We had an absolutely outstanding stay! Our room had the most outstanding view of the bay and the staff were always extremely polite, kind and professional. The ocean and pool area was very stunning and there was always a chair available. The restaurants were second to none and the spa was very relaxing. The excursions suggested by the hotel made our visit magical! We will certainly return.

We were upgraded to an upper floor with funchal bay view. Excellent views from the room and great service from staff! Breakfast had a wide spread and was good. Take note that there are opening hours for the sea access level. The only downside was the rooms a little dated.
