Hidden gem
This hotel is a hidden gem in Madeira. We had passes this hotel many times during our multiple trips to the island. An opportunity arose on jet2 webb site and we booked for one week. We were delighted with our choice. From the front staff,hospitality at its highest. Nothing was too much bother. Food was delicious,drinks were plentiful and the extra bonus was the 2 libraries. Thank you for a lovely stress free holiday and we hope to return soon
Great hotel, great location will be returning.
We’ve had an absolutely lovely time at this hotel. We have no complaints. It’s in a fantastic location, quiet peaceful area. Our room was a good size and it was cleaned everyday. No complaints with the food, always a decent amount of options and always enjoyable. The staff were great especially the pool/bar staff and the dinner staff. We found the night time manager to be a lot more approachable than the day time. However it the effort made to get everyone on the roof for the fireworks was really nice. We will definitely be returning and are already looking forward to coming back. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Excellent Hospitality
This hotel was ideally situated for us. Locally, we walked everywhere and had no need to use public transport. We received a warm welcome and all the staff we encountered were polite and friendly. Our suite was clean, comfortable and spacious. We were particularly impressed that we had a room at the front of the hotel on one of the higher floors. We really enjoyed relaxing and taking in the views from our balcony. The breakfasts provided were plentiful and there was plenty of choice. We weren’t disappointed by any of the choices we made. Breakfast items were replenished promptly and the buffet areas kept clean and tidy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend a stay at this hotel. The only negative issue would be that the bathroom would be better if it was upgraded to just a shower cubicle instead of a shower over a bath. This, however, didn’t impact on our stay but is a personal preference.

Comfortable hotel in a great location
Nice enough hotel which was perfect for our requirements, and a great location. Rooms were clean and comfortable although the carpet in the corridors outside the rooms were old and stained. We found it a bit odd when we checked in after flying in, and wanted to find somewhere nice for lunch that the lady on reception told us there are no good places to eat in Funchal and it was recommended that we head into another town. Every meal out we had in Funchal was great, so we found this a bit strange and unhelpful!

Lovely Hotel - recommend
Still here ( 05 - 07 /12 - 07 in room 410 ) All Inclusive. A very good hotel. Rooms are spacious & clean. Room 410 is a suite. Coffee / tea making facilities. Good sized fridge. TV / radio. Room cleaned daily and towels changed whenever you like. Restaurant is large with good seating & tables. The food is delicious & there is always a very good choice. There are a number of pools which are spotlessly clean. 1 is adults only which is nice. The garden areas are well kept & pleasent to sit in. The bars are good & no queuing. The drinks are good. The hotel is well situated with plenty of eateries & bars to go to. The staff are very friendly & helpful. I would recommend this hotel without a doubt. Well done Hotel Girassol 😁👍🏻
