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.

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.

Excellent hotel, beautiful gardens, large rooms, excellent breakfasts. About a 25 minute walk to the centre of Funchal although there was a courtesy bus which we didn’t use. Plenty of sun beds and very few reserved with towels so there was always somewhere to sit.

Christine

Excellent breakfast choices. Nothing to dislike. Liked everything except coffee which tended to be very much stronger probably due to waiting in pot for too long.

Colin

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.

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.

“Old fashioned hotel with good amenities ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Room with Sea View
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
I personally prefer smaller and more intimate hotels. This is better suited for package holidays, families with small kids etc. The decor is very old fashioned, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. I also didn't like the pool area- lots of people and the plastic chaise lounges were a bit of an eye sore. All in all- it's a decent hotel with lots of facilities but very old-fashioned and not for people who dislike the package holidays vibe.
It' s a hotel best suited for people that want to spend most of their time on the hotel grounds and enjoy the facilities (pools, sport halls etc.). Plenty of activities to chose from, including a number of restaurants, live music in the evenings and such. Gardens are also nicely kept. Also, have in mind that this is by European standards more of a 3 stars than a 4 stars establishment ( in doesn't feel luxe if that is what you are looking for).

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.
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.

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....!
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.
