Great Hotel
We stayed in two separate family rooms with a sea view. The hotel was fantastic. The staff were polite and helpful and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The location is a bit out of the main tourist areas and the nearest shop is a decent walk away, however the hotel offers a shuttle bus regularly into the centre which is a great idea. This needs to be booked in advance. The view from our room was amazing and even better at night when you can see all the lights on the hillside. The only negative was the room decor, I would say they need a refresh especially the bathroom however they are spotlessly clean and the maid service is great. The best part of the hotel is the buffet service at breakfast and dinner. The variety is really good and they change the menu every day for dinner. The restaurant staff work really hard and ensure that the tables are kept clean and tidy. A special mention to Sonia who was so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The omelettes at breakfast are brilliant! The evening entertainment was good and offered different musical styles to suit all tastes. The pool is lovely although a bit small, we never struggled to get a sun bed and the atmosphere was great. The food at the pool bar is good and the drinks are reasonably priced. We also used the squash courts a few times which was a nice change of pace.
We would have no hesitation in coming back to this great hotel. Thanks for a great holiday.
Lovely hotel
Great hotel possibly a little dated but that's the only negative. Lovely and clean, nice breakfast great facilities and friendly staff. Had a lovely view from the balcony. Free bus service was great. Lots of restaurants nearby and a nice sandy beach about 4km walk through the tunnel. Hope we get to stay again. Thank you for a lovely holiday.
Relaxed and comfortable stay
After staying in a very disappointing 5-star hotel in Malta, I found this hotel to be so much better. I felt relaxed at all times and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was big enough to have lots of facilities but not too big.
Our room had a great view over Funchal and a nice wee, private balcony to sit in. Eating breakfast outside every morning was lovely.
Many people say it is too far from the main town but we walked up and down every day. Yes, it is up hill on the way home but if you are fairly fit, it is not a long walk.

Fantastic hotel, lovely staff, great spot.
What a lovely hotel. Staff were so accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful. Pool was lovely and the pool bar relaxing. It was a great spot to be out of the way of the busy town centre and the shuttle buses to and from the centre were regular. Car hire from the hotel is really reasonable at 50 ish euros per day including all Insurances. Id bring a phone holder and 12v charger next time though as the car didnt have car play.
Booking the dolphin watching was great too. Magic dolphin tours was really good. We took the hotel recommendation and paid the extra 5 euros per head for the "celebrity" tour. It was a much smaller group size from 150 people down to 25 on a lovely catamaran. Saw a pod of 30 dolphins.
Uber is half the price of taxis and works fine out here.
Dont miss going to a restaurant called mad market. Its ina. Shopping centre which sounds wored, but we had the best meal of the holiday there. Its a 15 min walk from the hotel and 4 euro uber back.
Lovely stay, great hotel, brilliant staff. Thank you!

Outstanding staff
We very much enjoyed our stay here. The views are great, the beds are comfortable and the breakfast buffet has a wide range of choice. However, the reception staff were outstanding – it’s not often that you get excellent service with a sense of humour. They were really exceptional.
