Really nice hotel! Felt a little like home away from home. Staff is very friendly and even brought us chocolates made on Madeira. Roof top pool and view is amazing!

We stayed in this hotel for 3 days in mid July. The hotel is wonderfully situated with views of the sea and/or the garden from many rooms and nice facilities. It's a very pretty property with secure parking and a lovely lobby. The old town is a bit far away, if you're walking, but the promenade is just down the hill and you can walk in each direction.
While I did love staying in this hotel, there were two drawbacks.
This was our least favorite breakfast of our two week stay in Portugal...

Our stay here totally exceeded expectations! The grounds are gorgeous and the room was enormous compared to the other hotels we stayed at in Lisbon and Porto. The staff were incredibly sweet and accommodating. The kitchenette in the room was such a welcome surprise. We were able to cook a nice dinner one evening that we enjoyed on the patio overlooking downtown Funchal. Definitely hit the breakfast for 12 euros at least once. It was charming and delicious.

Great hotel! The staff was very friendly and helpful with all of our questions. The place was very clean. It was great having access to all of the facilities of the park hotel next door. Location was perfect, closer to the “old town” Funchal than most of the hotels, about a 20 min walk to the center, but great area near a lot. Overall I felt very safe, only thing to note is that there is no one at the front desk between midnight and 7am, but you will need your key card to get into the building...

The hotel has a great location next to the
Cathedral. Only problem is that it’s hard to
get to with luggage, since cars & taxis can not get to the entrance. All the employees were helpful, talkative, and enjoyable. The free breakfast has a huge assortment of goodies and even hot items.. The one problem I do want to address is parking your car. When I reserved, it said parking available..
For some reason, I expected it nearby and free. The parking lot is a good 15 minutes walk from the hotel....

It's been my home for years. Wonderful landscape, pools even sea water pool.
Nice staff good pool Manager and staff, very devoted. It's relative quiet. No loud tacky Americans in sights, people dress
Decently even at dinner. You can chose
A mountain view, a Harbour view, or even
A dedicatedly sea view. I prefer the Harbor view since you see both , sea and Harbor.
Fine dining, especially the Red Lion across the street. Decent food well priced.

Everyone at the staff has been very helpful to me. They made arrangements for me to extend my stay even under somewhat difficult conditions. I’m a happy guy and I like the location is central and you can get to the bus terminal the cable car and the old city with no problem. Mike

We stayed there 8 nights in a superior room. The room was nice and clean. We could have better view from the balcon but it was ok. The stuff was always very kind and helpful with us. The breakfast was excellent with everything you wish. Around the swimming pool was enough sun beds and was never crowded. Actually we prefered to stay at the Miramar hotel swimming pool ( less kids and less people there ) The pool bar is great with friendly stuff. Great prices there! Don't miss the Happy Hours...

It was lovely fine days full of comfort from the always helpful stuff, gorgeous garden to walk and relax in, and a marvelous cliff overlooking the marina and sea of Funchal. The balcony/terrace was south oriented - full of flowers in pots, with a sunshade, table and chairs - lovely place to take a glass in the evening.
The only small minus was a bit of possible noise from neighbour's room, but that wasn't a problem, rather just a notice.

The rooms are spacious and nice (had a superior studio) but the carpets need replacing and the gym needs new cardio machines. The breakfast buffet is great, and the area is safe.

One of the best experiences we have had traveling! Every detail was perfect and the staff were friendly, attentive and accommodating. I cannot say enough good things about the Reserve- bests Ritz, St Regis and Four Seasons for customer service:-)
