Flag of Madeira.
Problem
Where to stay? How to get the best deal?
Answers
We stayed at Pestana Casino Park hotel. The huge dining room has a magnificent panormic view of the sea and cliffs.
Rooms on the right look towards Reid Hotel whose name you can glimpse, and the Savoy hotel under construction with a crane on the right and another on the left.
At first I was upset by the two cranes. I wanted to swap bedrooms to the other side. I could see from the landing and balconies alongside the public area that rooms on the left overlooked the old port. You could watch boats sailing in and out.
However, no room were available the night I enquired. It was a hassle to re-pack if they had a room. I made do with the view by drawing the curtains across the far right and far left to hide the cranes.
The Savoy hotel will be the biggest hotel in Madeira when it is finished. Banners on the exterior say it is scheduled to open in spring 2019. Could be later, could be earlier, your guess is as good as mine.
On a levada hiking path I met a German lady who told me she had booked much cheaper accommodation, about 70 Euros for two bedrooms (for herself and a friend) through Webo, the internet booking service.
You can pick a British website, an international website, an American website, an Australian website, a website in German (and translate into English.)
