“The property has spacious apartments suited for families or groups and heated indoor pool with a removable roof; it is a family-friendly resort with multiple pools and leisure activities, and it is close to Garajau Beach and marine nature reserve. However, some aspects, such as outdated rooms and noise issues, detract from the experience. This might not be the best value, in my opinion.”

adequate stay overall

convenient locationhelpful staffbreakfast optionsuncomfortable bedsdirty wallsdated decor
the location proved convenient, with access to nearby points of interest. the reception staff was helpful, providing assistance with directions and local information. breakfast offered plenty of options, with a wide array of choices to start the day.
the beds were rather uncomfortable with low quality linen provided. the walls showed signs of dirt, needing a serious clean. the hotel clearly needs an upgrade, as many areas look quite dated.

The rooms were clean. I liked that the gardens were well decorated and surrounded the hotel. The breakfast had some variation in its offerings. The breakfast pastries were REALLY good.
I stayed in a room where I could hear everything from the next room. The noise made it hard to sleep. There was no WiFi in the rooms, only in the lobby. That was disappointing.

The staff helped book a trip to see the island. Breakfast had plenty of food. The bus stop is across the road providing easy transport to Funchal.
The room did not have WiFi access. I had to go to the lobby to use the internet. There were no outlets near the bed to charge my phone.

the garden view from the room was okay i guess.
the breakfast lacked variety and the taste was not good either. the room seemed pretty dated and the kitchen unit felt strange. the bathroom door nearly whacked my legs when i sat on the toilet, so that wasn't ideal.
