Great hotel with stunning views and friendly staff, but the body cream should be replaced with a skin-friendly alternati
Pros:

The room was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The only issue was the body cream provided in the room. It caused a severe skin reaction, and my skin became very red. Guests with sensitive skin may experience similar problems, so I think it would be better to offer a hypoallergenic option.

Man muss diese Art Hotelurlaub mögen
Pros:

Das Zimmer mit Blick aufs Meer

Cons:

Liegt direkt an einem Padel Tennis Platz. Von 07.00 - 23.00 Uhr ununterbrochen dieser Lärm. Ein Grund diese Hotel nicht mehr zu buchen

One of the best hotels in Funchal
Pros:

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location is perfect — just far enough outside the busy centre to feel peaceful, but still only a short walk from the main town. It really gives you the best of both worlds.

The staff are incredible, especially Valerie, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and looked after throughout our stay. The rooms were spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The entertainment is very smooth with a lot of good artists performing of an evening.. our Fave was Hot Cross Buns and the Local dancing troupe who offered something different and exciting

A huge plus for our family was the gluten‑free breakfast options, which made mornings so much easier and stress‑free. It’s rare to find a hotel that caters so thoughtfully for dietary needs.

Highly recommended — we’d happily stay again.

You won't regret it
Pros:

We normally book middle of the road hotels so were pleasantly surprised at how swanky this place was. The decor in the communal areas was lovely, I've never seen so many different types of seating options. Lots of spectacular views. (Except from our room which was a "mountain view" but we live and learn - it did mean we could monitor the busyness of the various restaurants over the road). There were extra touches for the flower festival which runs throughout May. Breakfast was good, lots of variety and relaxed, no sense that they'd run out of options if you didn't turn up early. The pools were good. A bit cold for my liking and my 10 year old wished they were deeper! We also played snooker, and used the garage for several days. Didn't eat in the restaurants.y only gripe would be there's sometimes a long wait for the lifts. Fab hotel and loved Madeira

A mixed bag
Pros:

My fiancé and I stayed here for 7 nights and had a mixed experience.
The hotel itself is spotless and the rooms were cleaned every day to a high standard. The view from our room of the sea was outstanding.
On the negative side you have to pay for everything else - such as bath robes, room safe etc. We were even quoted 180 euros to be allowed to use another room to be able to shower and change for 5 hours - which I think was wildly excessive.
