this was our third visit to this hotel and once again we enjoyed our stay. The hotel is about half an hours walk out of Funchal, which if you are quite elderly it is up a very steep hill although the bus service is frequent. The hotel was recommended to us by a friend and we in turn would recommend mend it to others. We did not eat in the hotel apart from breakfast so cannot comment on the food. Breakfast was excellent with loads of choices.

This hotel is a lovely hotel in a great location. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent lots to choose from. The pools are well kept and views are amazing. My only complaint was the beds were very uncomfortable. I woke up sore in the morning as they were so firm. Would love to return to this hotel but that is the only factor that would stop me. Lots off bars close by to.

I have nothing to complain about this hotel that I spent a week at in early October 2019. The room with pool and sea view was good and well cleaned every day. Equipped with pool towel and bathrobe. Location below reception level.
The breakfast selection is excellent. The pub is a good haven for football and a small but good meal. In addition, there are many other dining places in the hotel that I did not try out. Nice service at all levels. Sea bath and pool. Lots of sunbeds.
Very central location, close to the center of Funchal and to the Lido area.

Everything was good. Except when we went to the market to buy fruit. These two women ripped us off. Added mouldy fruit to make it heavy so we paid more for weight. We dudnt realise till we'd left the market. Be careful at the fruit market. They are on the 1st floor.
