Hidden gem

It was a one day solo trip because the hotel was near the airport and offered a free shuttle when I got there. I was totally surprised by the service from the front desk. The wait staff and everybody there with a pleasant surprise Fabrício and Bernardo are especially helpful to me along with, Anna and Sarah what a wonderful stay there made

Our stay was nothing but exceptional - every little detail from the complimentary airport transfer, the amazing breakfast and dinner service, the lovely staff (every single one of them), the clean and spacious room to the fantastic facilities and the list goes on, made our trip to Madeira an unforgettable one. We will be 100% returning.

We had the most wonderful stay. Every member of the team here is truly exceptional at what they do — we were blown away by the warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail. With only 20 rooms, the hotel offers a much more personal and intimate experience, which made our stay feel even more special. The amenities are fantastic — we especially loved the natural pool and the tennis courts. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, including the housekeeping staff, for maintaining such a beautiful and welcoming environment. We truly hope to return one day!

En fin tvådagarsvistelse

Ett fantastiskt hotell. Mycket bra restaurang, otroliga rum, fina pooler, fantastisk personal. Visst, vid poolområdet längst upp vid hotellet, hördes flygplatsen och motorvägen. Men i restaurang, rum, vid de nedre poolerna, och på balkong, ovanligt lugnt och stilla.

Best hotel ever!!!

This is an amazing hotel. I would give it 12 out of 10 stars. If I could, the staff was beyond amazing they knew about my allergy before I even opened my mouth to say anything. Our servers were excellent. The food was excellent. The breakfast was excellent. The surrounding area is lovely and won’t get airport noise, even though you are a two minute drive from the airport. There is a heated pool and a lovely bar by the pool. The only thing that we have to say that was negative is we wish we could’ve stayed way longer.😃
