Great location in the heart of Old Town. Super convenient. Very mixed experience with staff - some we just simply rude. Majority were unfriendly. It is also worth noting, we're in our mid 50's and we seemed to easily be the youngest guests there by a couple of decades! No disrespect intended but we literally felt we were staying in a senior care home. Adults only is great but this was on another level! The hotel is also very dated internally and they need to invest in bringing it in to C21st! We wouldnt stay again.

All well but heavy cigarette smoke and smell in the room from chimney neighbors. Looks like many Europeans are all chain smoker's! Staff apologized but the law is not in their favor - nor in favor of nonsmoking guests. At time we had to run the AC at full strength and keep the slider open. Other that - beautiful place, great service and great people!

Very mature clientele in this adult only property. Beautiful ocean front view from our room. Responsive front desk. Rooms were carpeted in main area. Breakfast buffet good selection with slight changes in offerings daily. Steps from the old town - more touristy area so depends what you like.

A great location. Spacious rooms. Disappointed that our seaview room had a wall instead of an iron balcony so could only see the sea if standing up. Should be sold as a partial seaview room and not charged at the full seaview rate. Lovely clean property.

All aspects of this hotel were fantastic from the friendly and accommodating staff in the restaurant, bar area , front desk and spa services. The hotel rooftop was excellent and enjoyed the special event of bubbles and sushi. The location was very convenient for walking to many attractions. Nice to have on site parking and the breakfast buffet that was exceptional. We enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend to others.

Superb hotel in a great location. Very clean bedrooms and all areas of the hotel. The breakfast was brilliant, with lots of choice. But the best thing to me are the staff, who are all VERY helpful and cheerful. You can have a lovely building, rooms, food etc, but if the staff aren't pleasant then it's not good. I have to say ALL the staff members i met were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. VERY LOVELY HOTEL.

Best position for Funchal old town.
Lovely hotel in the best position for the old town of Funchal and taking the cable car to the botanical gardens. Good breakfast & great views if you have booked a sea front room. Nice pool area with plenty of sun beds. We had hired a car so their secure parking for just €10/day was useful. Would stay here again.

short relaxing winter break
We really enjoyed out stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room had braille markings on the room safe however no tactile numbering on the door. The entertainment in the bar was live using an electric piano or other instruments so was a real change from people with a backing track which tends to be the easy way these days. the hotel is located near to local buses, the cable car, the farmer's market and lots of local restaurants. with so many guests flying in, to be more Eco friendly the hotel could have it's own electric vehicle rather than book individual taxis. especially when more then one customer is on the same flight. We'd definitely go back for these reasons and many others.
