What a lovely hotel. In a very quiet location but the perfect place for a chilled out relaxing holiday. Clean and modern with a touch of class! Branded drinks as well!! We stayed in room 534. The rooms were spacious and the bed was HUGE! Our only complaint with the room was a lack of drawers but otherwise there was a huge wardrobe with shelves. We did the 25 Fonts walk, this is NOT a mild and moderate walk as the guide books would have you believe, but we thoroughly enjoyed it. We used the taxis across the road to get there and back which is a cheaper way and totally reliable. A day in Funchal is a must. If you are going to do the basket toboggan please bear in mind that it’s cash payment only! We used the bus from the hotel to get to Funchal. Finally, massive praise goes to the reception staff!! So helpful and knowledgeable! We would definitely recommend!!! 👌

This beach of imported Moroccan sand is definitely worth a few hours of your time. The water is clear, and warm. We visited in late November and early December and enjoyed swimming in warm water in a safe harbour environment. You can see the silver fish you share the water with, and some amazing red crabs on the stones around the harbour. The only downside for me is that smokers continue to leave their cigarettes ends in the sand, rather than use the frequent rubbish bins. Perhaps this is different during high season? Small bars and Cafes meet whatever food you fancy. The toilet facilities are cleaned regularly and appear to be open from early morning to late at night. This beach is a “must-visit” on the list of things to do in Madeira.

One of the few sand beaches of Madeira, hence always crowded, especially with a beach hotel right next to it. However, the town has everything you need, some shops, restaurants, big supermarket, Marina, etc. It's perfect for an afternoon/evening swim if you're living in the area. Parking can be an issue. Parking garage is free of charge when combined with shopping (ticket will be payed by supermarket).

One of the only golden sand beach due to it being artificial. However provides a lovely safe place to swim in the sea, especially if you have youngsters. Beach is busy but has some great bars, shops etc near by. Nice place to swim or snorkel.
