It's all been said really. From our point of view:- For:- Friendly, helpful staff. Good extensive breakfast (to the usual Madeiran hotel standard). Clean, quiet at night. Good drinks prices. Against:- The bed we had was hard (again this seems to be the usual in Madeiran hotels in our experience). Cool pool (ie not very warm!). Small breakfast area (could... More

It... More

Father is very much in charge and how effective he is. From the front desk welcome to kitchen uniform on and sometimes running... More
