It was a lovely room with good kitchen facilities including microwave, fridge, kettle and 2 electric rings. Outdoor and Indoor pool with jacuzzi. Small but adequate gym. Didn't use the onsite take away facilities but seems to be good choice at reasonable price.

The views, location , food, pools... Half an hour walking distance from the hotel to the centre and half hour walking distance to Formosa beach, the bus are a short walk from the hotel.

  • Ola, gostaria de efetuar uma reserva, porem estou na dúvida se posso reservar o quarto para ocupação de dois adultos se estamos indo com nossa filha de 4 anos. Ou teria que pegar o quarto para 3 adultos? obrigada Natalie
    Bom dia Natalie, A criança de 4 anos não paga, por isso deve fazer a reserva para 2 adultos e por favor diga nas observações que tem uma criança de 4 anos. Esperemos por si.

  • How close is airport bus stop
    The nearest stop for the Aero Bus is about 300 meters, however please note that the hotel is located on a hill and the 300 meters are a steep incline. We suggest taking the Aero Bus to the center of Funchal and then taking a taxi to the hotel.
