This was our second visit to this wonderful Hotel and it will not be our last. (Already booked for next year!). All the staff are friendly and very helpful especially the maids who always said hello and kept the place spotless. There is plenty of choice for breakfast: - fruit, cold meats, pastries, cereals, yogurts, pancakes and a variety of cooked dishes, definitely something for everyone. The pool area is great but only opens at 08:00, we are early risers so always got a sun bed, and there always seemed to be sun beds available later in the day. The Blue bar by the pool serves food and drinks from 10:00- 18:00. The sun deck is a nice and peaceful area, perfect to relax and chill. The Hotel also has the a la carte Sal Restaurant which is amazing and became our most visited restaurant of our fortnight. Great location with lots of good restaurants, shops and the Forum Shopping Centre all within easy walking distance. A free courtesy bus into Funchal is provided, and drops off and picks up at the CR7 museum, which is well worth a visit or two. All in all, a great Hotel, great location, great staff and we would highly recommend. We will be back next June.

I can’t fault this lovely hotel. The rooms are spacious with very comfy beds. We had a fantastic sea view with a good sized balcony. The food is great whether you are at the breakfast or evening buffet or the Italian restaurant. The pool is fab with lots of beds that aren’t snatched early on. There is a sun deck/bar that has entertainment every night for a couple of hours. Staff are friendly and hard working. There are lots of shops, bars and restaurants nearby and the taxi to the city is only 9 Euro. Buses are frequent but busy and the hotel has a free shuttle bus at set times. This isn’t a particularly child friendly hotel which is why I chose it. It is really for families with older children or adults only. There are no children’s facilities.

This was a spur of the moment booking and like many others we found it to be a great choice. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We too were lucky to be given a sea view room which was spacious and very clean. On the sun deck every evening there was musical entertainment that helped make you feel chilled while you watched the passing water traffic as the sun went down. It was easy to get into the centre of Funchal from the hotel who even provided a complimentary bus daily but we took the yellow buses from outside the hotel which were very frequent and using the card with prepaid journeys bought in advance were very cheap. Lots of lovely restaurants close by to try and handy shops in and around Forum Madeira which was almost identical to Forum Algarve which we know well. I am sure we will return to Madeira and when we do, we hope to stay in this hotel again. Thank you for making it an very enjoyable experience.
