+ Very reasonably priced, recently renovated, big rooms, clean, every room has sea view and sea itself is just across the street. – Water pressure was weak, and this is unfortunately big deal for me :)

Location, staff anf hotel itself are all fine, and even without a car you can take exciting bus trips to other parts of the island from the town or from stops 20 minutes walk away. But the buffet breakfasts and dinners are terrible: the worse I have come across anywhere: poor quality food kept lukewarm for hours on 'hotplates'. Even... More

Hotel that is a bit running down and needs to be renovated to upgrade to a 2012 standard. Price/quality (we paid €62/night) the level is acceptable, but appealing it is not (though clean!). We had a room with a door connecting the neighbouring room, and could hear everything what was said by our neighbours (fortunately the Germans went to bed... More

Stayed in november/december 2011 celebrating special birthday and had a wonderful time. As soon as we arrived we were delighted with the hotel and views.Hotel staff all very friendly,welcoming and helpful. Very attractive hotel built/restored in traditional style. Our room was very spacious and luxurious with lovely balcony. We were all inclusive and food was plentiful and good. Very good... More

The staff were very good, rooms good but not exceptional. Food was very disappointing to say the least. There were three themed restaurants. The Italian was so poor that I would have thrown it back in a restaurant. Japenese restaurant was uncomfortable with equally poor food. Maderian was reasonable. In the main restaurant the Buffet was plentiful, cold was good,... More

We stayed here for five nights as part of a Ramblers Holiday. The situation is lovely and all rooms face the beach. Our room was huge but there was very little space for storing clothes and as we were there for so long we wanted to unpack completely. Breakfast was actually very good but dinner seemed to lack imagination. There... More

This place hasn't quite got what it takes in spite of being (in theory) a 4 star hotel. It looks good with blonde wood floors and balconies in some rooms but lets itself down in multiple ways. Firstly, while there is a free computer in the lobby with a sporadic internet connection, there is no internet in the rooms and... More

We stayed for 7 nights. We got a very good deal which made the stay even more pleasant. Would recommend hire car if you are up for it - need to be a confident driver to navigate the bends and steep climbs across the island. The room was so spacious and everything very clean. We were all inclusive and, as... More

We booked this hotel at random, wanting to tour around Madeira, using the hotel as a base. The hotel was lovely, nestled in a valley of a small bay between two mountains. Room was spacious, clean and lovely, with balcony overlooking the sea. Food choice was very good-only complaint being that food temperature was consistently no-where near hot enough. Also... More
