Location, friendly and helpful staff
I hadn’t realised “Adults only” would mean it was full of senior Brits. Inside the hotel it mostly didn’t feel like being “abroad”. Funchal is interesting and lively though.

We booked a return trip for my husband's 40th birthday and couldn't fault this hotel again.
Friendly and very helpful staff, spotlessly clean throughout the whole hotel, and the location cannot be beaten.
Our room was a junior suite with a sea view and had two balconies with fabulous views. The air con worked wonders and cooled the whole room down. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space and the bathroom had everything you could need. Pool towels were supplied along with plenty of bathroom towels.
I cannot rate the breakfast highly enough – anything you could think of, they have it. You have a choice of eating inside, outside, or outside but under cover and it was such a lovely, peaceful area to start your day. They even have someone wondering round with a very large and beautiful bird of prey to make sure the pigeons don't bother you during your breakfast!
We had the indoor pool and jacuzzi to ourselves when we visited, and it was lovely and relaxing.
I never mentioned on booking the hotel that it was my husband's birthday but on that morning, a breakfast table was laid out especially for us. There was also a bottle of fizz in our room when we arrived back in the afternoon. Neither of us like wine so I left a nice note saying thank you very much, but we don't actually drink wine and the following day, a chocolate cake arrived! Very unexpected but it was such a lovely surprise! We had a very enjoyable evening sitting on the balcony listening to a fantastic guitar player and munching on an extremely delicious cake.
Overall, this hotel is one of the best we have ever stayed in, and it will be the only one we choose when we visit Funchal again. Thank you to all the staff for your thoughtfulness that made it so special!
Nothing!
