WOW,stayed here from 9th-16th Oct 2020,ABSOLUTELY SUPERB,the Covid safety measures are above and beyond,SOOO SAFE, We stayed in a sea view room which was STUNNING,well worth the upgrade, LOVED,LOVED,LOVED this hotel,can’t wait to go back,bright,light,modern hotel,comfy beds and pillows. AN ABSOLUTE treasure staff member is Lennie in the breakfast restaurant and poolside bar,he goes above and beyond and really loves his job and people,Melissa you are lucky to have him. Carla on reception is always jolly and has a smile on her face and always super welcoming. 6pm airport pick up and hotel extended our hotel room until then which allowed us another day at the pool and travel prep. Thank you sooo much for a very memorable stay. Very kind regards Mrs Allison Spink

I stayed in this property for twenty three days. The location is well located in the lido area of Funchal and is an easy walk to many restaurants, shops including a supermarket and a number or tourist attractions and tot offices.The property is presented in a standard modern style and first impressions are good . Check in is very efficient and extremely friendly ,and automatically makes you feel that you have chosen well. Baggage handling is speedy and self parking is convenient in the hotels secure underground car park.The room (206) is a sea view and is very spacious and reflects the modern style of the hotel .The bathroom is of a similar standard with both tub with hand shower and a separate rain shower cubicle as well as his and her basins .Facilities in the room are more than adequate with excellent connectivity, ample storage efficient A/c good towels and linen and excellent water pressure toiletries are of the pump action variety which detracts from the five star standard additionally some standard items are missing from the room due to COVID 19 restrictions but are provided on request. Sleep quality is good but as is common in Portugal the bed is actually two large singles which are joined together on request making an emperor style double the join is completely unnoticeable when laying on the bed. Housekeeping is as expected and the room and general areas are very clean and compliance with COVID 19 restrictions is maintained at all times There is a complimentary breakfast which Is fairly comprehensive initially service was chef service only but a few days in to my stay this was changed to gloved and masked guest service via a one way system quantity quality and variety was of a good standard in my case I keep a kosher diet and the chefs kindly prepared for me items that were not generally available.Externally there is a beautifully maintained pool with ample loungers and reasonable gym with a combination of up to date technogym equipment and some slightly older startrac machines as well as a good range of free weights . I spend up to nine months of the year travelling across the world and am fortunate enough to have stayed in some of the best five star hotels available this property is at the lower end of the five star category but the staff are are definitely at the the high end , there are always people who stand out and for me they were Angelo demand and Lenin in the restaurant Hugo at the pool and all the reception in short this is a friendly well run hotel which offers great value for money and I would return if in Madeira.
