My wife and I returned to the Royal for the 10th time. The high standards remain and as Time Share members we have the same 1 bedroom room each year which means it really does feel like walking into our own home each year. This means there are no surprises, the 5 star treatment and services are constant. What has... More

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Savoy Hotel during the Madeira’s Flower Festival of this year (2013). The hotel is indeed superb. From what we saw in our stay we may say that the hotel deserves all and each one of its 5 stars. It excels in all the aspects that we can remember of, but let us... More

You cannot fault the location of this wonderful hotel. Close to Funchal town centre (walking distance along the coast line) with botanical gardens nearby. Ideal place to rest and energise before embarking on various activities,e.g. walking, shopping, water sports, sightseeing and driving around the island. Plenty of restaurants nearby to suit all. Staff are very friendly and helpful; evening entertainment... More

Stayed in a beautiful timeshare apartment. Bedroom, sitting room, kitchenette and two bathrooms (one each). nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. Maid service left us chocolates every day. Grounds are lovely. Roll on next year when we shall go again!

We have just returned from the Royal Savoy Hotel in Funchal and would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants luxury, opulence, beautiful furniture and much more. We went there through timeshare and had what was called a studio. This was nothing like we imagined. We had full bathroom, bedroom area with a massive bed, lounge/kitchen area with microwave/grill, 2... More

This was my first trip to the Savoy since the late 80's this time using a timeshare exchange. The new hotel/apartment was as good as ever though had lost some of the old world charm of the original Savoy (now flattened with only a small portion of the once beautiful grounds used as a short cut through to the next...

The savoy is superb quality. We had a one bedroomed apartment with great views over sea and harbour from balcony. Well laid out with everything you could need and a 'huge' bed. Maid service everyday. The bar is slightly pricey but nothing more than you would expect for quality of hotel and does make excellent drinks and cocktails. Staff were... More

Having knocked down the old Savoy, we expected that the Royal Savoy would be very busy over the Easter period but that wasn't the case; the age profile of guests, the cost of flights and the recession seems to have had an impact on both the hotel and Madeira.Unusually there were a number of children at the hotel but they...

We have stayed at the Royal Savoy every year for the last 10 years. It has always been a delightful and exceptional experience. Returning to the RSV after a busy day is like returning to an oasis of calm and quiet opulence. The facilities are excellent, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. If you're looking to be pampered this... More

I am lucky enough to visit RS as guest of my friend who owns a timeshare apartment. I have been six times and am looking forward to our trip in May. The apartments have everything you need and are beautifully furnished; the location immediately next to the sea is wonderful, the plants and trees make this hotel seem so much... More
