Fantastic hotel, breakfast, setting!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! We had a beachfront room on the second floor, and as the weather was beautiful, we had the windows wide open while we were there, allowing the beach sounds and smells to drift in. Ponta do Sol is a fantastic little town, in a spectacular setting, with trails coming in from each side. We were gutted we only had the 1 night there, as it would've been quite easy to fill in another day or two. As it is, the hotel location is perfect for doing the popular Levada do Moinha hike, as the start is only a few kms away, uphill. The included breakfast is one of the best we've had on Madeira so far, with a wide variety of both hot and cold dishes. We made use of the gym, which is pretty small and basic, but were still able to get in a suitable chest/triceps workout. There is an indoor pool next to the open gym, which looked great (and was popular), however we didn't use it. One of the better things about the hotel, which we were unaware of until we were there, is the rooftop relaxation area. There are various chairs and couches there, some in the open, and some undercover, but all with a fantastic view over the neighbouring roofs and ocean. Free parking is available in the underground carpark. Having completed our tour of the island of Madeira, this hotel is the stand-out choice of all our accommodation options, and as I mentioned previously, is the one that we really wish we'd had another night or two to spend at!

Cons:

Some more gear in the gym would be nice, and maintenance on the gear you have (eg. the multi-function machine) would also be appreciated!

Sehr schönes Hotel in Topp- Lage !
Pros:

Topplage in der ersten Reihe am Meer. Dementsprechend frontaler Meerblick aus allen Zimmern. Sonnenuntergang inklusive. Sehr gutes Frühstück mit guter Brotauswahl. Auch sonst alles da. Service beim Frühstück sehr aufmerksam. Die Architektur des Hotels, es sieht von Aussen aus wie eine bunte Häuserzeile, das finde ich vorbildlich. Das Zimmer war außergewöhnlich sauber und sehr geräumig. Tolle Dusche. Es war Nachts herrlich ruhig, man hört nur das Meer rauschen. Bars und Restaurants direkt vor der Tür. TV mit großer Auswahl an internationalen Sendern. Tolle Dachterasse. Es gibt eine Tiefgarage mit kostenlosen Parkplätzen.
Absolut empfehlenswert !

Cons:

Recht laute Atmosphäre im Speisesaal durch größere Reisegruppen. Die Möblierung ist teilweise schon etwas älter, aber in einem guten Zustand.

Hotel mit guter Lage
Pros:

Traumhafte Aussicht, sehr saubere Zimmer, Parkgarage trotz engen Parkplätzen

Cons:

Der in den Hotelgängen ausgelegte Kunststoffboden verbreitete einen übelriechenden Geruch. Im Essbereich war es aufgrund der Grösse und Einrichtung sehr laut.

We stayed four nights as this is a great base for exploring the west of the island
Pros:

Well equipped room and a lot of attention to detail
The staff made us very welcome and gave personal attention to our visit, beyond what might be acceptable as professional
The garage was very welcome as parking in the daytime is hard to come by

Cons:

Nothing
