I had an excellent holiday at this resort, truly a perfect place to unwind with good food, comfortable rooms, and a clean pool area.

I just had an amazing week at the hotel with stunning ocean views from my room. The staff were consistently attentive and friendly, and the overall cleanliness of the hotel was impressive. However, I found the food options to be somewhat repetitive during a two-week stay. The location, while beautiful, is a bit far from Funchal's center, though the shuttle service makes it manageable.

The hotel offers a serene environment with beautiful ocean views and charming gardens that enhance the overall experience. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, particularly in addressing our room issues promptly. However, the dining options were somewhat limited, lacking variety, and the rooms felt outdated and could use some renovations. Overall, it wasn't quite the four-star experience we expected, but the tranquil atmosphere made it a pleasant stay.
Rooms

The rooms were quite dated, but they were exceptionally clean and came equipped with a fridge and kettle. However, an air conditioner would be a welcome addition.

Situated near Praia Formosa, the location was peaceful with good access to beach walks; however, it was a bit of a trek to local shops, which could be a downside.
Dining

The dining experience could be improved as there was a lack of variety; while the quality was decent, it didn't offer enough options for guests with dietary restrictions.
Facilities

The pool area was well-maintained and offered a nice place to relax, though the additional fees for umbrellas felt a bit unnecessary.

I had mixed feelings about this hotel. While the rooms were spacious and clean, and the views were stunning, the dining options left a lot to be desired, and the service was not up to par. Additionally, the location felt isolated, which made dining out inconvenient unless you were okay with the all-inclusive options. Overall, I appreciate the effort of the staff but don't think it deserves a 4-star rating.
Rooms

The suite was huge, featuring a separate bedroom, roomy living quarters, a kitchenette, and two bathrooms. Although dated, it was very clean and offered a lovely view.
Service

While some staff were friendly, particularly at the bar, others, like the reception staff, were abrupt and not very accommodating.
Location
5.0
The hotel is quite far from restaurants and bars, making it inconvenient for those wanting to explore outside, with cabs costing 20 euros a day.
Dining
5.0
The food was mass-produced and quite bland, with limited vegetarian options and underwhelming dessert choices. Breakfast was particularly disappointing with a lack of variety.
Facilities
6.0
The pools were clean and well-kept, but the bar area was too small, often resulting in long queues during busy times.
