This was our first visit to this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpfull especially the reception. We went on an all inclusive basis and on the whole the food was good if a bit repetitive,our only gripe was that the tea/ coffee was out of a machine. The rooms have just been decorated and so were fresh and clean... More

To start off on a good note the hotel itself was very clean, well laid out (dining room and bar area overlooking the seafront) with friendly and attentive staff. The location was excellent, right on the seafront, with great views from the veranda overlooking the beach. The rooms are excellent, and even have their own catering facilities! Food was clean...

I read many Trip Advisor reviews of this hotel before I went there, and I think many of the comments are either positive or negative depending on what the traveller is looking for. So I will try to be objectve so others can decide if it's right for them. This hotel is not "family friendly," in that there's not much... More

Great hotel with very comfortable views. Very helpful and extremely friendly staff. The free bus service to Funchal also is very reliable. We are vegetarians and they made us what we asked for. Mr Leonel Goncalves- the head waiter for fantastic and so were the chefs. Highly recommended hotel

We stayed elsewhere, but were delighted to find that it re-opened before we were due to return to the UK and were able to spend our last two nights in... More

I've stayed in this hotel for my first vacation with my baby boy and it was splendid. They have a great pool, very nice staff, great room, nice shower, wonderful view. The food was amazing, great variety. The biggest advantage was free bus ride to Funchal. Highly recommended.

Hotel is somewhat isolated but has an excellent, very regular and equally reliable bus service to the marina in Funchal (approximately every 45 minutes). From there you are just minutes away from the cable car and farmers market. Buffet meals with a varied and wide selection, all inclusive tariff so excellent value for money. Most staff very friendly and helpful... More

Enjoyed two very happy weeks at this excellent hotel. Our accommodation was spacious and as it is an apart-hotel it had a fully equipped kitchen area although as an all-inclusive hotel this provision was perhaps superfluous. We found the public areas comfortable with enough seating for all who wished to listen to the entertainment which was of a high standard... More
