Very good and reliable with all the necessary support (when needed) from the site team. Very well maintained with a really good pool and adequate provision of sun beds. Although it would appear that some misguided and desperate souls still need to "sun bed block" on occasions. Excellent supermarket across the road which is well priced with a very good... More

The hotel is probably as close to the ocean as you can get in the Funchal area. The room, service, buffet breakfast, the facilities we used - everything met our expectations and made for an enjoyable stay. It seems each room in this hotel boasts an ocean view. A supermarket is right across the road and numerous more or less... More

We stayed in this hotel for a week in early May 2013. It is a little way out of Funchal in the Lido area but is well served by local and sightseeing buses...all of which stop at the top of the hill about 50metres from Hotel. The rooms are lovely we had a double in the garden part with balcony... More

We enjoyed our stay her very much. The staff were all very pleasant and everything was done to a high standard. Although a good half hour walk into the centre of Funchal, we enjoyed that as the weather was perfect and we like walking. The bus stop is only just up the hill from the hotel, for an easy trip...

Beautiful Island with most of the population living in very busy Funchal. This hotel situated twenty minutes walk to the centre of Funchal. Out of the hotel, turn right and climb approx. 150 yards up Cardiac Hill to the main road. Seriously you must be fit to walk this hill, alternatively a local bus or taxi. The hotel is as... More

We stayed here as a timeshare swap. We had suite 705. All these upper floor rooms appear to be the same - two double bedrooms that have been turned into one double and a lounge with a sofa bed. There is a small, basic kitchenette with a microwave and two hobs. Both main rooms are large, with good sized bathrooms... More

The breakfast buffets were superb with plenty of choice and different items daily, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. There was the opportunity to sit outside if one wished.

My family stayed in an apartment in March 2013. Rooms nice, well kept and with a kitchenette with the basics (but not more)l. Only drawback is that you have to pay extra for the safe. All rooms have a balcony with beautiful views. Good breakfast. Staff helpful and friendly. Would love to stay again.
