The staff, especially Olena, went above and beyond to make my stay unforgettable. Although I hadn’t booked my tour in advance, she managed to arrange a car with a very knowledgeable driver for the entire day. Francisco from the restaurant was also incredibly helpful and kind. The massage was amazing,and last but not least,the manager was so welcoming and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best time possible. The property is situated 20 minutes from downtown, offering a serene and peaceful environment. While this may pose a challenge for guests without a car, taxis are readily available at all hours.

    Very sweet, clean village with friendly people (but not in-your-face). Lots of bars and restaurants, reasonably priced. Lovely wine, good food and some nice boutiques too. Easy to get to Funchal on buses and there are also plenty of taxis. Its minutes from the airport and planes fly very low overhead but it is spectacular to see without being too noisy. Loved it.

    Very good service by everybody, even the manager helped me get my car out, the breakfast staff did food for my special needs, the reception were very welcoming, it was clean & modern & I liked the mint water & that the hotel has a private garage. Very good standard close to the airport & the small town center. Only minus was that I'd wished for a heated jacuzzi .-)

    It's very close to Santa Cruz city center, 5 min walk and 25 min walk to the airport or 15 min by car to Funchal. The staff was helpful and friendly, the breakfast was enough and various. The room which we get was comfortable and silent even if it is close to the airport. The pool was clean and the view gorgeous. Furniture is like any other hotel. Big plus for the air conditioning. Quality-price very good. We did not miss Funchal, Santa Cruz is not so crowdy and it's more clean. Free parking place on the street.

    The hotel stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The daily shuttle into Funchal and back to the hotel was well organised and convenient as it is a 30 mins drive and would otherwise be an expensive taxi! Hotel is less than 5 mins drive from the airport (with a taxi via Bolt only costing €4). Good location, nice local town with restaurants and felt safe to walk about in the evening.
