Robin Netherlands

The amazing views is of course something that has to be mentioned and cannot be missed, beautiful sunrise and sunsets and views across the bay, the lights of an evening at Christmas are stunning. The staff, all of them, area fabulous, nothing is a trouble. The food in the restaurant is also some of the best in Madeira, some say a little pricy but for us coming from the Uk the prices were average and not more than we expect. The rooftop pool and bar areas are a must see and if you care to walk you can quickly climb up hidden staircases outside the hotel and be over 1000ft above sea level, looking down on the world. This hotel is somewhere to completely unwind and decompress. There is a free shuttle bus down to the town which is very handy as you would not want to walk it, even for me this would be a push to do both ways. Food tip: if you like prawns - the garlic prawns with a bolo do caco is a must have, the portion sizes are generous for everything so sharing is a good option.
