Had a great stay at Protobay. The service was amazing, the rooms were very clean, and the views were beautiful. The rooms are a little outdated, but the breakfast buffet was excellent, and the complimentary bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Toiletries were Bulgari and slippers provided.

For a long time I wanted to stay and did read many reviews the hotel is all people rave about and more ! Amazing balcony views and i did enjoy the view of the Port of Funchal it really has the best location in Funchal . The rooms are spacious with a very private balcony (6th floor) extremely comfortable beds. The service was excellent from everyone we met .

The hotel was marvellous in every way and we will certainly be returning next year.

03.11.2025 Michele

Lovely property but had unbelievable service in other hotels we stayed at. The Cliff Bay hotel the
Staff couldn’t care if you were there or not. Very difficult to find pool staff , restaurant , poor recommendations from reception staff etc - often just did it ourselves. Very surprised as we are not demanding at all but For the premium price I expect premium service . The other hotels we stayed at couldn’t do enough for you . I thot it was important to share as I would want to know

Cliff Bay - Top of the Line
Cliff Bay is an excellent hotel. The rooms, service, happy hour, breakfast, pool, spa… all great.

28.07.2025 Jasmine

Absolutely gorgeous and clean facilities, pools, rooms, and dining. I highly recommend the half board option, the food and service was impeccable. The staff was gracious enough to upgrade our room as a celebration for a HUGE job promotion I had just received (and the reason for my trip). Can’t recommend this place enough. The demographic is a bit older but my fiance and I expected this. The sites poolside were breathtaking and there were plenty of places to sit. Great wine selection and the menu at the main restaurant changed nightly making it so we never got bored. 10/10 Cliff Bay!

09.05.2025 Guest

The location and views were amazing. The staff was friendly everywhere except the reception. No greeting, no smile. That alone ruined the experience of staying at this hotel. But I think it's a coincidence.

Food was excellent. Staff and owner attentive and friendly. Slightly expensive but worth the extra for something special. ?

11.10.2017 Brigitte

Dreadful place manager very rude to customers and staff. Owner even worse
Keep away

31.05.2017 Roger

Well, Philippe certainly knows how to feed you. Try the fish , the best selection on Madeira.

Always goog for a laugh, that's if you are broad minded, have eaten here for years and hopefuĺly will be able to do so for years to come, thats if the results of the UK elections don't cock it up.

Obregada.

07.01.2017 Sebastian

Pretentious and bad value proposition compared to local alternatives (apparently the prices used to be significantly lower)... waited an hour for the starters which were mediocre and the main course swordfish was overcooked and dry, coffee was capsule based etc., wines were good though, current prices are 50-80 EUR/person/2-3 course meal incl. drinks

A really excellent restaurant. Old fashioned in a good way, thoroughly enjoyed the food. The manager Francisco, was walking around offering help and good service. The Madeira style tuna was delicious and well cooked. If you're visiting Funchal, it is worth a visit!

24.12.2017 Fredrik

Food was good, dont like the staff standing and talking in the same room as the customers are.

06.11.2017 Graham

If you are happy to pay €4.50 for a bottle of water and €7.00 for a small basket of bread for two then the rest of the experience is worth a visit. The service was good and the food tasty. Not much of an atmosphere but ok overall.

04.10.2017 Ash

The chateaubriand is fantastic value.

25.08.2017 Sion

One of the best pizzas I've had.
