It was our 2nd stay here and we loved it! Madeira is a magnificant island and the weather is nice all year round. We loved the oceanic pool outside. The hotel has very good and well maintained infrastructures. The staff is very friendly and service impec. We will definitely return!

We spent a week in one of the Beachclub timeshare apartments at this resort - the views were magnificent and we had a very relaxing stay. The staff were friendly, efficient and hard working

This is an excellent, well run hotel with helpful staff. There are 2 outdoor and 1 inddor pool with a health suite and a recreation room with table tennis and pool etc. Our room faced the road and mountains and was north facing but was quiet and cool. It is only worth paying extra for a sea view if you like to spend time on your balcony in the sun as the sea views are generally south facing. There are plenty of terraces to sit and watch the sea and the ships coming in and out of the harbour.

It is an easy walk into town but we bought a weeks ticket for the local bus so that we could get to the centre quickly and easily as, having spent 4 or 5 hours walking levadas we did not want that extra kilometer to walk when we got back to Funchal. We discovered that you can buy books of 10 tickets from near the bus station as well.

I would have given this hotel a 5 but for their trying to sell timeshare in another of the company's new developments. This was not persistant but although short lived, extremely irritating

This hotel is nera the town althogh you have to be a bit fit to manage the hill, however you can use the bus. Very relaxing atmospher and helpful staff. Tidy and clean. We went B&B as it suited us. Breakfast is a bit repitative but enough. Excursions are more expensive from outside but it is important to stick with them if you are new and elderly. Eating out side is more expensive especially if you have a family. We have attended their 90 minutes holiday options offer where they told us about joing this scheme and its advantages such as buying cheap holidays over the next 5 years (£3500) or 10 years(4.999).We joined the 5 years option for a price of £3500. Then after we signed up we discovered that we would not get the same facilities as the 10 yrs one? . We could not change our mind as we both got tired and wanted to leave. Stay away from it whatever the temptations .I am sure they will read this review and would not be happy.
The travelling agent Atlantic is very good and helpful and will use them again in the future
