Rooms with a fantastic view of the Atlantic Ocean & Funchal Harbour. If you get a room facing the harbour, there's always something to catch a glance of. The cable cars going up & down the mountainous terrain that is the backdrop to the city, to the many cruise boats that vist Madiera every week. Occasionally, youll see a replica of Christopher Columbus's Clipper floating about. The downside is the continual drone of the traffic below passing endlessly on a daily basis except Sunday. The rooms are good, clean, comfy beds & the cleaning staff are very friendly & do a good job. The breakfast is okay. Healthier options as well as usual bacon cherrio sausages, eggs fried or scrambled. There's a pool at the top of the hotel of which the surrounding balconies have even better views of what I previously mentioned. There's a bar up there which is open during the day with reasonably priced drinks. The staff are very friendly & will help where possible. They have a shuttle into Funchal every day of which I used once. The guy turned up on time at the pickup spot on time. It is quite a trek to town walking. This will take an hour. Footpaths on the roads aren't everywhere, so are a bit at the mercy of the traffic. There's no coffee & tea making facilities in your room of which I found to be a let down. These little ******* will petre out into into insignificance as you get around the beautiful island of Madiera. The people are the most friendly I've met anywhere in the world. Will be back.
