While we enjoyed Madeira very much, we were somewhat disappointed about this hotel, perhaps because previous tripadvisor reviews created high expectations. This review will therefore concentrate on the aspects which we see differently than other reviewers. The hotel is located in an area which should have been nice and... More

Stayed in this hotel in November 2012 with my wife and 2 friends. The hotel was superb in every respect. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spotless. The food was I believe untouchable in quantity, and quality, especially the suggestions for the evening meal which was three courses, coffee, and drinks included for 14.50 Euros. The... More

We've just come back from Funchal where we were staying in this nice mini-hotel. Very helpful and polite staff, tasty breakfast (though it was always the same, which can be named as the only but absolutely not that awful "shortcoming" in my opinion:-)); clean and rather spacious rooms, and it was also nice to dip into a swimming pool in...

I stayed in this hotel for a week in late May this year. I found it as a very pleasant place for stay and I would be happy to come back. There were no disadvantages or weak points for me in the hotel but tastes differ, and this place is ideal for somebody who do not need a loud nightlife... More

We have just returned from a lovely week at this hotel. It was exceptionally clean, all the staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was large with a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea and sunset. The beds were comfortable, towels changes daily, bathrobes and daily room service. The breakfast was delightful. The pool and gardens were well manicured. Although a... More

... and they are doing a lovely job. I only tried afternoon-tea but service was impeccable and very friendly. They showed me a hotel room with view over the bay, it looked clean and in good shape. So I guess I can recommend the place.
