    My room was directly on the promenade so much noise and disturbance from drunks between 1 - 4 am. Politely complained to hotel but was told nothing could be done. Contacted booking.com and they arranged a new quiet room - thank you so much booking.com!!!

    great selection at breakfast

    The room was a bit outdated but it was an offer so. The breakfast food is a bit repetitive, but it is ok for a week stay, but the quality can definitively be improved without getting bankrupt.

    The hotel is exposed perfectly to the see and you can observe beautiful sunrises. It has external pools but also a relatively big indoor which includes an hydromassage pool, both useful when the weather is too cold.

    Dining area could use a refurbish; a bit outdated and too similar to cafeteria vibe rather than a cozy restaurant.

    Biggest disappointment was food served for Breakfast or dinner. We bought packet of five dinners which we asked for refund for two remaining after having three disappointing dinners. Also pricing at pool bar was to expensive and bar has been empty most of the time. I’m sure that lowering prices a little would brought more clients to purchase cocktail or cold beer while relaxing at pool. Also air conditioning in the room was very loud and most of the nights we had to switch it off and have a balcony open instead.

    Good looking hotel with most of the rooms facing Ocean. Very friendly staff always ready to help with any queries. Relaxing atmosphere through hotel. Plenty of restaurants and shops around, however hotel is located away from busy night live and stays quite at night for good sleep.

    Provision of coffee sachets in our room was not automatic. However, when we requested some, they were always delivered.

    Breakfasts excellent and very efficiently organised Most members of staff very friendly and welcoming Excellent long balcony with views of sea and pool Rooms very well sound proofed. Even when music was playing elsewhere in the hotel, we could barely hear it.

    We were really pleased with the room location with a wonderful terrace at swimming pool level. It's a pity that there weren't any deck chairs available on the private terrace. Also the pool towels were picked up twice but not changed a bit strange. The curtains in the room were quite dirty.

    Excellent location only 10 min by bus to Funchal city centre and loads to do in the area, shopping centre 10 min by foot and nice walks along the ocean promenade Excellent room size and wonderful stay. We will be back. Breakfast was very good as well and staff very friendly and customer oriented

    Majority of the beds by the pool need to be replaced, pool bar was over priced and the facilities in the “spa” were in terrible condition - the Turkish bath didn’t work and the jacuzzi also.

    Lovely stay in this hotel, would definitely recommend. Room and balcony were spacious, lovely pools, friendly staff (especially front desk), excellent location.

    The room had huge stains up the walls which let the room down. The snack bar needs to sell more snacks. They sell lunch and ice-cream..they should consider selling nuts, crisps etc
