We recently stayed at the hotel and found the staff to be totally helpful and friendly. The interior is extremely clean and welcoming (the outside of the building is not very attractive); the location is great, in a good area and within a pleasant walk of the cathedral and the centre; I found the optional wifi very good value at...

My wife and I had stayed at this hotel about 5 years ago and I wanted to return with all of our family as it was my 60th birthday. We booked through Hotelsbooked, and we got a very good all inclusive deal. The hotel is very pleasant, if a little old fashioned, but I like that. Our rooms were on... More

We stayed at the Enotel Quinta do Sol for two weeks early in 2011 and for three weeks early this year. We found the hotel welcoming and comfortable and very good value, although we only took the bed and breakfast option. We will certainly be going back next year, our only decision is whether to take three weeks or four.

Stayed here 19 to 26 December 2011 as single person. Hotel well situated for getting to the centre of Funchal, one of the nearest, compared to most others. 15 mins easy walk or frequent buses across the road. I had bed and breakfast, which was buffet style and plenty to choose from, hot cooked food as well as yogurt, fruit,... More

We stayed on Boxing day into New Year. It's true it does need upgrading into a more modern theme, however we were told that starting in January they are refreshing the outside of the Hotel (this is a good thing). However if you are to go and stay I'd advise anyone to get a sea view/front of hotel room only.... More

We went via Page and Moy and the hotel was as we expected, drab outside but perfectly acceptable inside. Staff was friendly and efficient including restaurant staff but there was not enough of them. Our mistake was signing up for half board. The food was only just edible, drab and not much variety, there wasn't enough for the number of... More

We stayed here for 8 nights during October 2011. We booked through Thomas Cook and upgraded to the superior double room with sea view and balcony. The room was pleasant enough, but not what I would consider superior which was disappointing. My main annoyance was still getting a twin room, even having booked a double and emailing the hotel to...

As with many reviews, I agree about the dismal, drab concrete experior. My wife and I went first week October 2011. Once inside though the inreior is smart, very clean and with some friendly staff. Although we had asked for a garden view as supposedly rather noisy with sea view, we were given a sea view. I checked out the... More
