Royal Savoy - Ocean Resort - Savoy Signature

Not a 5* hotel… All old and very poor

Good place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is perfectly situated, the facilities are great and the staff always friendly and helpful. We had a sea view suite, very comfy and with everything you need for a week. We enjoyed the indoor pool, because the weather was changing several times a day and sometimes a little rain. So we choose the indoor pool, but it was not crowded, sometimes we were the only ones using it. The lady for the massage was super friendly and did a great job. The bar and the restaurant were good. The breakfast was super, a lot of fresh fruits. We would certainly come again when in Madeira and can recommend it to everyone.

Family of three and We stayed for a week in July. We wanted a quiet hotel with nice pool area which is exactly what we got. It’s a very pleasant hotel, clean and friendly. However it’s not quite a 5 star, a good 4, it does need some upgrading and maintenance around the pool area. Although it’s a beautiful area to lie in and relax just not 5 star . The breakfast is excellent however I was a little annoyed that they didn’t have dairy free yogurt for the majority of our stay, my daughter is dairy free and I’d say the options were limited for all meals. We ate in the hotel quite a lot due to daughters social anxiety and although the food was very tasty it’s not really older child friendly, chicken nuggets , fish , burgers etc is fine occasionally but the adults menu was too ‘ adult’ even I struggled with the food sometimes and just wanted something simple. We don’t drink much but I’d say the wine wasn’t my taste. The evening entertainment was minimal but that suited us fine. Would have been nice to have a little shop on site although there is a supermarket not far from hotel. The Rooms were nice with a small kitchen. Lovely view from balcony although as it’s concrete you can’t see out when sitting. Rooms were reasonably quiet although if you had noisy neighbours it would be heard. The only niggle was the air conditioning, not cold enough for me. The public areas didn’t seem to have any so no relief from heat until you were in your room , even then it wasn’t very cold, that’s personal opinion though. Overall I’d recommend this hotel although if I were to return to Madeira I think I would like to try other hotels in a different area closer to restaurants.

Where to start! The food, service and ambience were all 5* in this restaurant! The food was delicious. Everything was cooked to perfection, with all the tiny tweaks of a top chef - this chef knows exactly what he is doing! This was the tastiest meal I have had abroad in years, and I travel a lot. The service was excellent and the staff were very professional. There was a singer performing. He was fantastic. If I were to recommend anywhere in Madeira, it would be here. We all agreed that will be back.

Great hotel, with great staff and the breakfasts were amazing, but the beds were so hard we couldn't get proper sleep and woke up feeling like we'd been trampled on by horses. The one thing i expect from a hotel is a good nights sleep and without it, the other services offered are compromised. Softer beds for under 60's needed and then I'll give you 5 *
