Great place to spend a week, good links to town centre and local walks along promenade. Buffet and breakfast was excellent. Could improve communication on facilities, as staff could not supply English language text on the TV (remained in German due to IT problem).

As the top hotel in the area the biggest issue for me was the customer service. The hotel is beautiful and rooms are stunning. You have everything you need and more. Gym needs a bit of improvement and better lighting. But the worst was the poolside service. Several days people were trying to chase down servers and ask for drinks/food. Nobody is around to serve you and when you ask, towel guys can’t help and say it’s a normal complaint. The service at the root was extremely rude and slow too. Again, hotel is beautiful but you expect top service at a five star hotel.

This was taken on my way to the highest peak in Madeira, a beautiful little Portuguese isalnd near the African coast. I met the most friendliest people here on this isalnd. Madeira is so small that you do not need 1 month to go and see everything there is and elderly people speak very good English too ! #madeira #outdoor #nature #hiking
