Travelzoo tip: Funchal centre turns into a festive wonderland in December. Twinkling lights adorn the buildings, the palm trees, and the inviting stalls at Christmas markets. Look out for notice boards in town for a list of public entertainment. You can watch folklore performances, and listen to brass bands or local choirs.

Hotel details
Pestana Royal All Inclusive Ocean & Spa Hotel is a clifftop hotel at the quiet end of Funchal's hotel zone. The island's longest beach is a few steps away via stairs. A large public lido is a pleasant 15-minute walk along the oceanfront promenade.

The hotel features four restaurants and two bars. Your all-inclusive package covers meals at the São Lourenço Garden Terrace restaurant. You can reserve a table twice per stay at other restaurants for no extra charge. These include Madeiran, Asian, or Italian à la carte venues.

There's a sizeable outdoor pool in the beautifully maintained subtropical garden. Take in panoramic ocean views from your lounger or the swim-up bar. Dip your toes in the heated indoor pool, or relax at the tranquil spa. Active guests can work out in the gym, play tennis, or try mini golf.

Your Superior Deluxe room has a furnished private balcony. Wi-Fi is free throughout.
