Royal Savoy - Ocean Resort - Savoy Signature

The Royal Savoy undoubtedly occupies the best location for the leisure traveller. Since 2004, when it first opened on the site of the original Savoy Lido, this hotel is popular with all ages, newcomers, and regulars year after year. Recently refurbished the hotel fails to disappoint

Good place to stay

Returned for an excellent stay with very attentive staff. The room was very comfortable and spacious.

We stayed in an apartment (a friend lent us their timeshare). It was very well furnished with large bed, 2 bathrooms, lounge, kitchen with microwave, hob, sink, kettle, coffee machine and dishwasher. Balcony. Excellent WiFi, lovely spa. Good service, choice of bars and restaurants. Easy walk to promenade, 15 min walk to cable car station.

We couldn’t be happier with our stay at the royal savoy. Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without the outstanding service from Miguel eduardo loureiro. The lovely South African man who has gone above and beyond to make every part of our stay amazing. Nothing was too much hassle for him and he is such a special member of staff to have. Such a credit to the hotel and we will be back specifically to see him again! Thank you so much Miguel. You really are the best and outshine from everyone with your personality and service!

The Royal Savoy is a real gem sitting on the cliff face offering marvellous views from street (reception) level. If you love an action packed, music thumping pool scene (8 floors down) this hotel (and more likely Madeira) is not for you. This place offered the perfect venue for a very relaxing and peaceful 5 night vitamin D recharge. Here the staff were the shining stars and nothing was too much trouble (extra mattress topper and fresh milk delivered super fast). Comfy and plentiful sun loungers, one heated salt water pool and another standard, provided plenty of space to swim. Furthermore, a life guard attended sea planche offered a fun diving opportunity. As bed and breakfast guests only the selection was excellent with quality fresh juices, hot cooked selection, eggs made to order and patisserie (& more) to choose from. Make sure you fill your boots since taking food for later is strictly discouraged. Great cocktails (with plentiful alcohol) and nibbles were a daily indulgence and the “medicinal” rum, honey, lemon & orange drink, Poncha was a delight. A pretty bridge walkway offers access to amenities to sister hotel, the Savoy Palace with a magnificent lagoon style pool and within a short walk a good selection of restaurants, pubs and shops. Funchal town is a 10/15 minute walk. Highly recommend the cable car ride from the Funchal front up to Mounte Village and taking the Toboggan ride 2km down. (The walk back could prove challenging for those like me with a dodgy knee, so a taxi is an option. Spa treatment was fantastic but gets booked up quickly so would suggest booking before arrival to avoid disappointment.
