The friendliest staff and amazing views helped make this one of our best holidays for a while. Had a change to our usual hotel at a recommendation from our travel agent. Very happy with the hotel. Wonderful welcome at reception with good explanation of the services available, how to access local transport and facilities. There is a shuttle bus service Monday - Friday which is a great asset. It’s a lovely walk from the hotel into central Funchal but in the heat it can be demanding so a one way trip using the hotel minibus made it easier. We opted to take the bus into town and walk back. There is an easy to use local bus in and out of Funchal and Camera de Lobos. Cheap and fast service- though we also walked to Camera de Lobos and back on one day which was a good way to work off lunch!! Currently the promenade walkway to CDL is closed but will be easy to get there on foot once reopened. Lots of cafe /restaurants along the walk to Funchal which give options for snacks and meals. Also a nice place at the top of the hill near the hotel, reception happy to book you a table. Breakfast options were very good, lovely fresh fruit and usual buffet options, can’t fault it. Price for renting safe key plus deposit so be prepared to pay for that, also deposit on credit card requested on arrival. ( cover for fridge/ minibar?) Lovely gardens on the walk down to the pool and beach. Staff in all areas very friendly and service is excellent. We enjoyed light lunch at the pool bar. Prices are competitive. We will definitely return here, loved sleeping with the sound of the sea each night. Thank you to all the team
