We arrived by coach transfer from airport,roughly,50 minutes,twisting and turning,the accent to this hotel,Yes Maderia is up and down,but that can easily be overcome,if you are not up to it,This hotel has a day time,very well organised courtesy mini bus,at set times,it will drop you off in Funchal,and at same point ,pick you up.
We used this each day by prebooking at reception ,night before,its all Free.
After 6pm we got a bus,number 45 back at 2 euros each,or taxi,at 10 euros for 4 people,no waiting with taxis everywhere.
So the reception is professionally set up,efficient,polite and extremelly helpfull,not found this any where else,on this scale.
The rooms ,2,had sea view balconies,with the whole of funchal across the harbour,end to end in sight,with fantastic views of mountains in the back ground and the chairlift,rideing above the central highway bridge.,not chair life is being seasonally serviced till April,so get bus .
Rooms had it all,kettle,and all accesories,big tv,lined curtains,comfy beds,nice sheets,spotless housekeeping,walk in shower.,heating,soft towels.
We all had b/b,good selection,all a bit different for english breakfasts,but easily adaptable,more continental,and plenty of it.
After being out all day,we hurried back for the happy hour,as alcoholic drinks were nearly half price and cocktails,Lovely.
We tried the evening Buffet ,but at 32 euros each,it was expense,and very Bland,compared with fresh served meals in the multitude of resteraunts in town,which like for like far cheaper.
Although,as a treat the Ala Carte resteraunt,under the pool was extra special,But usually quiet ,and it had No ambiance,.
We all agreed,it was a Hotel to reccomend,and especially ,all the staff,who made our hard earned holiday EXTRA special.
