The visit started badly. We could see the hotel but couldnt drive to it as the 50M road leading to it was one way. Eventually found the other road to it. Parked in front of the doors to unload luggage and were told rather rudely we couldnt park there. As I had already tried to get in the barriered car... More

My wife and I recently visited this hotel on a last minute booking through Thomsons Holidays. We cant say enough good things about this hotel. The rooom, facilities, food and staff were all excellent.It is situated about 11/2 miles (about 1/2 hour easy downhill walk) from Funchal centre and its shops etc.,athough it is mostly uphill on the way back....

We travelled as a couple in our late thirties and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Similar to the other review about the OAPs, there was no trouble, no rush, peace and quiet and plenty of sun loungers and jacuzzi time. The room was fantastic. Very spacious, exceptionally clean and ours had a great view of the sea and the harbour at... More

This is a lovely clean hotel with very friendly staff. Unfortunately we had a room on the back with no view, Room 115, we were offered a change but we decided we quite liked it after one night! The entertainment team were new and fresh, Carl and Gail tried to get to know the guests and were always smiling. We... More

I stayed at this Hotel for two weeks 1st Feb to 13th Feb 2012 however it is with great regret that I have to critisise this Hotel on no other aspect than its position which is half way up a very very steep hill. I am a fairly fit 68 yr old and I have holidayed in most destinations around... More

All sea view rooms overlook... More

We needed to get away...and in search of Winter sun our options where very limited. We are both in our 30's so when we arrived we were a little bit surprised at the average age of most of the other guests (65+)..however we quickly found out that this was to our advantage! we had the pool, sauna and most of...

Stayed for one week, end of Januay, beginning of February, half board. Food was fab and plentiful and the evening meal was based on a different theme each night e.g. Italian, Chinese, Madeiran, but with a wide range of other basics which were on offer every day. Even the fussiest eater would have found it very, very hard to complain... More
