This hotel is totally & utterly fantastic. The location perfect. Quiet & very relaxing indeed. The BUILDING WORKS are almost OVER ! Only down at the very front , where the bungalows are. Minimal noise. We stayed on the top floor ( 5th), having a superior sea view apartment. Was nothing short of fantastic. Fully equipped, safe ( we paid for it ), was spacious accommodation, very comfy beds ( twins pushed together ), a blanket which I loved as nights were alittle chilly ( November !), except the last night where it was 18 degrees ! Our balcony with a small table & 2 chairs was fantastic to look out across to the beautiful palm 🌴 trees , the sea & to see / hear the waves crashing in , the promenade and even saw a good 4 Cruise Ships 🚢 go cruising past ! Along with a Catamaran, fishing boats, a yacht and more. Was brilliant. Gorgeous sunrise 🌅 sunsets too. The Spa was lovely, heated indoor small pool , with loungers & steam/ sauna, treatment rooms & other water treatments too. Lovely Gym as well ! Empty ! We went in the pool most days , later and it was mostly quiet. No children about ! As its term time ! White robes & slippers were in our room , which made the holiday feel even more special to have them to get to the Spa and wear when we got up. Was bliss. The outdoor pool was spotlessly clean ! As was the area around it. I loved swimming 🏊♂️ in the outdoor pool as well as larger and most days had it to myself ! There is a gate at the bottom of the steps behind the pool area , that ( Using your room key to unlock 🔑 the gate ), takes you out onto a beautiful palm limed promenade ! Lovely places to sit and take in the waves , sea & scenery. One end a nice little cafe / bar with again great place to enjoy the scenery / sea / waves , open 2pm - 10pm every day. The other end , amazing views of the rockery cliffs , cove & a cafe / restaurant. A steep walk up steps from the promenade ( near the 1st cafe/ bar ) , leads you to a little hill , shops including a nice little supermarket & a bistro / 3 , we ate at 1 of them twice as they served Vegan food ! Was lovely. We don't drink often , but the Sangria was the best we've ever had ! Had to be tried ! Further up the hill is residential but we enjoyed the walk. We ate in the hotel the 1st night as we were tired from travelling, but NOT suitable for Vegans ! As only had 1 option / salad. Which was £16.50 for 1 serving. We took quite alot of our favourite stuff & found the local supermarket great for vegetables/ fruit / pasta/ sauces/ baked potatoes, Oat Milk & Soya Yoghurts, black / green olives , legumes, so that was great. We took advantage of the FREE shuttle bus , going to Funchal, we went at 10.30am , but got a taxi back for 25 Euros as missed the last bus ! But we didn't mind as had had a great , busy day in Funchal. The local bus & another small supermarket is just up the hill from the hotel reception. We also took the 8.5 Hour private coach tour , of the West Side of Madeira , lea
