Ok for one night

Overpriced but fabulous location for one night. Think travelodge before renovations. I was a female solo traveller and it suited my plans and felt safe. Staff lovely, easy check in/out and easy to park at the hotel or opposite. Nice little touristy town. My room was clean but missing a net curtain and as it was ground floor I couldn’t open the curtains as people walked past. If I was there more than one night I would have asked to move. Slow WiFi, but it worked, no tv signal. Dust fell off the main curtain each time I shut it. Double glazing needs replacing as it’s not clear, but once I managed to open the door (dodgy lock) there was a fabulous view. Great shower cubicle and pressure, but dirty shower head and sink. No kettle, this is a standard hotel requirement at this price, this needs addressing urgently. Woodwork has rust coming out of it. Definitely needs a renovation, but I wouldn’t spend £87 here again. Breakfast was Ok, no juice on offer but nice coffee machine and a basic range of hot and cold offerings, enough to keep you going. I didn’t see anyone in the pools. The bed was actually really comfortable and it was nice to have a proper double bed. I would return at half the price as it is in a great spot and the staff were really nice, and not their fault the hotel is tired and overpriced. I walked past the Calomar and it looks much newer so sadly I’d choose that place next time.

Basic option in Sao Vicente

The hotel was very quiet during the stay. I found the hotel to be fairly basic. I only stayed a night and would not want to stay for my longer. Breakfast was nothing to write home about. The view was good from the balcony and being so close to the sea was good, but I’d stay at another hotel if returning to the area.

Lugar paradisíaco

Lugar paradisíaco. O hotel, embora renovando em alguns sectores como foram os quartos denota alguns sinais de envelhecimento. Sala de refeições muito bonita e bem situada. Áreas De apoio um pouco envelhecidas. Pessoal atento e competente faz daquele sítio um local fantástico para recuperar as forças. Fiquei numa suite Júnior e estranhei não ter frigobar no quarto nem nenhuma gentileza do hotel. Globalmente um sítio a voltar também pela envolvência da natureza única da Costa norte da ilha. Parabéns.

Great hotel refurbished a couple of years ago. Only stayed 3 nights - not sure I would want to spend a week here! Limited things to do. Outdoor pool not heated. There is a restaurant which does a fixed price buffet menu. You NEED a hire car!

Great value for money

Really great shorefront hotel located just a walk away from shops and restaurants. Initial impression was excellent and I was very surprised at the value for money (although I didn't go in summer so may be more expensive in summer). The staff were welcoming, friendly, and quite relaxed which I liked. The hotel has everything you need - indoor and outdoor pools, restaurant buffet and a la carte, bar, tennis courts, games tables, gym area, etc, etc. Some facilities were closed or were quiet but I appreciate I wasn't there during main tourist season. The room was very good - spacious, balcony, clean, usual amenities - however a downside was the air conditioning didn't seem to work (the fan worked, but no cooling) which didn't bother me but I get how it would bother some people and definitely in summertime. It's easy to drive to the hotel but parking is really tight - the receptionist seemed happy for me to park in the bus stop/lay-by across the road (which most folk seemed to do anyway). Cleanliness of the hotel was excellent. Food was fine - I just had the buffet, which may have had more choice but it's not a complaint. If you're going to Madeira for a sunbathing holiday then this hotel probably won't tick all your boxes because it is on the north shore of the island (cloudier, cooler) and it is in the shadow of a giant (impressive) cliff face some of the day. If you're going to Madeira for what I did - sightseeing, hiking, exploring and general relaxing, then this is for you.

Beautiful views in Estalagem do Mar

Beautifully situated and enjoyable hotel. The ground floor rooms open to the outdoor pool, but at least in July they where quite damp and at least the two rooms we considered had a moldy smell. The reception kindly and patiently let us choose the room we preferred and we enjoyd a lot our stay in an upper floor room with a view over the pool to the sea.

Low prices, great service

The best place to be for few days if you like small villages, or better if you are passing do stop here. Prices are usually low compared to the service and free pool and jacuzzi.

L'hotel était bien dans l'ensemble pour le prix, mais les draps de la chambres n'étaient pas très propre et le wifi ne fonctionnait pas. Le petit déjeuner de l'hotel est assez bien : fruits, pain, oeuf, charcuteries, fromages, céréales mais il n'était pas très étoffé. Le personnel était très gentil.

Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für Madeira. Die Auswahl beim Frühstück war sehr groß und es gab jeden Tag kleine Änderungen. Es wurde auch bis zum Ende frische Ware nachgelegt, sodass nie etwas vergriffen war am Buffet. Man hat das Gefühl, dass sich seitens des Personals Mühe gegeben wird. Im Prinzip empfehlenswert - ruhige Lage, top Frühstück, atemberaubende Aussicht (jedes Zimmer hat Meerblick), gute Austattung mit Innen- und Außenpool, Whirlpool, Sauna, Billard, Tischtennis, Tennisplatz, Fitnessraum und schöne Hotelbar mit Aussicht auf den Ozean. Die Zimmer und der Speisesaal sind modernisiert und sauber, allerdings ist der Rest der Anlage ist leider etwas in die Jahre gekommen, da seit der Eröffnung 1990 nicht allzuviel saniert wurde. Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt und würden wiederkommen. Im Prinzip kann man dieses Hotel weiterempfehlen, man darf allerdings nicht zu viel erwarten.
