Very comfortable room and enjoyable breakfast
Just returned from a five day stay in early July 2026.
The room on the 10th floor was spacious and modern with a comfortable bed and quiet air conditioning. Complimentary water and prosecco on ice was a nice unexpected touch. The cleanliness of the room was excellent and the housekeeper did a great job servicing the room every day. The room was very quiet with a large balcony and side sea view overlooking the gardens of the adjacent hotel. Bathrobes, pool towels, fridge & safe (€15 charge) also provided. As I used mobile data, I am unable to comment on Wifi speed. The bathroom was an adequate size and modern with a large step in shower and good water pressure. I couldn’t fault the room, 10/10.
I ate breakfast when the restaurant opened at 7am. There was plenty of choice with a very good selection of bread, cheeses, meats, fruit and cakes. I am unable to comment on the cooked breakfast but I enjoyed a fresh omelette one day which was very nice. The juices could have been improved with a limited selection and poor quality from a machine. The restaurant was always quiet at 7am, much busier later on.
I only had interactions with the reception and the waiters / waitresses at breakfast. Some of the reception staff seemed unhappy in their job but generally the staff were pleasant and helpful. As mentioned in some of the previous reviews, the lifts were slow at times.
I am unable to comment on the other facilities (like the pool or spa) as I was exploring Madeira in the day. Hotel has a very good location in the lido with lots of restaurants, shops and supermarket close by. The walk to Funchal takes 45 minutes or you can catch the hotels complimentary bus, public bus or taxi. I had a very good stay but would stay in a different hotel next time for a change of scenery.

Lovely hotel
We stayed at this hotel in June had a fantastic time we were BB really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning to start the day . The hotel was lovely as were the staff we were very lucky and got an upgrade to a suite which was unbelievable on the 14th floor with a view to die for . Loved the position of the hotel as we could walk into Funchal plus there were plenty of good restaurants around the hotel. Would highly recommend this hotel

Not All Inclusive
Hotel is lovely and staff especially Razual ( waiter)were really good , however, this should NOT be classed as all inclusive . The food choices were very limited and cold - even when arriving at the start of service. All inclusive guests were treated by some staff with disdain and like second class guests - just not good enough. This was not a cheap option but felt like it was. Snacks by the pool ( very limited period) were the only saving grace. The pool was rather disappointing , always cold as it was positioned in the shade and small . The hotel is set up for bed & breakfast guests and should be marketed as such .
