff who genuinely made us feel very welcome and couldn't do enough to make our stay memorable. Food delicious and well presented. Shuttle to Funchal and for island tours great. Beautiful place we hope to be back

The hotel is sited in an amazing position and there were stunning views from most areas. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The hotel facilities were good. There wasn't a huge choice for breakfast but it was stylishly presented, fresh and most enjoyable. Fruit was in abundance! All the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The transport provided was useful, efficient and much appreciated. All covid restrictions were well observed and we felt safe. My only criticism is that there are a lot of steps and not many handrails!

Great hotel - very laid back. Good food, friendly service and beautiful views.

Beautiful hotel set in an amazing location. The outdoor swimming was lovely. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel!

The design and location is amazing. It is quiet and peaceful. Few children. It is however, a little tired and ready for a refit or TLC (renovation works were going on whilst we were there). It was disappointing that a lift was out of service for the whole week. Not easy to carry luggage up stairs, with no assistance from staff.

Amazing hotel lovely large bedroom & balcony beautifully kept grounds & pool the staff were polite & helpful good breakfast with a nice restaurant would definitely visit this hotel again

The staff were excellent and the food was first class. The rooms were large and comfortable. The hotel has plenty of areas to sit and admire the view and a great pool area to relax. Will definitely be back here?

I'm not a big fan of heights, there are a lot of bridges to cross to access the elevators, which as the hotel is set across many levels need to be crossed a lot! However there are alternative routes via stairs if you can manage them. We loved the lay out and clever use of space to maximize the views from the cliff top
