I stayed at this Hotel for two weeks 1st Feb to 13th Feb 2012 however it is with great regret that I have to critisise this Hotel on no other aspect than its position which is half way up a very very steep hill. I am a fairly fit 68 yr old and I have holidayed in most destinations around... More

We stayed for a week at the end of January. Hotel rooms on 7 floors all with balconies, end rooms on floor 7 have huge balconies with the two at the east side enjoying panaramic views over Funchal and the harbour. 8th floor is the roof sun terrace with a bar, jacuzzi and sun beds. All sea view rooms overlook... More

We needed to get away...and in search of Winter sun our options where very limited. We are both in our 30's so when we arrived we were a little bit surprised at the average age of most of the other guests (65+)..however we quickly found out that this was to our advantage! we had the pool, sauna and most of...

Stayed for one week, end of Januay, beginning of February, half board. Food was fab and plentiful and the evening meal was based on a different theme each night e.g. Italian, Chinese, Madeiran, but with a wide range of other basics which were on offer every day. Even the fussiest eater would have found it very, very hard to complain... More

Overall a fantastic stay full of great views, great trips, great food and excellent customer service. Well done Thomsons .. you really put Thomas Cook etc to shame. The entertainment was OK with Chris and Gayle really pleasant and trying hard to energise some pretty old guests. We got the average age of the guests down to 75 and we... More

Again Thomson have come up trumps with this couples hotel. We really enjoyed this hotel; it had a pleasant atmosphere and was nicely decorated and had original art work everywhere. The rooms were spacious and pleasant for the most part.The food was varied and well cooked and presented. The entertainment in the evenings was mainly produced by two young musicians... More

We visited in October 2011 & had contacted the hotel directly to book a room with a sea view balcony, not only was this done but the young lady on reception welcomed us & thanked us for oue e mail! The room was superb, the view from the balcony was everything we had hoped for and when we did have... More

We stayed at this hotel in October 2011, the final week of Thompson Gold. Trev Jones and the other entertainment staff were great and gave it their all before going home. The rooms were all newly decorated and clean. The buffet-styme meals were all fantastic with plenty of choice. We went on the Eastern Delights tour whish was great. Otherwise... More

Really liked this hotel. We paid extra for a sea view and balcony which was a good decision and had a large room on the 6th floor. Yes there was a little traffic noise during the day from the road below but it didn't cause us a problem and it was useful to have the bus to Funchal stopping outside.... More
