"Lovely stay here. Very clean and modern. Kitchen facilities are excellent. We had a lovely meal at the Restaurante snack bar Faisca at very reasonable price too. We enjoyed our stay. "
"A great apartment on the edge of the old town. Fab views of the sea and of the local area - great for people watching.
Good size living / kitchen area with well appointed cooking area.
Full sized fridge freezer which is always a bonus.
Bedroom at the back with a small rooflight window - no aircon - but a decent fan in both areas.
Walk in bathroom/ shower was without a window and limited mechanical extraction - so had a v damp smell - a design fault - but had to keep that door closed.
But the...

"The hotel was not well maintained. The staff was rude. The towels wild and torn. Bedding was not clean and there was no air conditioning or fans. I will not return."
"A very nice place to stay as a base whilst visiting around the beautiful island. Its not far from Funchal by BOLT taxi service and close to airport too, so not difficult to travel to the main centre."
"Overall a good stay, property is in a quiet area. Not much to do in Santa Cruz which is nice. I did the half board option and honestly would skip it next time. The food was basic cafeteria food, par at best. "

"Great location in Funchal!
Perfect walking distance to everything — especially convenient after a long day of hiking and sightseeing when you want to just wander for dinner.
The rooftop pool was stunning, with plenty of loungers to choose from. Such a relaxing spot to unwind.
They also host nightly performers, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The entertainment felt top-notch (definitely not cheesy), and I loved it!
The daily breakfast buffet on the terrace was a wonderful touch — a great way to start the day.
✨ Highly recommend!"

10/10 Excellent
"Loved it, room was gorgeous, staff very very friendly and helpful and all spoke excellent English. Breakfast was good, pool areas were great. Access to the sea is about a 5min walk and through a neighbouring hotel, Funchal town center is about. 25min walk away. Plenty of restaurants are nearby however.
One of the most comfortable hotels I've ever stayed at, would happily revisit"
"Incredible hotel! The staff is amazing. So friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The grounds, rooms, and views are stunning. The sea pool is beyond and the diving boards are so much fun. We brought our 8 month old and they provided a crib, stuffed animal, and adorable backpack. The staff was also very sweet with the baby and offered a high chair at every meal. We also really enjoyed the thoughtful nightly gifts during turndown service. Spa also very nice.
Would highly recommend. Close to the airport. Incredible experience. "
