Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. We were very well taken care of. We also took two days of surf lessons, organized by the owner himself. Thanks to him, we were able to stand on the board successfully several times. I highly recommend this place. The rooms are tidy, the pool is lovely, the breakfast is good, and the service is loving and kind. We would love to come back (in Madeira😉)

Schönes Guesthouse mit freundlichen Mitarbeitern
Pros:

Schöne Anlage, nettes Personal, schöne Zimmer

Cons:

Das Guesthouse liegt direkt an einer lauten und stark befahrenen Straße. Entspannt am Pool liegen geht nur mit Lärm im Hintergrund oder Noisecontrolling-Kopfhörern. Auch im Bett habe ich nur mit Oropax schlafen können.

A very nice stay!
Pros:

I had a very pleasant stay at Ohana. The room was clean and well equipped with all the essentials (such as shampoo, a nice hot shower, complimentary water in the room, good quality towels and good air conditioning). The staff were exceptionally friendly, the pool was great, and the location is very central. I also took my first surf lesson, which I really enjoyed and would definitely recommend. All in all, highly recommended!

Great stay!
Pros:

Very clean hotel and super friendly staff. The breakfast in the morning was always great. The pool was also great☺️

Cons:

The bed made quite some noise when you just turn around and you hear the cars/busses honk from the street in front. But this is just a very small topic

Ich habe mich sofort wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet und der Pool ist super sauber und im Garten kann man gut entspannen. Das inkludiert Frühstück ist lecker und frisch und von der Terrasse kann man die Wellen beobachten. Die Gastgeber sind super herzlich und freundlich. Ich hab mich gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Alle Mitarbeiterinnen sind sehr lieb und bemühen sich total. Ich kann das Guesthouse nur empfehlen!

Pros:

Tive uma experiência excelente no Ohana Surf Guest House. A cama é extremamente confortável, perfeita para descansar depois de um dia inteiro de praia. O banheiro é ótimo: limpo, moderno, com boa pressão de água e sempre bem cuidado.

A localização é outro ponto forte: fica muito bem situada, perto da praia, cafés e restaurantes, mas ao mesmo tempo em uma área tranquila. Dá para fazer muita coisa a pé.

O ambiente é acolhedor, com aquela sensação de estar em casa, e tudo funciona perfeitamente. Com certeza voltaria e recomendo para quem procura conforto, praticidade e uma ótima localização

Entspanntes Guest House
Pros:

Super gutes Frühstück, sehr nettes Personal, isb. Security. Wir durften unsere Rucksäcke stehen lassen bis zur Abreise. Entspannte Gastgebende.

Cons:

Für diese Preisklasse hätten wir uns ein bisschen mehr Sauberkeit und einen Föhn im Zimmer gewünscht.
