Lovely hotel
Great hotel in a central location with good facilities and great food in the restaurant. Rooms are clean and spacious and staff are polite and attentive.
Fabulous hotel
Fabulous hotel central to everything, hotel staff really friendly and attentive especially Debora on reception who is so helpful, we stayed B&B and if you want to take buffet lunch it’s €20 which includes a drink and a tea/coffee lots of choice on buffet, hotel and pool areas spotless and we liked they have an adults only pool with such comfy loungers and free pool towels, beds really comfy and being a suite nice having a separate seating area and cleaning ladies came in every day, we had such a relaxing time in this hotel highly recommend and we will be back thanks for a lovely stay ☺️
Wonderful place to stay
What an amazing stay at this fantastic hotel. Everything about our visit was on the button. The pool area was great with enough sunbeds, brollies and space. The bar at the pool was manned fully with nothing being too much trouble for any of the staff. The all inclusive snacks were top drawer as were the toasties etc available to order. Meals in the main dining room were excellent, not the run of the mill, lots of choice but low standards type of kitchen. The chefs involved with the day to day running need a big pat on the back for keeping the standards high throughout mealtimes, as do the front of house staff keeping everything going throughout the meal.... The rooms were looked after very well once again with nothing being too much trouble. We will be back....
Great experience overall
My daughter and I had an amazing experience in Madeira. Stayed in this amazingly clean hotel, food was great, always plenty of choices. Real food, home style cooking- never tasted a bad dish- it was superb. Hotel staff was super welcoming, some went above and beyond for us. And for my usually grumpy teenager this was the first holiday she didnt want to go home from. She entertained the staff and guests with some of her piano playing skills- was overjoyed to find TWO grand pianos in the building. Location wise- super easy to get everywhere, excursion pick ups easy also. We had an amazing time at Girassol and if we ever go back to Madeira, which we probably will, as we fell in love with the place- Girassol will be a place to stay for us. Wholehearted thanks to everyone at the hotel for everything you do and best wishes from Jurgita and Isabella x
