Great location relative to Funchal. Great room, a bit old-fashioned. Because we had been here before, we saw that the hotel had been refurbished, but it did not really have a nice atmosphere. The carpeting has been replaced by cold canvas. White light everywhere, also in the rooms, it lacks atmosphere. Breakfast is the same every morning, as are the staff, they are busy with each other instead of with guests.
There is often a sewer smell around the hotel.
We were charmed by the location and the view, otherwise it leaves something to be desired.
I have been in this hotel for many years and have been closely monitoring the evolution and transformation of this space, a place suitable for all kinds of customers, couples and families. The indoor pool with super brown water and jacuzzi and sauna in operation was super quiet and we were almost alone enjoying these spaces. The breakfast in buffet system was excellent as always, very varied and always with fault replacement. Perfect! We were allowed to check out late without cost! Thanks! ❤️
Bardzo dobry tani hotel. Położony w pobliżu lotniska, przystanek autobusowy naprzeciwko hotelu. Można dojechać do centrum Funchal, a stamtąd w innym kierunku. Śniadanie za małą dopłatą, jak dla mnie smaczne - tzw kontynentalne, ale każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie. Można dokupić obiady za 25€/os. Basen wewnętrzny i zewnętrzny. Bar koło basenu, ręczniki kąpielowe przy barze. Pokoje czyste i komfortowe, obsługa miła i pomocna. Jeżeli będę wracał na Maderę z pewnością wybiorę ten hotel. Klimatyzacja w pokoju, choć nie używałem. Mogę z pewnością polecić ten hotel.
The hotel is good, on the beach, public transport stop nearby, there is hiking nearby. You can book surfing, diving, excursions at the hotel, breakfasts are also not bad.
But the service! From such a hotel you expect that they will be more friendly with you, take you to the room for the first time, tell you what and where to find, etc. None of this happened.
Upon check-in to the room there was a compliment - water, cookies and wine. But the water is not replenished later. In the room, towels are changed every day, robes, etc.
Все номера в отеле с видом на океан - потрясающий вид! За этот вид можно простить немного уставшую мебель в комнате. Вкусный разнообразный завтрак, есть белое вино и шампанское, свежеыжатый апельсиновый сок, смузи из киви.
Awesome little town and best hotel in the area I can find! Very comfortable and helpful staff! Shame I didn’t have time to try their Turkish bath room! Breakfast was a spread! And easily walkable downhill and back up (about 2 miles) to the beach restaurants of São Vicente
Great location in the Bay of a small fisherman's village. The view from the breakfast terrace was beautiful. Service was friendly and easy going. Public parking is available around the corner of the hotel (free from 8 pm to 8 am). Rooms and bathrooms are rather small but for us it was sufficient. Rooms are very quiet as windows to the small street are very well isolated. During our stay there was construction ongoing in the Bay (May 2023) which didn't bother us as we had breakfast before it started.
Very nice hotel. Excellent value for money. The location is very good and the transportation is convenient. It only takes 3 minutes to walk from the airport bus. Clean and good service. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. Breakfast was also great. Really recommend recommend recommend.
Fantastic space, a pleasant weekend that provided a spectacular weekend.
Since arrival at the very careful reception, the availability to help, like in the dining room where we were very well received, is ready with very fantastic service accompanied by excellent food.
The rooms were very clean with a babe arrival can provide a fantastic night, in the morning we found a wonderful buffet accompanied by a very performing staffer ready to help, We finally enjoy a very clean space near the pool and offering fantastic moments.
It will certainly be a place to return and recommend.
The hotel is in a perfect location, near the center of Funchal. Rooms are modern, extremely clean and the staff is literally the reason this hotel is so amazing.
We had an amazing experience and can totally guarantee it is absolutely worth it.
The breakfast is not provided via a buffet, you get a menu, but you are free to order as many things as you wish, no limit.
It is a hotel for people that wishes to go around and discover Madeira. If you prefer places to relax, this is not the right place as there is no pool.
Great

Very Good
GGuest UserI have visited this hotel before the recent renovation and would like to know about these changes. I am very surprised! I really like the open concept of front desk, bar, restaurant and its decoration. I emphasized the changes made to the room: decoration, comfort and extra facilities (tea, coffee, champagne and minibar). I like the swimming pool built on the terrace and surrounding area. The breakfast is great and I like the idea of the dinner menu. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Congratulations! ! ! 💖
FFaroSandraNice hotel that lived up to expectations.
Excellent location in Calheta, right on a golden sand beach, with direct access from the hotel. It is ideal to have a car as it is 30 minutes from Funchal.
It's worth paying extra to have a room with a sea view
The quality and quantity of the food complies with the all-inclusive package, as do the drinks.
Daily and varied entertainment.
Good spa with heated pool, Turkish bath, sauna and cold showers.
Very pleasant outdoor pool area, with plenty of sun loungers and well designed.
Free ping pong, paid billiards (€3/hour).
Very good price/quality ratio.
EElias KletterGreat big hotel. Lots of German pensioners. Very good location - on the ocean, next to a large shopping center Forum and Formosa beach. Bus 1 or 2 takes you to the center of Funchal in 12 minutes.
Breakfast is very varied, but queues for coffee after 8 am. Pass on the floor with stunning ocean views, you can sit outside.
Didn't like the pools - with a beautiful view, but shallow, waist-deep water everywhere. Only for children. Air conditioning only works for cooling - it was cold in the room.
GGuest UserA bit far from the center. But good cleaning. Very varied breakfast. Pool and jacuzzi that comes in handy when you return from excursions.
The views from the terraces are spectacular, especially at night.
buses very close
FFabianThe dining room -I was there for the breakfast- is an old one, not so inviting. The breakfast-selection is not so good, as a vegan or vegetarian you can't choose much (only beans & bread), the coffee is okay but not tasty, the juices are not fresh & sugary.
There is no big pot for cooking, for two persons it would be good to have one.
The bed is good, the fan does its job, the bathroom is big enough, the balcony practical.
The location is near to the busline, 30min to walk to the center & there is the Lido promenade (with some places to swim) to the next small city with a small light tunnel for pedestrians, there you can hear/see the surf :)
The opening times for the pool are too late in the morning and too short (8.00-20.00).
The female staff at the reception with the glasses (saturday evening), didn't manage my wake-up-call for the next morning (the staff at this day showed me that he had no notice for a call), thats not a good one, because sometimes you have to depend on it.

GGuest UserLocation was good as is just a 10 min walk to downtown. As a frequent traveler, I don't consider the hotel 5-star rated hotel. It's ok for a 4-star, but not 5. Doesn't meet a 5-star standard in several things. For example, if you are driving, parking is a little bit an hassle as you have to change from one building to another. Breakfast was good but not 5-star breakfast. Lack of warm breakfast dishes and pastries. Windows in the room not sound proof. Woke up severals times during night time as you could hear the noise from the Garbage truck. When you take a shower, leaks water towards the hand sink area. Pillows, not match a 5-star standard either. Was ok, but not great!
AAnthonyA stunning location and a very comfortable, clean hotel with amazing views from the bedroom and restaurant. Walking opportunities are limited due to the steepness of the terrain but there’s a great path down to Curral do Freitas (45-60 minutes). Service was very good but the vegetarian food was not up to the standards that we expected. Good selection at breakfast but the hot breakfast is not kept warm. Nice jacuzzi and nice, small indoor pool.Certainly worth a visit but could be even better with better food as it’s a long way to the nearest restaurant. €3.35 bus from Funchal (No. 81) but check timetables carefully
