I wanted to love this hotel. The position is hard to beat, minutes from Funchal old town, the marina and dozens of restaurants, with great views. Unfortunately almost everything else has let us down on what is a ten night family holiday. Noise is the worst of it. From 6am the doors along the corridor slam so hard it may as well be inside your room, and with thin walls you hear everything next door too. Forget a lie in. The bathroom has mould around the bath. The room and the hotel as a whole feel neglected, as though nothing has been updated in a decade, which for the rating and price is simply not good enough. Dinner at roughly €39 a head excluding drinks is expensive for buffet food when far better value restaurants are on the doorstep. The part that really disappointed me was the service. I raised all of this with guest services by email on day two and they were not interested. No solutions, no follow up, nothing. A hotel at this level should care when a guest flags genuine problems halfway through a long stay, and they clearly did not. Wonderful setting, but until the rooms are refurbished and the team actually engages with guests, I could not recommend it for the money.
We booked with Jet2 and had an early morning flight to Madeira only to find when we arrived at the hotel we could not access theroom until 3 pm. The room was fine but definitely not five star as on the board outside the main entrance jet to rated it a I would’ve said a 3 to be honest we had a very enjoyable stay. The only gripe we had was at a breakfast time from 9 am onwards the Sun shown through onto the cold meats and cheese section of the buffet. We did actually mention it to the staff and they said it was chilled from underneath but that did not keep the meat and cheese on top of the piles cool and they should’ve had a blind to pull down or simply moved away from the window. I know it sounds a bit picky but that’s how food poisoning starts.
Amazing cleaning first floor Hotel rooftop very good
Such mixed feelings. The staff at the pool areas including the bars and waiting staff were very helpful and cheerful, great customer service. The reception staff need some serious customer service training but it’s not enough to ruin our holiday as we didn’t have to interact with them much. Breakfast was excellent with huge choice and the pool areas, pool staff etc is fab. There is a lack of communication across the hotel and staff seem ill informed about what they are meant to do and should know. Thank you to the young man on reception who sorted an engineer to fix the noisy vent in our room immediately ( room 314) The other chap did nothing! Great location, if you walk out of the hotel and turn immediately left before you reach the main road there are many great restaurants down here. We would not return as the hotel needs a refurbishment of its rooms, however if you have already booked it’s not a disaster.
Well where do I start , I am still on holiday at this hotel . 5star it isn’t , rude staff and not enough staff , shower is non existent the hotel needs an upgrade , the prices of food and drink are high but I wouldn’t mind that if you got 5 star treatment . Second day room not being cleaned before 4pm , no free fill up in fridge as told , overall very dissatisfied and disappointed will not return . Look for another hotel .
