Very good hotel. Value for money, it was clean all the time. The staff always smiled and were friendly. The services were good enough.

“Wonderful experience”

Booked through Love Holidays and loved this hotel. Travelled with my sister and we were given rooms with sea views at the front of the hotel. Rooms were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Thanks to previous reviews we used the Bt app for transport around as the hotel shuttle to Funchal never worked out with suitable times for us. We also used the app, Get Your Guide, to book activities including the Best of the West tour which was a great introduction to the island and visits to scenic coastal villages. We also booked the eco catamaran dolphin and whale watching trip from Funchal harbour and were lucky to see both. Our final activity was a tuk tuk pick up from the hotel up to Monte for the toboggan ride, which was great fun. The hotel catering and hospitality team is exceptional as is the housekeeping and reception team that we encountered. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We would love to return, thank you.

Pleasant hotel . Depending on your fitness levels walkable to the centre and also to the Lido area. We were given a room initially but the view was marred by a tree so we asked for a higher floor, they found us room 150 and the views were great. Our room had been updated , however we were disappointed not to find bath robes, it would have been nice to wrap up on a morning to enjoy the views with a coffee and they would have also been useful when using the indoor pool. Shower fine although a strange residue of a previous non slip covering on the floor of it. Handles on wardrobe ridiculously hard to use, tiny and hurt when you gripped them as small and square with sharp edges. Mini bar well stocked , tea and coffee and kettle provided although only decaf coffee ?? and only 2 small portions of milk. The lady cleaning the room did start to leave 4 portions about 4 days into the holiday. Breakfast was lovely, loads of choice and we sat outside each morning looking at the view. The outdoor pool looked lovely but we did not use as weather mixed but it was a nice area of the hotel, the indoor pool area and gym however was tired looking and needs investment as due to the weather it would have been used much more . We ate in the a la carte restaurant twice , food tasty but service slow . The cocktail bar was nice but a bit dated but there is a small outdoor seating area and you can get snacks. Tips, ask for a higher room . Download the Bolt taxi app. Use the courtesy bus sometimes , a great plus for the hotel. Wear suitable shoes for the hills .

We arrived by coach transfer from airport,roughly,50 minutes,twisting and turning,the accent to this hotel,Yes Maderia is up and down,but that can easily be overcome,if you are not up to it,This hotel has a day time,very well organised courtesy mini bus,at set times,it will drop you off in Funchal,and at same point ,pick you up. We used this each day by prebooking at reception ,night before,its all Free. After 6pm we got a bus,number 45 back at 2 euros each,or taxi,at 10 euros for 4 people,no waiting with taxis everywhere. So the reception is professionally set up,efficient,polite and extremelly helpfull,not found this any where else,on this scale. The rooms ,2,had sea view balconies,with the whole of funchal across the harbour,end to end in sight,with fantastic views of mountains in the back ground and the chairlift,rideing above the central highway bridge.,not chair life is being seasonally serviced till April,so get bus . Rooms had it all,kettle,and all accesories,big tv,lined curtains,comfy beds,nice sheets,spotless housekeeping,walk in shower.,heating,soft towels. We all had b/b,good selection,all a bit different for english breakfasts,but easily adaptable,more continental,and plenty of it. After being out all day,we hurried back for the happy hour,as alcoholic drinks were nearly half price and cocktails,Lovely. We tried the evening Buffet ,but at 32 euros each,it was expense,and very Bland,compared with fresh served meals in the multitude of resteraunts in town,which like for like far cheaper. Although,as a treat the Ala Carte resteraunt,under the pool was extra special,But usually quiet ,and it had No ambiance,. We all agreed,it was a Hotel to reccomend,and especially ,all the staff,who made our hard earned holiday EXTRA special.
