Pros:

This property is a beautiful place to come and relax near the ocean. The adults only portion is quiet and well maintained. No music played at the pool area, just the noise of the nearby sea. Breakfast was good and served at the scenic restaurant overlooking the water. The spa was beautiful and relaxing with views of the ocean from the Finish and Bio spa, with a Turkish bath also there. Yes, free hotel parking can be difficult to find as it is limited. Paid street parking was widely available for 0.40/hour 0800-1900. Our other complaint was that the pillows and sheets had a musty smell, as noted in other reviews. Not sure if it's how they dry the linens. Overall a beautiful property to relax at with good dining options within walking distance.

Buena estancia
Pros:

La estancia ha sido buena, la habitación estaba limpia, el baño es de buen tamaño, sin embargo la habitación es más pequeña y falta sitio para poder poner maletas, una mesa interior... La piscina muy tranquila y con acceso a otra piscina con acceso al mar, aunque estaba llena de gente y niños.
No pudimos disfrutar del desayuno porque tuvimos que irnos pronto y nos dieron una caja con desayuno para llevar, un poco escaso y sin ningún café.
Los horarios de cierre de piscina, cena... son muy justos para un lugar de vacaciones.
Aunque estuvimos bien, dudo de si volvería a repetir este hotel.

Pros:

No parking in the resort, only 7 minutes away walking uphill, most uncomfortable with suitcases even if you dropped off the suitcases you would still need to walk the distance and pay.
I dislike separate beds in a couples room
Tough toilet paper
No shampoo conditioner supplied, only a kind of soap
1 small chocolate bar in the room, for 2.5 euros, not fun or enough
Receptionist quite unkind, makes no effort to be kind or friendly

Great stay
Pros:

This place was very clean, modern, and had a great breakfast. Very quiet and beautiful views. Definitely book a spa appointment ahead of your reservation, as they were al booked up while we were there and the prices were quite reasonable. Skip dinner in their restaurant - the food was just okay if not overcooked and there are delicious and affordable, local restaurants in the area. Great stay!

Mitigé
Pros:

Mitigé, situation en bord de mer, avec accès mer très sympa. Chambre mignonne, mais petite pour madère et cette gamme de prix. Chambre payé à la réservation pas forcément respecté.
« Parking » dans la rue pas top… intérêt du « spa » que je me demande également. Petit déjeuner sur la mer sympa.

Pros:

It was a disaster of a stay yo say the least, the first night of our stay the A/C was not working to which the staff response was that they will try to get it addressed the next day, the following night we come back to a pitch dark hot room with no electricity.

Do not book this hotel

Lovely setting, quiet area.
Pros:

Lovely hotel with outstanding views. Beds were very comfortable and room well presented with balcony.
Breakfast was good, with outdoor seating overlooking the ocean.
But there is not much to do in the local area and it's a €20 taxi to Funchal, where there is everything.

A true relaxing spa hotel
Pros:

Excellent spa hotel, relaxing atmosphere, great spa and facilities, loved the breakfest by the sea.
Lesser points, the complex is large and confusing, check in is after 5pm in another hotel which was very confusing, charging 3,8euro for tapwater
