This was a reservation I’ve done for my parents and I heard nothing but good comments from them. Unfortunately, my father had an health issue during the stay and the staff was excellent. Called the doctor to come, ask all the time if my mother needed anything from their side. They were truly great on the support and for that I’m really appreciated. For the hotel, great spot, beautiful surroundings, quiet, clean, a very good breakfast ! For sure a name to save and a stay to repeat !

We hadden een geweldig verblijf in golden residence hotel Prachtige ligging aan zee met zicht op de bergen Onze kamer had zicht op het zwembad en op de zee. Het hotel ligt niet ver van het centrum en de bussen stoppen Voor de deur. Het is op wandelafstand van forum madeira, supermarkt en eetgelegenheden. Het personeel is vriendelijk maar mocht van mij net iets enthousiaster zijn. Op vakantie hou ik wel van wat extra enthousiasme

I loved it! I had a sea view and as expected the sunset was amazing from any angle of the hotel. I enjoyed the breakfast served here. The front desk staff were very professional & helpful. The location it's conveniently (15-minutes away from Funchal) if you decide not to rent a car since public transportation is reliable in the area, literally there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel.... Well recommended.
