Pros:

Nagyon jó helyen van a Hotel. Csodás kilátással az óceánra, közel van a Formosa strand, buszmegállók a központ felé (kb 20 perc), van a közelben étterem, bevásárlóközpont, kávézó stb, de mégis csöndesebb mint a központi fekvésű hotelek. Nagyon szép kertje van, kültéri , beltéri medencékkel, a C épületből közvetlen kilátás van az óceánra. Reggeli bőséges, svédasztalos. Az ágy nagyon kényelmes, megfelelő méretű volt. A személyzet kedves, segítőkész.

séjour agréable
Pros:

Bel hôtel . le cadre est vraiment agréable : piscine au top , les jardins vraiment bien entretenus. très bon rapport qualité prix du restaurant en self . Personnel très sympathique.

Cons:

Il vaut mieux être véhiculé pour cet hôtel. l'accès au centre de Funchal ne peut pas se faire à pied. ceci dit , il y a des Bus juste devant l'hôtel. nous n'avons pas essayé car nous avions une voiture de location.

Nagyo jó,másnak is ajánlani tudom
Pros:

A reggeli finom,bőséges,több féle ételválaszték,izletes sajtok ,gyümölcsök.egyszóval pazar volt.
A tisztaság kifogástalan,naponta takarítottak,törölközőket cseréltek.

Cons:

Sajnos a welnesz rész zárva volt,mert karbantartást végeztek,a konyhasarok felszereltsége kissé hiányos volt./pl: nem volt kávéscsésze és még egy-két apróság/,de ez nem okozott nagy gondot
