The other reviews sum it up well. Food was O.K. The sweet desert was usually jelly, or something creamy. There was no corn flakes for two days I was there, no dried fruits for breakfast either.. The bedrooms were large. The beds had no headboards, there was a shelf which stuck out from the wall about a foot just behind... more

Stayed at this hotel for one week in July on a half board basis. Largely agree with other reviews. Pros: The hotel is a good base for exploring the island, location is beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Free transfer into Funchal and back on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Beach just across the road from the hotel. A very nice restaurant... more

The hotel is very smart and the staff are friendly. Can't fault it's position. We were all inclusive - the food is fine, but the free drinks only include Vodka, Gin, Wine and Beer. The only fault was that the bar staff double up as waitresses, hence we did have to "look" for someone to serve us. The photographs show... more

Just returned from a week here. The weather wasn't that good, so that doesn't help, and if the sun had shone all the time, certain minor complaints perhaps would not exist. It's a small hotel, in a lovely quiet little bay about 25 minutes drive from Funchal. It's situated in a village, but sadly apart from the promenade on which... more

Really nice, the hotel and staff were faultless. The photos don't do this place justice. It is a newish hotel subtly styled on the outside to reflect a row of traditional portuguese built houses but inside it has a very tasteful contemporary feel. All rooms have a beautiful sea view. The place was immaculately clean and the food was the... more

Every part of this holiday was good considering how much we paid for the week, The rooms on the 4th floor are supurb and the service we received from all the staff was 1st class. Celia on reception could not have been more helpful and is a credit to this hotel. If you are looking for a real chillout then... more

We returned from our two week stay at this hotel on 22nd Oct. All the staff were extremely helpful and went that extra mile to accommodate our needs. Our room was large, well furnished with TV. lots of hanging space. Extra hangers were provided within minutes of asking. We had patio doors onto a balcony overlooking the beach. Being a... more

After initial confusion and mess ups from Hotelsbooked.com the holiday was a total success. Much much better than expected. The hotel rooms are Large, comfortable, clean (cleaned daily although carpet was stained and marked it was cleaned) with lovely bathrooms and pleasant furniture. All rooms have a sea view and Oh Boy!!! what a view. Right over the Atlantic sea,... more

After utter chaos with hotelsbooked, just returned from 3rd choice hotel Baia do Sol. Hotel very good value - food more than adequate - staff good fun - but what made the trip memorable were the lovely bunch of hotelsbooked survivors - thank you all for a happy & relaxing week. We all got excellent value from the included drinks!!... more
