Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located near the Lido complex with a great view of the ocean. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped, but a mirror for us ladies near the socket point would have been appreciated. The service was friendly overall, with particularly pleasant receptionists. The location is superb, right in the main tourist area with easy access to shops and restaurants. The dining experience was a mix of good and disappointing meals. The facilities offer plenty of sunbeds and a pleasant pool area.
I recently stayed at this hotel in Madeira, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The rooms, although in need of updating, were clean and had comfortable bedding. The service was excellent, with staff always ready to assist and provide a welcoming atmosphere. The location was convenient for exploring, being a short walk from Funchal's attractions. The dining options were varied and satisfying, and the facilities met my needs during my stay.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, although a bit dated, served their purpose well and were spacious enough. The service was a mixed bag with some standout individuals. The location was convenient for exploring Funchal but felt a bit geared towards all-inclusive guests. The dining experience offered a good variety of Portuguese-style dishes. The facilities were sufficient for a comfortable stay.
