Les Suites At The Cliff Bay

"Nothing to criticise here, we enjoyed a really good stay. Les Suites is situated adjacent to its ‘big brother’ hotel, the Cliff Bay. There are only 23 suites meaning that you can enjoy the seclusion and privacy of a small hotel environment and yet have easy access to the pools, restaurants and other amenities next door. As for the Suites area itself, it has a great outdoor space with plenty of sun beds, a large infinity pool, snack bar, outdoor jacuzzi and stunning views of the Bay and nearby central Funchal. It’s a very calm, peaceful place to relax. All the suites look to be of a high standard. We booked a duplex suite - it was huge with 2 bathrooms and two balconies and comfortably furnished. The fundamentals were spot on : a very comfy bed, a powerful shower and easy to use tea and coffee making facilities. All the added extras were appreciated - free soft drinks, a daily fruit basket, a nightly turn-down service and a complimentary bottle of champagne on arrival. Breakfast was served at Les Suites own restaurant, Avista. It’s high quality with plenty of choice and the option of eating ‘al fresco’ to take in the breathtaking views and the last of the sunrise. We also had two evening meals in Avista which were both excellent. Worth booking in advance as it's a very popular venue. We also ate in the Rose Garden at the Cliff Bay and the more informal,Il Basilico Italian restaurant, a 15 minute walk away at another Porto Bay hotel - both were very good. Three, more things to highlight. First, without exception, all the staff at Les Suites were brilliant : friendly, polite and professional. They matched the atmosphere of their surroundings. Second, if applicable, well worth joining the Prestige club. It costs nothing but we enjoyed a 10% discount off all drinks and meals at all Porto Bay venues and, over a week, this made a real difference. Third, we didn’t use the fitness area or the spa but they looked in keeping with the rest of the hotel. There’s also a cinema room, showing films and live sport, and a library and games room. To sum up, this is unquestionably a 5 star review and would highly recommend. It was our first visit to Madeira and we’ll almost certainly be back. We won’t spend any time looking at alternatives to Les Suites."

"We visit Les suites twice a year and are never disappointed, wish we could visit more and for longer . We’ve stayed in the suites and the duplex both are fabulous! We love breakfast , the whole team are fabulous but Marlene (sorry if that’s not correct but think you’ll know who I mean) always know where we like to sit and what we like ❤️ If you’re thinking about visiting stop thinking and just go you’ll not regret it 👌🏼 See you again soon 💕"
