Breakfast was ok, got quite busy at times, usual fare but done well. Bacon and omelettes cooked to order but always a queue. Bottles of cava some days. Overall pretty decent. The outside pools were very nice, with great views 270 degrees out to sea. Pools were all very clean. Bubble jets in the pools were a nice touch. Outside pools were salt water but the spa pool was chlorine. Evening food was a but hit and miss. Madeiran night was very good with huge amounts of fresh seafood, the vegetarian night however was pretty poor. Moroccan restaurant was ok, nice enough food but a bit dark and dingy. The Mira Mar restaurant at the sister hotel was very good with a lovely setting in a garden courtyard. Hotel gardens were incredible, and impeccably manicured. There is a children's play area which may be new as it doesn't feature on any photos on the website, just a small slide and swings and playhouse but enough to keep the kids occupied whilst you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the gardens at sunset. Great location, not in the middle of Funchal but still has the Forum shopping centre right nearby, plenty of restaurants and bars, the seafront promenade literally on your doorstep and Doca Do Cavacas swimming pools around the corner. Overall, a very nice hotel, lacking the finesse and luxury of an actual 5 star but nothing to complain about and good for families.
Lacking some of the finesse and luxury of an actual 5 star. Drinks were fairly expensive, 4.5Euro for a 750ml bottle of water at dinner was excessive. Booking the a la carte restaurants was nigh on impossible, arrived on Tuesday and they were all fully booked for the rest of the week. Kids menu at the a la carte restaurants was pretty poor and unimaginative (pizza and burger). Family room was a single room with big double, a sofa bed and trundle bed next to it. Would have preferred if this was made clearer at booking.

First room we booked online wasn't what we were expecting. Luckily we managed to upgrade to the master suite and this was something to remember. Fabulous views and very clean and comfortable beds.
First family room we stayed in. Pillow cases had brown marks around. Bed where two single beds next to each other and very uncomfortable mattresses.

I had a very beautiful room with amazing views of the ocean and garden. It was very convenient that from the backyard of the hotel there is access to a path along the ocean, where you can run or just walk. There is a beautiful beach nearby. Relaxing near the pool is also very convenient; next to it there is a garden and grass on which you can place your sun lounger overlooking the ocean. Excellent access 5 minutes walk to Forum shopping center.
At first they gave me a very strange room overlooking the backyard, the exit from the underground parking and the road on the ground floor, for some reason with a kitchen, and the room did not look like a guest room, but rather like a staff room. This was not what I booked. But at my request, they quickly changed my room and I was very pleased. I want to say thank you for that. The hotel is a little old and if they could renovate it soon, it would be great. But, it should be noted that only the public areas of the hotel look old, and the rooms are in excellent condition and very well equipped. The air conditioning also worked great.

Reception staff on check in and check out were efficient, welcoming and professional. Our room on fourth floor had magnificent ocean views. Our rate included breakfast and dinner. We spent four nights at the hotel. Breakfast each day was very good. Many varieties of food. Dinner on Wednesday and Saturday nights was not very good. A strange assortment of food. Not very nice at all. Very disappointing. You would need a hire car to stay here. The hotel is a distance from the Funchal city centre.
Dinner on Wednesday and Saturday nights. No ice machines. The quality of the bathroom linen was not good. Towels were very thin and needed to be thrown away. No face cloths provided

Good breakfast and dinner. Rooms were better than we expected with photos. Free parking. Very nice view from side sea type of rooms - straight to sunset side, so it doesn't make sense to pay extra for upgrade.
"Sea salt pool" was advertised but we were not able to find such. Drinks and even water is not included into the price for a dinner. As our departure was very early in the morning - we asked for a lunchbox instead of a breakfast. It was not so great to be honest. It is not to complain - but to meet the expectations it is good to know that this hotel is very popular by older audience.

Fantastic hotel - location, views over the ocean, spotless clean, good old style design, good buffet food. Special thanks to the cleaning staff - fantastic room cleaning and arrangements every day!!
Parking is paid - this is a bit frustrating give the price of the hotel.. suggest hotel to reconsider this. Reception staff quite unpolite, did not make me feel at ease.

Nice, large hotel with many facilities and very helpful staff. They helped us with car rental (and provided detailed information about the possibilities and answered all my questions) and canyoning. The surrounding is very nice, both within and outside of the hotel. The hotel is well located, nearby we found some nice places to eat out or even to do some shopping. We enjoyed the spa. Small, but but turkish bath (steam bath) is nice just like the jacuzzi. And here one can rest in pretty much silence. Loved it.
Although the food (both the breakfast and the dinner) is good and there are many many options, we found it very boring after 3-4 days. The day by day variation is low and we really missed some sauces, spreads etc. In other similar (even lower rated) hotels we found more variety from day to day. Also, in a 5 star hotel I would expect a proper table tennis set if there's a table tennis table. But here we found only low quality bats and even lower uality balls. One of the bath towels was torn, which again should not happen in a 5 star hotel.

The staff were wonderful and went out of their way to make sure our experience was well-cared for. I'm currently 5 months pregnant and they made sure I had an extra pillow in the bedroom and facilitated the spa treatment for me. One particular member, Braulo, was especially attentive and friendly, always taking care of our needs, remembering our orders and got me a fresh decaf coffee so I didn't have to use the machine! (Little things ha!) The facilities were great; the pool was clean and the pool staff were exceptionally attentive with care around the pool and providing parasols and location of them for optimum shade. There was a room to play pool, T.V, entertainment in the evening, the gardens were lovely to walk round and easy, secure access down onto the promenade was great! The room was clean and tidied every day, the shower worked very well, and the balcony was nice to sit out on. The food was excellent! There was an extensive range of options for breakfast and dinner (we were half board), and 3 other restaurants to book in as part of the cost. Beware of the divine dessert, ha! Make sure to ask for bacon at breakfast, as this wasn't clear, and we missed out for a few days.
I will have to be nitpicky to highlight areas that we "didn't like," as it was mostly great! The rooms were lovely however, ours could have had more of a thorough polish/dust before we checked in. For me, I would have preferred to have the same filtered decaf coffee as normal filtered coffee, rather than using the machine. There was one occasion were we queried if our no-alcohol shandy was in fact that, as it tasted different, and the restaurant manager kind of fobbed us off. He could have been more attentive and offered more lemonade, etc.

It is nice 4* hotel. Staff tends to keep everything clean and well working. Everything is as advertised. Location is great. Range of services is just about right. Wednesday dinners with grill are delight! Other meals are just fine as well.
The hotel is dated. Service is dated as well. But! It is actually good news that they managed to keep it is as such a clean and good shape for quite a long time. You only have to count with that when booking. So do not expect state of the art hotel. Expect a very well maintained and managed old style hotel (including food choice etc.)

Breakfast was OK for this kind of big hotel, but not overwhelming !
The coffee quality unfortunately was the worst ever! Only at the pool bar you could get a good coffee … and pay for it of course! Food quality at dinners was poor, the same for Sylvester dinner, although good wine was served! Location of the hotel is far out from Funchal, nothing nice to discover in direct walking distance! In pool and spa areas, many places of water infiltration, damaged walls and mold. The sauna was cold, as well as the jacuzzi!
