Claimed to have sent VIP wine to the room and when confronted the staff wanted to double check with maid and we never heard the result. No luggage rack, heating iron, nor tissue paper. Really crowded breakfast.

Excellent hotel!
A wonderful stay, big rooms with excellent view, friendly and helpful staff. Rented the hotel's electric car, very comfortable to drive and not that expensive considering you don't have to pay for petrol (or even charging). Covid safety ensured very well by the staff, a big plus for that!

I liked location. I didn't like that there was no tea and coffee added every day in the room when run out. You have to go to the restaurant or bar just to have cup of tea.

This is a lovely hotel to relax in. My room was spacious, balcony was massive and private (I think all the rooms have balconies but some balconies are smaller and less private, my room no. was 816). Very clean and nicely decorated. It's so close to the beach that you can hear the waves from the room which is heaven and if that's not your thing the doors are soundproof. Best view I've had in a hotel (just the ocean). It's about 15 mins to the centro by bus, the hotel has a free shuttle service and the bus stop is just outside with a regular service. There is a black sand beach in front of the hotel, really pretty. The food was good, varied. Restaurant near it is worth a visit. If you are covid cautious, this place is for you. They take it very seriously (e.g. disinfected my suitcase on arrival, disinfected salt shakers when setting the table etc.) and it sets a good tone in the hotel e.g. ppl don't get in the same lift. They take your temp at check in and having masks, gloves and gel is mandatory (they made me buy gloves as I didn't have any). I felt very covid safe here. The only negative was that the service wasn't great. Only met 1-2 nice people on the front desk and otherwise, I found the staff to be a bit abrupt, questions about activities were met with responses about QR codes. Professional but not overly hospitable. There are steep gradients to the hotel and pool/beach! Overall my stay was super relaxing and I would certainly stay again.

This was a very nice experience! The rooms are nice, spacious and clean and they all have a gorgeous terrace with spectacular ocean views. The amenities are nice, the pool area is clean and very well maintained. Breakfast was ok, coffee could be improved but good value for money overall. We had a very nice stay although the location is not the best (being situated at the end of Funchal) but this is what makes it a bit quieter. They do offer a free shuttle bus to Funchal. All in all, I would recommend it!

Amazing location, couldn’t fault it other then air con for the hotter periods of the year! We went May and it was fine and 23 degrees - great weather. The room are huge and has sliding doors opening to sea and hear the sea view. Easy quick access into Funchal with number 1 bus which stops outside the hotel takes you there within 10 mins. The staff are lovely, so kind and friendly. The food at breakfast was amazing and dinner buffet was such great value for money. Would so go again! The pool is also so great little walk down and back up but so worth it!
