to get started.

The whole experience was very good. The gardens were spacious and very well cared for. The room was a good size, comfortable and well set up. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of food. Restaurants near the hotel were excellent as were the hotel's own restaurants which we used on a number of nights. Staff were helpful, although a little more time given at check-in to explain more fully the activities available would have been good.

John, United Kingdom

Beautiful views, amazing breakfast, beautiful rooms and balconies

Rachel, United States of America

Very nice hotel complex. Great spa and swimming pools. I had to wait one hour for my room and they upgraded me intermediately to a junior suite, which was very nice, spacious, comfortable and with nice view to sea. Breakfast and service was 5 stars.

Luis, Denmark

The hotel had lots of space and places to sit and relax. The swimming pools were great. It felt calm in the hotel. Staff were helpful by and large. It was a good walk into Funchal centre but manageable. The Med restaurant was really nice and felt like a special occasion with the attentive waiting staff.

Sheila, United Kingdom

Travelled over as a gift from our sons for Christmas and we absolutely loved it! We’re originally Portuguese but had never travelled to Madeira and we think we prefer your island more than our own country! Was amazing! Great staff, great room, everything was perfect! Thank you.

Alberto, United Kingdom

Staff were lovely throughout. Garden and grounds are beautifully laid out and maintained. Pools are beautiful and the spa is very relaxing, clean and serene. Facilities and activities are wonderful (great yoga instructor). Entertainment is very good to exceptional - Banda S'alem are worth travelling to Madeira to hear, and Miguel is excellent as are many of the other entertainers. Bars are relaxing and well priced and food is generally very good.

I thought the coffee at breakfast was poor given the quality of the hotel in other respects. I can’t understand how providing decent coffee is so hard.

I'm not a fan of the awful euro bacon at breakfast, it's very low grade and never seems to cook properly - however, there is so much lovely food on offer at breakfast that it seems a small niggle. I think it's because everything else seems such good quality that this particular horrid cheap baconesque fraudulent pork product strikes a chord....!

The male receptionist at check in was not very helpful or friendly. All others during our stay were fine. We had asked for a sea view room, a view which we had from the balcony, but it was overlooking the side road which was very, very noisy so that we couldn't have the windows open overnight.
Generally it was a very relaxing time with good facilities. Good transport arrangements to the city centre.

It was an excellent location both away from the town centre, but easily accessible by a short walk. There was an excellent choice of different cuisines onsite. Although it isn’t an adult only resort and children were staying they were well behaved. Breakfast choices were first class and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Everywhere from the outside pool areas to the restaurants and rooms were extremely clean. A first class holiday.

Incredible peaceful hotel with huge beautiful botanical garden, 2 exterior swimming pools (+ 1 for kids) with lots of sun beds, 1 indoor pool, 3 restaurants, spa center. Very professional, polite and kind staff. Tried two of their restaurants, Alfama (highly recommended! food is good and sometimes they have Fado concerts) and Il Basilico, both very good, prices are more or less the same as for the restaurants near the hotel. The hotel provides free bus to Funchal city center several times a day (don't forget to reserve!). Spacious, clean room, with huge comfortable bed. We had a problem with ventilation and it was solved immediately. Good selection for breakfast, a pity they don't have fresh orange juice. Location - approx. 2 km from the city center, you can walk or take the free bus, taxis are also available. We were really impressed with this hotel and its wonderful staff. We spent 10 days there and enjoyed every minute.
