"We arrived at night so we could not see the beauty of this resort. After a very long and difficult trip to arrive at the resort, our first impression was how wonderful and helpful the staff was. We were upgraded to the most beautiful villa. We were celebrating an anniversary and the hotel arranged for a private room at the most popular restaurant. They made our anniversary dinner very special. The attention was unmatched and truly appreciated. The resort is truly amazing for those who enjoy excellent food, quiet moments, hiking, ocean activities. The city of Funchal is a 30min ride but worth it. Lots to do and see. We will definitely return but plan on spending a longer period of time to get to enjoy everything the resort and Madeira have to offer."
"We had such a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything about it exceeded our expectations. The property itself is modern, stylish, and very clean, which made it feel comfortable and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful ocean view from our balcony. It was so relaxing to sit outside and take in the scenery—definitely a memorable part of our trip.
The location is another big plus. The hotel is conveniently situated close to the water, making it easy to enjoy walks along the shoreline, and it’s also near a variety of shops, and a mall, which was perfect for browsing and picking up anything we needed.
We were also very happy with the buffet breakfast. There was a great variety of choices, and everything was fresh and delicious—such a great way to start each day.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!"
"The food at this hotel makes up for all the shortcomings! Obsessed with buffet food and Italian restaurant was great too. The only downsides of this hotel are the only two small elevators for the whole hotel and lack of entertainment. Other than that spa is good, massage is amazing. The covered pool is everything. Overall recommend this hotel "
"Clean and comfortable room and friendly staff.
However the pool was closed on the day of our arrival as a pigeon had drowned in it.
Was told it would b shut for two days but it opened the following day but we were not told until 6pm.
The hot buffet breakfast items in particular scrambled eggs, mushrooms, bacon and beans were lukewarm warm at best irrespective of the time breakfast was taken.
Our room 107 was over a side street above a cafe.
Lovely room, very clean and comfortable with a great shower bathroom etc.
However the adjacent cafe was very noisy, not their customers but the staff shutting up around midnight and then opening at 0500, dragging tables and chairs about made it impossible to sleep with the windows open.
Such a shame as it’s a lovely hotel in a prime location, I can get over the adjacent cafe as it’s the price of a city centre location and the hotel can’t be blamed for the pidgins inability to swim. So it’s just the cold (hot) breakfast that I’m really unhappy about, it put me off trying the hotel’s restaurant. No bad thing as it’s surrounded by so many places to eat at.
A good stay that with a bit more attention would have been excellent."
Savoy Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World - Savoy Signature
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great experience at the Savoy, its beautiful and staff was very friendly and helpful. Most importantly, its location is perfect, easy to explore surrounding attractions.
Breakfast was excellent, with great variety.
Staff were super good.
Will definitely recommend it highly."
"Excellent breakfast and dinner buffets.
Clean, quiet and friendly.
A good inland location, away from the traffic, crowds and noise of hotels near the coast and in coastal towns."
"I can’t rave enough about this hotel!! Parking included, fantastic and knowledgeable staff, unbelievable brunch/breakfast and the room was just outstanding. Reception was so patient with all my questions. Female staff really spent time with me and gave me the best advice. I really wish I remembered her name but she is exceptionally good at her role. I do wish there was a bottle opener in the room instead of having to get it from the front desk but that’s a small suggestion. "
"This very dated hotel is central so that makes it quite good. The rooms are fine and there are things to do.
The food is average and flavourless. The staff seem always unhappy and overall I would say it is fine because of location but quite expensive given how dated and how I felt the service was.
They had said I would stay in my room for 2 nights given a tour group I was joining night 2 - yet they yelled at me at the front desk and make me move in a rushed format when I went to confirm.
I would not stay here again."
