Never stay here. Only one floor has AC. Out of 10 day stay, only 4 dishes out of all meals [all inclusive] were tasty. I'm used to GOOD Portuguese food! This wasn't! Outdated building. Shabby amenities [ripped bathroom towels]. Canceled scheduled activity after ppl showed up for swim fitness class. Open balcony gym located over dining room. So while eating, you can hear the person running on the treadmill because you are in thr same room.

I didn’t like that was no air conditioner and that was unacceptable, dinnind area everybody was swetting and on the walking area, and I had to change room upon arrival because I was assuming every room had air conditioner but I paid xtra for that. Also entertainment was poor beeing the the hotel is so far from the city they should have better atractions

Location is great. Staff friendly and sorted out our requests very quickly. The only thing we didn’t like in our room was lack of air con. Food is ok but nothing special. View from the balcony amazing Our flight was in the evening and we used the option with late check out. Massive plus for this hotel. We also liked the fact that hotel was asking the guests to refill the bottle with water in the canteen instead of giving a new plastic bottle every day

Ideally located hotel

We chose this hotel because we wanted an "All Inclusive" and this certainly was! Although a little dated in décor we found it to be spotlessly clean. The food was plentiful with a good selection of hot and cold dishes. Red and white wine, sangria, beer, soft drinks including tea and coffee readily available. Our room even had a small kitchenette with kettle, fridge, sink, cutlery, cups saucers and glasses if you wanted to bring your own drinks to your room. All rooms have a seaview and a pleasant longish walk along the footpath (some parts were quite hilly) take you to Funchal one way and the delightful fishing village the other.

Really great hotel.

We loved our stay at this hotel. We had an annexe room which suited us as the pool and sunbeds were quieter. There was a little bar 3-11pm where the talented barman, Luis, served us great cocktails. Our room was large and clean with a big balcony overlooking the sea. The restaurant in the main hotel was at times very busy but as the tables were not allocated or timed we managed to fit in after the rush. The staff were all polite, friendly and efficient. The wine was served in large carafes and there was bottled water readily available. The food was very good, great choice, well cooked, plenty of it and dishes were replaced quickly as they finished. The entertainment was okay - good singers and folkdance show. The shuttle bus to town was useful. We would go in to town on it but not join the scramble to return on it. We had local bus passes so would get the no.2 bus back and walk through the tunnel to Praia Formosa beach. Although a lot of people did swim in the sea the beach is large pebbles and the under tow in the water not for the feint hearted.
