What a fabulous hotel. I can't believe it's only rated 4 *. Beautiful setting overlooking the sea, with amazing flowers in the gardens. Facilities are the best I've experienced. 5 pools to chose from and also gym and spa. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was incredibly comfortable. All reception and dining areas were well designed and the... More

This is a beautiful Hotel with gardens that have to be seen to be believed. All the staff are always friendly and helpful and the breakfasts alone are worth the visit! The atmosphere in the hotel is very relaxed

We went to this Hotel after looking at reviews and we were not disappointed. It is very relaxing with no outstreached hands looking for tips, Great breakfast and a good bus service into the centre of Funchal. It even has BBc1, BBC2 and ITV on the television. The grounds are like a small botanical garden with a great swimming pool... More

Superb hotel complex, beautiful gardens, sun beds plentiful and not just crammed around the pool. We stayed b&q plenty of eating places with lots of variety. Eat at the steak and surf, don't be put off by the view over the supermarket car park. Food fabulous. Nice walk along the promenade takes about 45 mins. Back to hotel, my wife... More

Super hotel plenty of space in the apartment, terrific facilities and very clean. We have been to Madeira several times now and found this hotel as good as they come. Although not as close to the city centre as, say the Pestana Carlton or the Regency, this is more than made up with other benefits. We got free parking in... More

This was our first trip to Madeira for our 25th wedding anniversary. On arrival our suite had rose petals everywhere together with a bottle of Cava and beautiful flowers.
