"Pillows were bad! Bumpy and piling inside and pillow case was broken. Bedsheets are loosely prepared so they all come undone when you get into the bed. Breakfast was average, location was good and walkable. Cleanliness in bathroom could be improved. Staff were quiet nice. "
"Loved the location, enjoyed the large garden rooms, breakfast was abundant and amenities were good. Parking is available on hotel grounds. The lobby needs an update to match the rest of the hotel. The room service menu could do with better options other than sandwiches. "
"Very helpful friendly staff, beautiful hotel, comfortable rooms, good fresh selection of food for breakfast, didn’t get to use the pool but the roof patio is fantastic!"
"The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city, with everything close by. It’s just a short walk to the ocean and marina, as well as a large mall and plenty of shopping options. There are also great restaurants all around.
The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff who made the stay even more enjoyable. The room was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was phenomenal, fresh, delicious, and offered a wide variety of choices.
I would highly recommend this hotel!"
"The hotel is a solid offering for a good priced all inclusive.
Serve your own drinks around the pool during the day. Constant snack bar. Great pizza.
Yes, it’s focused more on the saga holiday demographic but in our 40’s, no kids, we don’t want roudy anyway!
It’s perfectly located to walk into Funchal, have meals out when you want the variety etc.
The negatives:
Unfortunately my pyjamas went missing with the laundry, having been left on top of the sheets. Nothing in the hotel laundry, nothing in the contract laundry. They can’t just disappear!
The pool was freezing - nice for actual swimming but too cold just to chill in.
Dinner - if you go in after about 8pm, the nice salads (prawns / cold meat) had gone and were not replaced. We specifically checked what was on offer one evening and decided to stay in the hotel because of the offering but because we like a late dinner (we’re younger than the typical demographic of the hotel) the nicer stuff had gone. A real shame as we’d have eaten out by that time in the holiday. The menu in the à la carte restaurants could when been more varied - but we didn’t eat in them."
Hostels are a great way to stay for a lower cost, so you can save your money for exploring. We've heard good things about the marina and other attractions in this destination, as well as the sporting events.
