The hotel offers rooms with a lovely balcony where you can enjoy the late afternoon sun. The adjoining balcony with a gate gives a cozy feel almost like in a bar. The wide selection of room options caters to various preferences. The service at the hotel is exceptional, making you feel welcome from Reception to the restaurants and bars, even during the night shift. The location is convenient, within about 25 minutes from the airport and in a nice area with plenty to do. However, being some 34 km from Funchal downtown might be a drawback for those looking to be closer to the city center. The dining experience, particularly with fresh fish dishes, adds a delightful touch to the stay. Overall, a pleasant experience with great service and beautiful surroundings, but some may find the distance from the city a bit inconvenient.
