I booked this very late in the day after a cancelled flight and the staff was ready for me when I arrived. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I had a wonderful balcony on an upper floor with a great view. Only complaint was that it appears to be a slightly older building and there are very few power outlets in the rooms.

Great location with good facilities

Rooms and hotel were clean and in a good location with plenty of places to eat nearby. The bathroom was a bit dated and only hand wash and body/hair shampoo available, no conditioner or hand cream that would normally come with a 4 star hotel. Free parking which most of the time we were able to get a spare (first come first serve) however we did have to use a local multistorey when full. Overall a nice hotel with 2 decent sizes pools with plenty of deck chairs again. Breakfast was ok with plenty of options and we ate out for dinner so can't comment on the evening meals.

Spacious room but needs to be refreshed, at least painting. We had a nice sea view from the window. The staff was welcoming and nice. The breakfast was average, almost without pastries; breakfast coffee was not good, if not bad. Regarding dinners, bars and pool, we haven't try any of them, so can say nothing. Overall good, but can be better for the price.

We stayed for 9 nights. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was nice and the food was alright (what you would expect from a buffet). The room was more spacious than expected, we had a living space with a sofa separate from the bedroom. Cleanliness could have been better, the rooms were cleaned daily but the bed sheets weren't changed at all during our stay. (We also noticed stains on the bed sheets even though they were clean when we checked in). They have 2 pool, one only for adults which was nice. Water at the adult pool was very cold so we had to take a trip to the other one for a swim. The other pool is "heated" but expect the water to still be a bit cold. All in all I would recommend staying here. Would stay here again if I come back to Madeira.

Velg rom litt høyt oppe pga støy.

Hadde en flott uke på hotellet. Fikk rom over parkering/ garasjen, mye smelling i bildører. Men oppgraderte til et rom høyere opp og ble veldig fornøyd. Stor balkong. Svært hyggelig renholdspersonale. Noe slitt på badet. Gode senger. Rikholdig frokostbuffet med mange alternativer, også glutenfritt.

Zentrale Lage im Lido-Viertel, inmitten vieler Restaurants und Ausgehmöglichkeiten. Bushaltestellen (auch Aerobus, Hop on-hopp off und Yellow Bus) fast vor der Tür. Kleine Supermärkte sind fußläufig erreichbar. Das gesamte Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch die Aufbewahrung des Gepäcks für einige Stunden nach dem Auschecken war kein Problem. Reichhaltiges Frühstücksbüffet mit viel Obst, landestypischen Köstlichkeiten, aber auch warmen Speisen. Kostenfreies WLAN ohne Verbindungsabbrüche im gesamten Haus vorhanden. Zum Außenbereich gehören zwei Pools und ein top gepflegter Garten, der zum Verweilen einlädt. Vorbildliche tägliche Zimmerreinigung und eine große Suite mit Bad, Schlaf- und separatem Wohnzimmer sowie Balkon mit Blick auf's Meer und die Umgebung. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt und kehre gerne zurück!

Modern und Top Preis- Leistung

Es ist ein Top Hotel um die Insel zu erkunden. Das Mietfahrzeug kann man direkt vor dem Hotel gratis parkieren. Parkplätze sind sonst schwierig zu finden. Das Hotel ist modern eingerichtet, das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr reichhaltig. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, bequeme Betten und in der Nacht ist es sehr ruhig - man hört also keine Nachbarn. Das Wohnzimmer und der Balkon waren auch top. Es gibt zwei Swimmingpools mit schöner Gartenanlage. In der Nähe gibt es sehr viele Restaurants usw. und alles zu Fuss erreichbar. Meiner Meinung nach ist die Lage besser als im Zentrum von Funchal. Das Hotelpersonal ist sehr hilfreich bei Routenplanung usw. Weiter ist das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut.

Der Empfang war wunderbar, MA konnte deutsch und hate mich auch schon erwartet. Auch sonst hat mir die Rezeption beim Wecken und Check in für den Rückflug ohne Umstände geholfen. Die MA im Restaurant waren sehr fleißig, umgehend wurden fast leere Schüsseln, Kaffeecontainer ect. aufgefüllt, die Tische abgeräumt und gesäubert. Einziges Manko, wenn man unglücklich saß, war die Klima-Anlage etwas zu kühl eingestellt. Zimmer/Suiten schon ein wenig abgewohnt (Möbel), ansonsten aber alles ganz angenehm. Hotel liegt in einer schönen Gegend zum Spazierengehen/Baden - nur kurzer Weg zum Meer/Schwimmbäder. Shoppen konnte man von dort auch im Umkreis, 3 Stationen Richtung Forum Madeira oder 4 -5 Stationen nach Madeiras Altstadt (auch keine Probleme zu Fuß).
