Room and view were excellent. The pool area is also good with ample beds and parasols.
Staff could be friendlier. Snacks were limited and too large. On Valentine's Day we were asked at dinner if we would like a glass of Champagne. We said yes thinking it was a gesture by the hotel but when the bill came it was at a cost of 39 Euros for 2 glasses.

Excellent hotel. Staff are superb. Heated pool that is half inside half outside great. Also the Avista restaurant is fabulous.
Main restaurant a little old fashioned.

About
Overview
The Atlantic Ocean stretches as far as the eye can see at the foot of The Cliff Bay... Perched on the top of a natural promontory, the hotel is surrounded by gardens - with innumerable secluded corners and centenary palm trees extending to the very edge of the cliff face. The panorama is completed by a magnificent view over the bay of Funchal to the east of the hotel.
This 5 star hotel, one of PortoBay Hotels premium resorts, assures that every single little detail has been carefully conceived to present genuine peace, well-being and elegance. In the hotel’s sea access area one can combine the Atlantic Ocean breeze with the spell-binding views when choosing the new pontoons and solariums.
The most influential restaurant guide in the world, the Michelin Guide, has awarded the Il Gallo d'Oro, The Cliff Bay's gourmet restaurant, run by Chef Benoît Sinthon, with 2 Stars.
