Pros:

I rate this hotel highly. The staff are outstanding—polite, kind, and helpful. The breakfasts are very good, with something for everyone; there is a daily selection of fresh items, including fruit, cheese, scrambled eggs, and bread. The room features a large balcony and an ocean view. The only reason I can’t give it a 10 is the carpeting—it definitely needs refreshing. I’m not sure if the room has air conditioning, but since we stayed in October, we didn’t need it.

Tired but at the right price, worth staying at.
Pros:

If you get the room at a good price then book it. Rooms are basic and the fittings outdated but its comfortable enough. Rooms are clean, beds relatively comfortable. Lovely staff. At the right price I would stay there again.

Cons:

The furniture in the rooms is really looking tired. The hotel in general needs a revamp. Great location and potentially a great hotel but it needs care. But at the right price, the hotel is more then acceptable.

Agréable séjour
Pros:

Personnel super, et parle français.
Petit parking dans l'hôtel (s'il n'y a plus de place, c'est facile d'en trouver dans les rues).
Tres Grande chambre, avec une très belle vue sur l'océan.
Je n'ai pas pu prendre le petit déjeuner le dernier jour car je partais avant 7h00, on m'as apporté la veille au soir un plateau garni pour le petit déjeuner.
Présence d'un petit frigo.

Cons:

Piscine vieillissante, la mosaïque est décollé et se retrouve au milieu de la piscine.
Moquette dans la chambre tachée et décollé à plusieurs endroits.

Prima voor een aantal dagen :)
Pros:

Het ontbijt was heerlijk en het personeel was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

Cons:

Het hotel is enorm verouderd en dat zie je aan alles. Ook is het een eind lopen naar Funchal, met een auto alles prima te doen.
