8.6/10 Excellent! (137 reviews)
The property is beautiful and rooms were very nice. Pools were clean but freezing cold, as none are heated except in the spa and there’s no hot tubs either. Coffee shop was excellent, the young lady that works there was amazing. Gelato place was good. The sports bar left a lot to be “desired.” Workers were rude and after ordering drinks 2 times we never received them. Took an hour to get our food when we ordered before others who received theirs in a fraction of the time. The teppanyaki was amazing and our chef was a delight. Carvao was okay, ordered our steak medium and it came out well done. Buffet was subpar and dinner was often cold. Overall, this resort needs some work but it was fine for a few days.

Ponta Do Sol Beach
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
