Die Lage ist sehr schön.

Die Parkplatz für unser Autos war eine Zumutung. Die Außenanlagen müssten mehr gepflegt werden.

There should be warning on this hotel that you need 6 approx 110 steps and steep slope to get to the pool, beach and prom. Nice pool and plenty of sun beds. Rooms are clean and a decent size. Large bed but far too hard, had to sleep on top of duvet. TV too small to see from bed. No dressing table stool or small table. Rubbish hairdryer Had, a strong coiled up lead may be ok if you are left handed and stand right up to the wall. Breakfast same each day and 40 euros if you want the evening buffet which seemed expensive compared with other places. No atmosphere to bar more like cafe needs breaking up into areas with plants etc, no stage, basic entertainment. Good if you book free mini bus into Funchal runs 4 times a day or you can get bus for 2 euros. Lovely fishing village approx 30 minute walk. Has lovely restaurants. We went a few times. Or approx 1 hour to walk to edge of Funchal.

Proximidade à praia

Estivemos 4 noites em São Vicente noutro alojamento e a ultima noite ficamos neste hotel para estarmos mais proximos do Funchal. So tenho a dizer que deveriamos ter ficado as noites todas no outro alojamento... Nao tivemos possibilidade de deixar o carro estacionado dentro do recinto do hotel, tivemos que estacionar na estrada que é bastante movimentada. No geral nao correspondeu de todo as expectativas e muito menos ao valor pago.
