Madeira Region Cheap Holidays

We have just had a 3 night stay at the Hotel and it was lovely. When we arrived the reception staff were very friendly and gave us a brief tour, when our room was ready we were again escorted there by a member of reception. The room was a great size with a small patio area overlooking the lush gardens. We had dinner in the restauarant on our first night, which was excellent, service was impeccable. We used the bar a couple of times, loving the idea that we got to choose our "Happy Hour", we also ate in the Bar on 2 occasions and again the food was excellent. Breakfast was very good with a great slection of food.The Hotel is very traditional and has a lot of character, we will hopefully return one day and would recommend to anyone who would like to be within 15 mins of the centre of Funchal but still stay in a "little oasis".

I had a fantastic stay. Only criticism was with the spa. The steam room wasn’t operational when I paid it a visit even though it was within the stated opening hours.

Comfortable room, good breakfast and in a great location

This is an ideal hotel for those seeking a quiet restful location away from the busy large hotel experience. The staff are amazing, and the tranquility of the gardens wonderful. The garden rooms are getting tired and need a refurbishment which apparently is happening in a few months time. The food at breakfast, lunch and dinner is exceptional, and the location of the hotel is ideal for walks either to the Port and center or away to the promenade, the lido and rock pools. A definite for those seeking a rest and happiness.

We had a good stay, the reception staff are very welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and there was plenty of spare towels, pillows etc. We went on half board basis. Although there was plenty of food, it lacked taste. Buffet menu needs to improve, especially the hot food for vegetarians. Very insipid. Also we felt cheated because we asked for tap water at dinner and got charged for it! The head waiter takes the order for drinks and we felt it was his duty to inform customers that they charge even for tap water! It is ironical that they give free prosecco and at breakfast, but charge for water at dinner!! Customers can make an informed decision about ordering water if the hotel can make them aware of their charges. Overall, the staff are hard working and try very hard to do their best. Not a bad place to stay but be prepared to pay for your water at dinner!
