Hotel part of a complex of 3 hotels: the positive points: 3 swimming pools available, bar open till late and mostly all rooms with balcony. Negative points: location (a little bit outside the Marina and steepy road to go back to the hotel by foot) and clients mostly over 65 old (well I was there end of September, so maybe... More

We have just returned from a stay at the Mimosa and enjoyed our time there. As other reviews have pointed out the food does leave something to be desired (from my wife's point of view, and that of at least one other guest, that something was potatoes!) but it is broadly OK and the service is very friendly. Our room... More

Although the hotel gets some bad reviews we have used it many times and feel it is very good value for money. We chose the hotel because we like the location with its views towards Funchal, the friendly and helpful staff and the clean and comfortable rooms. We stay in the 3 star apartments on a bed and breakfast basis.... More

The food was superb, the staff extremely friendly and helpful, the bedrooms and other areas very clean. We only stay in three star hotels... More

From arrival to... More

It's Portuguese so if you're looking for hamburgers and chips with every thing you will not enjoy it. Most guests we met were very happy with this hotel, the few that we're unhappy had... More

The study has kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, kitchen utensils for a simple meal. From the balcony has a fantastic view, at night is beautiful. Good price / quality ratio. I hope to... More

Got this hotel as part of a Tjareborg 'week trip' - found it to be excellent - well appointed room - staff friendly and helpful - breakfast certainly ok re rolls, cheese, fruit, cereals (the hot stuff was forgettable - raw bacon, etc.) - so-called coffee was from outer space - go for the tea! One caution - you get... More
