The stay was great the food a disappointment, however, the staff was awesome.
The staff was excellent. The rooms were spotless, and the views spectacular.
The buffet(s) were fair at BEST..... I would stick to the alacart restaurants.

Beautiful Maderian Stay
The staff were wonderful and went out of their way to make sure our experience was well-cared for. I'm currently 5 months pregnant and they made sure I had an extra pillow in the bedroom and facilitated the spa treatment for me. One particular member, Braulo, was especially attentive and friendly, always taking care of our needs, remembering our orders and got me a fresh decaf coffee so I didn't have to use the machine! (Little things ha!) The facilities were great; the pool was clean and the pool staff were exceptionally attentive with care around the pool and providing parasols and location of them for optimum shade. There was a room to play pool, T.V, entertainment in the evening, the gardens were lovely to walk round and easy, secure access down onto the promenade was great! The room was clean and tidied every day, the shower worked very well, and the balcony was nice to sit out on. The food was excellent! There was an extensive range of options for breakfast and dinner (we were half board), and 3 other restaurants to book in as part of the cost. Beware of the divine dessert, ha! Make sure to ask for bacon at breakfast, as this wasn't clear, and we missed out for a few days.
I will have to be nitpicky to highlight areas that we "didn't like," as it was mostly great! The rooms were lovely however, ours could have had more of a thorough polish/dust before we checked in. For me, I would have preferred to have the same filtered decaf coffee as normal filtered coffee, rather than using the machine. There was one occasion were we queried if our no-alcohol shandy was in fact that, as it tasted different, and the restaurant manager kind of fobbed us off. He could have been more attentive and offered more lemonade, etc.

Had a good stay
Good selection for breakfast, good size room, didn't use the pool. As we checked in late and missed the evening meal, we were offered a voucher to use for lunch.
The extra bed was not put in our room on arrival. No iron in room, had to ask reception and was only allowed to use it for one hour. A little bit away from the main attractions.

older hotel optimal for pensioners -overpriced
quiet location, optimal for pensioners
a bit outdated design, cracking in the piping system every 2-3 hours probably due to the age-very noisy, low quality meal for breakfast and especially for dinners-we tried the dinner twice in the hotel but it was so bad that we decided for the next 7 days other restaurants, not professional cleaning staff(cleaning lady was moving my private things from one room to the next, reorganising private things in the bathroom, etc). be aware that the suits are also in lower floors, even the offers looks like the suits are in the top floor.

Lovely hotel towards the end of the promenade.
Room side. Had an issue and it was dealt with marvellously. Beyond expectation.
As previously mentioned to front desk - some issues in the room and slow service in buffet restaurant.

A lovely week in the sun, staying at a beautiful hotel, situated outside Funchal.
Sea view from room balcony and overlooking swimming pool and gardens was beautiful. Great place to sit and read a book or have a drink and relax. I liked that the hotel had three different restuarants to eat in if you booked ahead instead of the buffet each night. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
The food in the buffet could have been laid out much better with things like bread/rolls and butter being near each other. Or fruit being all in one place. Also clearer labels on the food would help those on special diets or with allergies find things they could eat quicker. Unable to get decaffinated coffee at breakfast or with evening meal ?why The self service buffet became a bit caotic when busy with no obvious direction of flow and a bit of a free for all. Accidents with hot food were narrowly missed on occasions. The food choice when you found it was good and plentiful.

Very good
Great staff, everyone was very helpful. Very clean rooms, the cleaning staff did an excellent job every day.
The restaurant was very crowded, the space where the buffet is prepared is not suitable for so many guests. A long wait for ordered drinks. We booked a "family room" with 4 beds (1 double and 2 single) and basically it were two extra beds squeezed into a normal room - there was literally like 30 cm place to get to the balcony.
