Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Standard quality for this hotel tier (no specific cleanliness issues mentioned in the reviews).
Service
8.9
Generally excellent and friendly service noted in multiple reviews (described as 'super service', 'personnel sympathique', 'accueil et le service étaient également excellents'), but isolated negatives include an unresponsive manager and some staff lacking a smile.
Location
8.8
Very good elevated location with unique, often-praised views and convenient proximity to local attractions (Carros de Cesto); however several guests mention it is somewhat far from central Funchal, requires a car and access can be steep/one-way.
Room Quality
9
Rooms described as very nice, spacious, with balconies, sea views and comfortable bedding; isolated issue reported about a non-hermetic window.
Amenities
7.6
Spa, pool and other facilities are praised (pleasant pool, good spa), but there are recurring operational and aging issues: sauna/steam were off or require pre-heating, pool not heated/football cold for some, air conditioning failure reported, and generally some equipment described as aging.
Value for Money
8.2
Generally good value noted (free parking called a plus), but some dissatisfaction about half-board not including drinks (guests expected mineral water included), which negatively affected perceived value for some.
Food and Beverage
9
Breakfast consistently described as excellent and varied across reviews; however a complaint that half-board excluded drinks (notably mineral water) reduces this slightly for some guests.
Overall Experience
8.7
Overall very positive experience: calm, beautiful views, good facilities and recommended by many guests; minor negatives (spa operation, AC issue, access distance) somewhat reduce perfection but the stay remains highly satisfactory.

Heerlijk genoten in dit prachtige en gastvrije hotel
Pros:

Prachtig hotel met uitzicht en veel faciliteiten zoals shuttlebus service ( gratis) naar Funchal centrum, parkeerplaats,wellness ( spa gratis) en zwembad. Personeel erg vriendelijk.

Cons:

Eigenlijk is er niets te vermelden wat niet beviel alleen waar je rekening mee moet houden als je dat lastig vindt: het ligt net naast de Tobogans dus op steile helling ( auto rijden) het diner in hotel is heerlijk maar porties zijn klein behalve op Madeira night ( woensdagavond) is het zeker een aanrader om te reserveren voor het diner.
De 1e en 2e verdieping van het hotel heeft balkon of zitjes buiten, de 3e en 4e verdieping alleen een raam en op de hoek van dezelfde verdieping een gezamenlijk balkon.

Pros:

Die Aussicht auf die Stadt ist sehr schön. Die Außenbereiche sind auch gut gepflegt. Vor allem Pool- und Frühstücksbereich.

Die Lage ist sehr praktisch für Ausflüge (aber nicht Sightseeing oder Ausgehen im Zentrum).

Drei Mal am Tag gab es einen kostenfreien Shuttle Service, um ins Zentrum zu gelangen. Das ist sehr praktisch für Gäste ohne Auto. Eins von beiden ist hier definitiv nötig, da man sonst nicht weg kommt.

Die Mitarbeiterinnen an der Rezeption waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die Innenausstattung des Hotels ist in die Jahre gekommen. Sehr laute Klimaanlage, die nicht wirklich kühlt. Zimmer sehr stickig. Altes Badezimmer nur mit dem Nötigsten drin. Das Frühstück war ok. Aber die Auswahl ist nicht groß und nach wirklich vielfältig. Alles in allem war es okay. Bei einem 5 Sterne Hotel erwartet man aber definitiv mehr.

Zimmerfenster musste geschlossen bleiben, weil sonst Kakerlaken reinkriechen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ich habe 4 Nächte in diesem Hotel verbracht und war rundum begeistert! Von Anfang bis Ende war einfach alles super. Das gesamte Personal war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und aufmerksam – wirklich top!

Ich habe mich während meines gesamten Aufenthalts sehr wohlgefühlt und kann das Hotel definitiv weiterempfehlen. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen! 😊

Ein ganz besonderes Dankeschön auch für das tolle Geburtstagsgeschenk darüber habe ich mich sehr gefreut! Vielen Dank für die schöne Aufmerksamkeit und den tollen Aufenthalt.

Bis zum nächsten Mal!

A great place to stay with amazing food
Pros:

The property is located in a hill with an amazing view. The rooms are very comfortable and we loved the service of the waiters (Tiago Souza and Tiago Basílio). It was a great pleasure to go everyday for dinner and have a so warming and nice people (we also highly recommend the half board package as the food it is just amazing - it was really worth for us). Also, the hotel itself is very nice, with good facilities, a nice gym and everything needed for a vacation in a so amazing place as Madeira.

Cons:

The breakfast could change a bit more from time to time as most of the days it is very similar (but also good).

Goede ligging in Funchal
Pros:

Goede ligging in Funchal.
Lekker ontbijt.
Vriendelijk personeel.

Cons:

Er hing een zeer doordringende synthetische parfum geur in de kamer en dat was wel storend.

A great short break for 5 nights in a lovely peacful hotel.
Pros:

Great views and good facilities, clean and comfortable. Nice and quiet. Lovely breakfast and evening meals.

Cons:

Seemed slightly short staffed, no one at reception when we arrived but it was a minor issue and no real problem. A bit of a steep walk, 2km into the city centre. The shuttle bus was helpful but a few additional pick up drop off times would be better..

We will be returning
Pros:

The room was beautiful. Great location although we caught taxis due to the steep walk. Hotel was stunning, room was always cleaned however we had to ask reception for more tea and milk which they accommodated with no issues. We will be coming back.

Cons:

Nothing really.
