Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the room as it surpassed my expectations, being more like a suite with separate kitchen and sitting room, and a double balcony offering stunning views of the Lido and the sea. The room was simple but clean, and the terrace provided a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset over the ocean. The hotel's service was a mix of responses, with one staff member being a bit gruff while others were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was ideal, within walking distance to Funchal center and surrounded by great bars, restaurants, and supermarkets. The dining experience varied from just okay to very nice, with good quality food options available. The facilities were decent, offering the essentials needed for a comfortable stay.
