On the basis of a strong endorsement we chose this hotel but it ended up a wee bit short of our expectation. It was good, with proper amenities and with a fantastic view over the ocean. Well accessible, even when using public transport. Near several interesting walks, and the start of a very challenging descent to Paúl do Mar -... More

This is an hotel in a rural territory. The most impressive thing in this hotel is the amazing connection with local nature but you better enjoy walking and trecking. It has an amazing mountain trail to Paúl do Mar, a small typical fishers village just under the cliff where the hotel is placed. But you'll have to walk about 1... More

We spent two days here having been moved from the hotel we should have been staying in (Calheta Beach, see my other review). Whilst we were really grateful that we were given shelter here, it wouldn't have been the hotel we would have chosen. It is based in a very small hamlet in the hills and seems to be the... More

I was visiting my freidns who were staying in this hotel, The location of the hotel is for people looking for peace and nature lovers fantastic: high above the sea with a gigantic view, calm and pure relaxation. We highly recommend due to the remote location on the west of the island a rental car. However there were also many... More

Service on the hotel is excellent, as well as food. Buffet is highly recommended. Location is beutiful and hotel provides free transportation almost daily to a location where it's easy to start a hike back to hotel. More

Great to stay in the West of the island. A very good alternative to Funchal giving you more of an idea of island life. Stayed at the same time as EagleDK in two of the studios in the main building and found them to be very well furnished and equipped and not in need of refurbishment. Soundproofing excellent, food great... More

Large hotel, mainly for mass tourism. Good location and friendly front desk staff but a somewhat impersonal place lacking atmosphere. We stayed in a T1 apartment which is large and with a good sea view but appears worn and definitely needs refurbishing and modernising. Equipment basic but ok. Pool and spa areas ok but proportions not convincing as the indoor... More

We stayed for four days at this stunning hotel and thought that this must be as near to nature that you can get. The food was fantastic, freshly prepared and I believe, locally sourced. The staff were excellent and the apartment was large and well equiped. We loved sitting on the balcony, sipping a glass of wine at sunset, overlooking... More
