The hotel itself is stunning, with luxurious amenities and a welcoming atmosphere. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional customer service personally provided to my family by Catarina. Her warmth, professionalism, and human attention, not just treated like a customer but a person, has consistently made my stays memorable. Always a warm smile to share! Whether it's ensuring that my accommodations are perfect or providing valuable recommendations for local attractions, Catarina's dedication to exceptional service is truly commendable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a delightful and memorable experience, ty for making Madeira extra wonderful Catarina!

It is important to say that this is not a 5 stars Hotel. The hotel is dated, and even the breakfast and dinner buffet are not 5 stars. - and that was disappointing.
However, the staff is 7 stars, to say the least. Hence, my 5 stars review.
They are all, really all, working nonstop to make sure your stay is perfect. Whatever you need, they will make it happen, and they will do it with the most friendly smile. For the staff that is incredible, the overall review is a solid 5 stars.
And a special thank you to the gentleman at the reception that at 2 in the morning when we arrived, almost had a heart attack thinking our son did not have a bed. 🙂
Not only did he have a bed, but we also had food waiting in the bedroom just in case we needed a snack. With all my heart! Thank you!

Just back from a superb week in this wonderful hotel. Everything was perfect. Room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. Food was plentiful and great choice. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent all round. We were a little disappointed, we were only able to book a specialist restaurant on one night, but will know another time to book as soon as we arrive. Yes we do mean to go again. Well-done all concerned.

Very nice hotel.
An extremely kind welcome. Everything is very clean. The cleaners are running around like bees. The outdoor area is well-kept, you can relax by the pool or sit on the lawn. Fantastic rest!
A great team will make you feel at home.
And special thanks to guest service manager Margarida Caldeira for her professional approach to solving wellness issues.

Enjoyed our stay here, the room was very clean, comfortable with a fantastic view from the balcony. Loved all 5 restaurants, prefer the buffet as so much choice with lovely food, wow the desert options were fantastic. Breakfast was really good too, very happy that there was a gluten free section and alternative milks. Staff very friendly especially Bralio, house keeping very thorough but great that if you didn't want to be disturbed you just hang the sign on the door. Really relaxing atmosphere, with jacuzzi, stream room, sauna and indoor/outdoor pools. Beautiful gardens with butterflies everywhere. Entertainment was good, something different every day. Walking distance to shops buses, beach and beach bars.
