Lovely Hotel for relaxing stay

We have stayed in this hotel 6 times now. Great location with easy walk into Funchal and plenty of bars and restaurants around it. The staff are friendly and helpful. As it is a suites Hotel there is a spacious sitting room and bedroom with plenty of storage space. Rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. There are a couple of bars onsite with live entertainment some nights, also a pool bar at daytime. The 2 pools are well kept with comfortable loungers and towels provided. We only do bed and breakfast but there are all inclusive options, breakfast has a great selection from full cooked to continental and pastries. Good value and nice atmosphere.

Great relaxing holiday and good food

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Hotel Girassol. From the moment I arrived the reception staff were friendly and helpful. My room was spotless and inviting. The food from breakfast through to dinner was excellent. The vegetable lasagne was outstanding. The chef was always available to have a chat, and advising on red wine. Pool towels were always available. Lunch was buffet by the pool with good seating staff were friendly and helpful. All in all a good hotel with friendly helpful staff Looking to book next year, unfortunately the Superior Suites have all been booked, still I believe the Junior Suite will be just as good

Returning customer

My 6th year staying at Hotel Girassol. I always get a warm welcome at reception. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The food is of a very high standard. The hotel is well located for Funchal , public transport shops and restaurants all close. As a solo traveller I do tend to return to my room early in the evening so appreciate a TV with English channels, this has always been provided and very much appreciated. All the staff , dining room , bar, pool, reception and room are all very friendly and helpful. 2 pools 1 heated and plenty of sun beds. I will be returning next year God willing.

Lovely Hotel - recommend

Still here ( 05 - 07 /12 - 07 in room 410 ) All Inclusive. A very good hotel. Rooms are spacious & clean. Room 410 is a suite. Coffee / tea making facilities. Good sized fridge. TV / radio. Room cleaned daily and towels changed whenever you like. Restaurant is large with good seating & tables. The food is delicious & there is always a very good choice. There are a number of pools which are spotlessly clean. 1 is adults only which is nice. The garden areas are well kept & pleasent to sit in. The bars are good & no queuing. The drinks are good. The hotel is well situated with plenty of eateries & bars to go to. The staff are very friendly & helpful. I would recommend this hotel without a doubt. Well done Hotel Girassol 😁👍🏻
