Pros:

Die Lage wäre für die Sommerzeit perfekt.
Innenausstattung ist optisch modern.

Cons:

Flecken auf Bettwäsche bei Ankunft, wurde nach Reklamation behoben.
Badfenster defekt, konnte man nicht richtig öffnen und schliessen.
War dadurch nachts sehr kalt im Bad.
Wasserabzieher für den Duschboden wäre empfehlenswert.
Personal ist unaufmerksam, Kopf meist unter der Rezeptionstheke versteckt.
Frühstück ist für den Übernachtungspreis eher schlicht.
Wenig und qualitativ schlechtes Obst.
Nur 1 Kaffeeautomat für alle Gäste.
Frühstücksraum hat kein schönes Ambiente.
An den Duschen im Pool- und Saunabereich kann die Temperatur nicht geregelt werden.
Schließfächer teilweise defekt.

Awesome stay, highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay and the northern area of Madeira.
Pros:

The staff was super friendly. The room was clean and felt spacious with a wonderful balcony facing the sea (very close). The inside pool and sauna are great.

Cons:

Breakfast is a little underwhelming but it does the trick. Although the thick glass keeps most sounds out, you can still hear the waves. I wasn't bothered by it though but consider it if you must have a dead silent room while you sleep.

Tolle Lage direkt am Meer
Pros:

Tolle Lage, fantastische Aussicht, mehrere Schwimmbecken, großer Outdoor Pool.

Cons:

Die Kommunikation mit dem Hotel/Rezeption war eher unbefriedigend. Keine Antwort auf Anfrage vorab. Die Rezeption war am Anreisetag nach dem Check-in nicht mehr besetzt und nicht mehr erreichbar.

Wonderful Gem of Madeira 💎
Pros:

Wow I can finally say that I found a hotel that meets all my expectations 👏 The warm welcome when you enter the luxurious reception from friendly professional staff to the spacious modern spotless rooms with stunning sea or mountain views.
The indoor pool with jacuzzi and the sauna were very clean and ideal to relax after a day of exploring the natural beauty of scenic places near by of this wonderful island. The hotel also offers a outside pool and has access to a sea water pool, unfortunately the weather and sea weren't in our favour to go in, but will definately be back in warmer month 😉.
Breakfast included with room had plenty to choose from and made fresh.
The restaurant and pool bar aren't managed by the hotel but treat the guests very well.

Thanks to all the Calamar Hotel staff and management for making it such a memorable holiday. 5*

Very good place, location, but a bit overpriced
Pros:

Location is good, near is the small city, close to Seixal and Porto Maniz
They do have free parking, which is huge bonus
2 pools outside, 1 inside, jacuzzi and sauna

Cons:

I didn’t liked the breakfast, as the choice of the food I quite small, would be nice to expand salad bar, add normal toaster
Outside the pool has only few sun lounger available

Hotel on the beach in São Vicente
Pros:

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Calamar Hotel last week, and it was a truly enjoyable experience. The hotel was impeccably clean, and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. The idyllic setting, just 20 to 25 meters from the sea, made for a perfect retreat.
Falling asleep to the soothing sound of the waves at night was an absolute highlight. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, and I highly recommend this hotel for a peaceful and relaxing getaway.

Pleasant oceanfront stay
Pros:

Nice pools, especially the natural one. Our family apartment was spacious with a wonderful terrace.

Cons:

One bedroom had a single window opening directly to the restaurant terrace and hence could not be opened most of the time.

Hotel with a stunning view
Pros:

Large room and beds that are very comfortable. The view is stunning! It’s definitely worth booking the sea view room, to be able to watch the sunset. Nice restaurant, the breakfast is alright. Staff is friendly and helpful. The area is holding great opportunities to go by car to. We do recommend this hotel!

Trop cher pour la prestation.
Pros:

La décoration est froide, impersonnelle ! On croirait une clinique.
La salle de petit déjeuner est triste et pas du tout chaleureuse. Les grandes baies vitrées sont couverte d’adhésif occultant. Pas de convivialité !
Le petit déjeuner est plutôt bas de gamme. Mauvais café, pas de fruit frais, salade de fruit tiède.
La vue de la chambre est magnifique ! C’est déjà ça !

Excellent stay on the Madeira North Coast
Pros:

The hotel is settled in an ideal location right on the waterfront, which offers fantastic views and sunsets over the ocean. There was absolutely nothing bad to be said about the rooms, pools, infrastructure and on top of all that, the hotel has its own restaurant, which serves excellent food! Must try is one of the Cataplanas on the menu!

I truly recommend this hotel and would stay here again without hesitation!
