    You do need to take the car or bus to get anywhere. The street isn't easily walkable.

    Idyllic, not too busy, clean, comfortable , plenty of parking space and bus stop in front of the hotel.

    The continental breakfast was nothing special, and the service during breakfast was not great either. The hotel in general was a bit old fashioned. I was expecting something better for the price.

    Very clean. Great location (even if the street was sometimes noisy) and amazing view over Funchal and on the ocean. Spacious room. Nice outdoor swimming pool with amazing view.

    There is no coffe tea station in the room and this is what we didn't like,

    Excellent view, not Close to the centre of Funchal which for us was a bonus,

    no way could you walk to and from the hotel as there were no foot paths and it was a winding road halfway up a mountain.

    Unable to walk into Funchal as the road was too narrow and busy.

    Lovely views over the Atlantic, Funchal and the sea port. Very good bus service. Excellent staff.

    shower leaked, so mopping up reasonable amounts of water each day - impossible to stop it. bar wasn’t open and public areas lacked atmosphere at this time of year (early March). Quite a long walk to get to a restaurant or bar. outside of the hotel, area is rather scruffy

    Great views, very clean property, good facilities, very comfortable bedroom and well equipped bathroom. bus stop right outside.

    The only very small thing that let it down for me were no tea/ coffee making and no iron in the room (although the staff did iron an outfit for us when we asked for an iron, amazing!). I also hate plastic waste so please use a more sustainable shampoo/ body wash option & change to permanent glasses in the bathroom. Coffee and juice at breakfast could be better.

    The amazing views is of course something that has to be mentioned and cannot be missed, beautiful sunrise and sunsets and views across the bay, the lights of an evening at Christmas are stunning. The staff, all of them, area fabulous, nothing is a trouble. The food in the restaurant is also some of the best in Madeira, some say a little pricy but for us coming from the Uk the prices were average and not more than we expect. The rooftop pool and bar areas are a must see and if you care to walk you can quickly climb up hidden staircases outside the hotel and be over 1000ft above sea level, looking down on the world. This hotel is somewhere to completely unwind and decompress. There is a free shuttle bus down to the town which is very handy as you would not want to walk it, even for me this would be a push to do both ways. Food tip: if you like prawns - the garlic prawns with a bolo do caco is a must have, the portion sizes are generous for everything so sharing is a good option.

    - air conditioning was not working - the heating didn’t work at all and the room was rather cold - the water wasn’t warm enough - it took longer than 10 minutes for the water to reach at least body temperature but in combination with the cold room it was really uncomfortable to take a shower

    location, furniture, bathroom everything was very clean friendly staff amazing view

    No beach (walking distance) but the pool & the view makes it all perfect again!

    It’s 15 min away from airport, machico beach, and Formosa beach, 7min from Funchal town. U can get anywhere quick. Wonderful sea view on balcony. Just no coffee in room but u can bring it up at 7am enjoy the cup of coffee before going down for breakfast. Awsome friendly staff. The restaurant is a bit of a waiting time but absolutely worth it!!! Make sure to get the Taxiin local app. Cheap easy quick taxi rides so u don’t spend time on bus with too much people in these times of Covid. Relaxing & peaceful stay.
