Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr schön.

Cons:

Die Parkplatz für unser Autos war eine Zumutung.
Die Außenanlagen müssten mehr gepflegt werden.

Desiludiu
Pros:

Proximidade à praia

Cons:

Estivemos 4 noites em São Vicente noutro alojamento e a ultima noite ficamos neste hotel para estarmos mais proximos do Funchal. So tenho a dizer que deveriamos ter ficado as noites todas no outro alojamento...
Nao tivemos possibilidade de deixar o carro estacionado dentro do recinto do hotel, tivemos que estacionar na estrada que é bastante movimentada.
No geral nao correspondeu de todo as expectativas e muito menos ao valor pago.

Hotelul este amplasat într-o zonă liniștită, relativ aproape de centru.
Pros:

• poziția hotelului oferă priveliști spectaculoase, iar seara oceanul se aude atât de liniștitor
• personal amabil
• doamna de la curățenie a fost mereu foarte atentă la detalii
• plaja cu nisip negru si promenada din apropiere sunt perfecte pentru relaxare
• au fost atenți cu noi ( ne am sărbătorit căsătoria )

Cons:

• micul dejun și cina nu au fost diversificate ( prețul cinei este prea mare pentru ceea ce oferă 40€/persoana)
• baia ar trebui renovată ( miros neplăcut; uscătorul de par este extrem de vechi și dacă ai părul lung este imposibil sa îl poți usca; am avut și gândăcei prezenți)
• parcare cu plata la hotel 10€/ zi

Perfeito para casais sem filhos
Pros:

A localização, relativamente perto do Funchal mas longe da confusão, e o estacionamento gratuíto fora do hotel. Os funcionários são muito simpáticos e prestáveis, o pequeno almoço tem muita variedade, a zona da piscina com acesso à praia e ao passadiço é muito agradável e com uma vista bonita. O hotel também disponibilizou toalhas para a zona da piscina gratuitamente. Muita variedade de canais estrangeiros.

Cons:

Nada a apontar, gostámos muito e quando voltarmos à Madeira, voltaremos a reservar aqui a estadia.
