Very good resort hotel. Complimentary bottle of wine on arrival, mid week cocktail party, offers of free spa treatments, and housekeeping staff who noticed birthday cards in room and arranged a complimentary birthday cake. All the staff try pretty hard and it shows. Very good Breakfast buffet by any standards, although not quite so sure about the Dinner buffet. The... more

This was our eighth stay at the Cliff Bay but our first review on Tripadvisor. The hotel has everything you would expect from a five-star hotel, yet at the same time it is friendly and relaxed. The food is very good with a great buffet breakfast in the Rose Garden restaurant and a choice in the evening of a buffet-style... more

Stayed for a week at the start of November. We were both seriously impressed with this hotel. The hotel was absolutely beautiful throughout with the most stunning floral displays throughout the public areas. All areas of the hotel were immaculate with great attention to detail & cleanliness. Service from all staff was top class with everyone being efficient and courteous... more

I cannot commend this hotel enough. We spent a week there on a bed and breakfast arrangement. We found the rooms to be palatial, the room service was excellent and all of the staff, from reception to the cleaners most willing and polite. There was always plenty of sunbeds with foam mattresses, and a surfeit of towels which were supplied... more

Have just returned from yet another holiday at this hotel and cannot fault anything, OK the Thomson Holidays rep was hopeless ("I don't know anthing about local buses I'm only here to sell excursions"!) but that isn't the Cliff Bay's fault. We'll be back in 2010. more

My husband and I have just returned from our second visit to this fantastic hotel, it is the first time we have ever been tempted to return to a hotel and we were not dissapointed. We would recommend The Cliff Bay to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable holiday. The staff, a real dedicated team, could not be anymore polite,... more

The Cliff Bay is a dream: the location on the sea is perfect, the pools offer great views, the gardens are peacefull. It is really a pleasure to stay at this hotel. The service is good and people know very well their job. Very good service but not stiff. I went to Madeira to play golf with some friends. And... more
