    What they got right and wrong

    The warm ambiance and friendly staff made us feel right at home! ! Gorgeous ocean views from the balcony were a breathtaking highlight, especially during sunset.

    The food quality varied inconsistently, with some meals delicious and others lacking inspiration. The remote location made accessing nearby attractions quite challenging.

    stunning sea views
    limited kids' menu

    The hotel features great facilities for kids, including a giant chess set that my children loved playing with. The staff was engaging and accommodating, ensuring our family suite was spacious and comfortable for our group. Plus, the breathtaking sea views from our room made it all the better!

    In my wife's opinion, they could use a better kids' menu. The food selection could be more appealing for younger guests.

    bland food

    Our group vacation was amazing! We enjoyed the pool and the organized tours helped us explore the island. Activities like giant chess were great, and the staff was super helpful throughout our stay.

    The only letdown was the food, which was mostly bland during our stay.

    limited activities

    My recent stay here was enjoyable! The beautiful ocean views from my balcony and the attentive staff exceeded my expectations. After my previous visit in funchal, this getaway was even better with great food options and a relaxing pool area.

    the evening entertainment was underwhelming.

    would like to come again

    The room was a Superior Studio Sea View with air conditioning, a balcony, and a comfortable seating area. We had a refrigerator, a private bathroom with complimentary body soap, shampoo, and hairdryer. The spa facilities were great for relaxation. The breakfast was diverse with fresh fruits and baked goods. Nice afternoon snacks too.

    I adored the stunning ocean views from my balcony, inviting tranquility every morning. The hotel’s excellent staff promptly assisted with all my needs, ensuring my stay was both comfortable and delightful, especially for seniors like myself.

    More shaded areas by the pool would be helpful.

    breathtaking views
    fantastic ocean view
    fresh buffet
    disappointing orange juice
    mediocre breakfast

    The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the room had a fantastic ocean view that made our stay memorable. I really appreciated the effort from the staff, especially in keeping the buffet fresh and clean. However, I found the orange juice at breakfast a bit disappointing and not up to par with the rest of the food quality. Overall, it was a nice getaway for us as a couple, and we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere by the sea.

    ocean view
    peaceful escape
    cleanliness inconsistency

    Stunning ocean views made waking up a joy, with the relaxing sound of crashing waves filling the air. The location provides a peaceful escape, removed from the hustle, though it does come with a need for stamina to navigate the steep roads and paths.

    Feeling a bit drained after a few days due to the inconsistent cleanliness. used glasses weren’t always taken away, and the wastepaper basket often went untouched. The self-service at the dining area felt overwhelming during peak times—a rush for food and then a search for clean plates. As for the food, while it had variety, it leaned heavily towards mass-produced options, especially the desserts, which turned out to be mostly gelatin-based. More meaningful vegetarian options would also have been welcome. having to pick dinner items in the morning felt off. And if that shuttle bus to town doesn’t line up with your plans, expect some unexpected hikes up steep roads.

    Exceptional Stay with Stunning Pool Views

    My partner and I enjoyed an unforgettable 3-night getaway. The classic studio with pool view offered relaxing vibes, and we appreciated the friendly staff. Breakfast featured delicious options, though fresh orange juice would enhance it. For a great evening, explore the nearby fishing village. Highly recommend!

    ocean view
    friendly staff
    smoking guests
    inconsistent guidelines
    outdoor dining

    A spectacular stay with a breathtaking ocean view from the Classic Studio. The friendly staff and beautiful gardens really made this experience enjoyable. The live music each evening created a lovely atmosphere, complemented by the varied and tasty food options. However, the proximity of smoking guests in outdoor areas affected my ability to enjoy meals outside peacefully, and clearer guidelines on meal attire were not always enforced.
