Unusually for Madeira, the weather was not good for most of our stay. Limiting our use of outdoor facilities. However: Excellent surroundings and splendid views. Very well situated for a short walk into Funchal itself. If you do eat out there are very good local restaurants and bars. These were particularly welcome as not accessible at home because of Coved. Good control measures everywhere.

We purchased units in November 2019 and used some for 17 nights at the beach club. We were delighted with the size of the one bed apartment..( 4 single beds) as our son should have been joining us. Due to Covid this didn???t happen. The apartment is well supplied with utensils etc and the location is excellent. Had a great view of the fireworks and as the apartments are all sea facing we enjoyed lots of sunshine. Excellent stay!

We stayed for a 9 day break over the Christmas period. This was the first time we had gone abroad for Christmas and we had a fab experience. It definitely will not be our last holiday at this time or to the wonderful Madeira. We extended our weeks timeshare break by booking 2 additional days in the hotel. Same resort just a different floor. On arrival our check in was speedy and efficient. We did feel the reception staff could have been a bit more warm and welcoming and this continued throughout our stay but they were always polite. Our hotel room had a fabulous pool and sea view but on moving to our timeshare studio we were disappointed to find we had a mountain view overlooking the car park so we asked if there was a possibility of a sea view studio. At that day the EU had imposed stricter restrictions on travel from the UK and there was some confusion on who would be arriving or cancelling and we were asked to enquire again the next day. We were delighted to receive a call the next day from our resort rep. to say there was a sea view room available and with the support of the housekeeping team we were moved by 11am. This really made our holiday so much more special. The studio was adequate and comfortable albeit a bit tired with a basic kitchen area. A few small issues such as a leaky sink plug but otherwise fine. Maid service everyday ensured the room was clean and tidy. All the service staff in the resort were friendly and helpful. The pool area was large, well maintained and very nice. We had breakfast the first 2 days but this was disappointing and put us off using the restaurant for dining. We do enjoy experiencing different restaurants anyway and the resort is ideally placed as a short stroll from the centre of Funchal but with plenty of excellent restaurants nearby as well. The hygiene both within and outside the resort was excellent with great systems in place due to Covid. We felt safe at all times. Probably safer than we do in the UK. Overall a great holiday, our first Christmas abroad but definitely not our last and we would love to return to Madeira and see more of the island.
