Pestana CR7 Funchal

We flew to Funchal to CR7 from Porto Santo island to break up our two weeks at Pestana Columbus, and to give our 7yr old a bit of a treat. The staff were really great throughout our stay, very friendly, professional, helpful, and easy going. The style and decor throughout the hotel is absolutely stunning, the way random items look so great together, absolutely beautiful. The food menu is small, burgers/pizza's etc, all of which were amazing and very reasonably priced. The drinks we had were also good. Breakfast was also nice, fresh, and offered the "smoothie of the day" which was lovely. There is some seating at ground level outside looking on to the harbor and tourists/non residents/locals can drop in for food, and there's also plenty seating indoors for food or a cold Cervaja! A "No Straw" policy, which i like..... Pestana are doing their bit with regards to minimizing plastic pollution. Guests are given a free ticket to the museum downstairs which is awesome. Hotel is situated very near the city center, however having been to Funchal a few times we made our way up and along Estrada Monumental for our evening meal at a place we've enjoyed in the past. The night view of the city from the pool area is stunning. There is a rooftop bar but i think it only opens at weekends and for party's. Our room was immaculate, very stylish, comfortable, and the bed was giant! Even the bedding oozed quality. Safe and Fridge in the wardrobe, and we had a Playstation in our room! I think the toiletries may have all been Calvin Klein "Eternity", they smelled very nice. All room lighting is remote controlled, and you can switch on a blue "halo" in the rooms if you want. Bus stops to and from airport (Aerobus) are handy to hotel, and it's a 2 minute walk to heart of the small city. All in all a very nice experience, and one to remember, and if we're ever in Funchal we'll probably have another night in it. It's a very modern classy but easy going hotel which we all loved, and a must visit for Cristiano fans. Thank you Vera and Pestana for another great experience.

This hotel is excellent and was everything we expected it to be and more. The standard throughout the hotel is very high. The main bar and restaurant area very tastefully decorated, modern, comfortable and overall a very nice area to sit and just enjoy the atmosphere that is CR7. The menu is simple, the food excellent & prices very reasonable, certainly not overpriced. The rooms are very well equipped with all mod cons and very tastefully decorated to a high standard, the bedding and bed were amazing. The staff were very friendly and very accommodating, exactly as we have come to appreciate with the Pestana hotels we have stayed in. A must stay for any CR fan and this visit has given my son some very special memories he will look back on for many years to come. Thank you for an amazing stay.
