I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The staff was really friendly and made my experience enjoyable, and the location was perfect for exploring Funchal. However, the rooms could use some updates, as they seem to be the same as two years ago, and the breakfast options didn't really change, which was a bit monotonous. Still, it was good value for the money considering the service and the beautiful gardens around the property.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to great restaurants and the marina. The rooms were spacious and offered beautiful sea views, but they really need updating. The dining was quite chaotic at times, with shortages of basic items like cups and bread. Overall, while it has great potential, it could use some improvements in service and facilities.

Location

The location is absolutely fantastic! It’s close enough to walk to many restaurants, the promenade, and the port. Just keep in mind that everywhere in Madeira involves a bit of uphill walking.

Dining

Dining was challenging at times with too many guests, which led to running out of cups and bread. It felt a bit too crowded and certainly disturbed the quiet I was hoping for.
