Allegro Madeira - Adults Only - Member of Barceló Hotel Group

Allegro Madeira - Adults Only - Member of Barceló Hotel Group

10/10 Excellent
"Great location and caring staff, with a few small improvements needed The location of the hotel is wonderful, and the island itself is absolutely beautiful. It would honestly be a shame to spend all your time just staying at the hotel — we explored the island, enjoyed the nature, watched the sunrises, and truly appreciated our time here. The reception staff were very kind and caring, which made our stay even more pleasant. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience. We especially appreciated the access to the sauna and the option to request a lunch box. Since we chose to wake up early to watch the sunrise and explore the island, we unfortunately never made it to breakfast (even though it was included in the price), so the lunch box option was very helpful for us. However, there are a few things that could be improved. There were no slippers in the room, which would have been a nice addition. Also, the lunch boxes were inconsistent: one morning it was prepared only for one person (even though there were two of us), the next day it was for two people, and on the third day again only for one. We were not sure why this happened. Another issue was the strong smell in the room upon arrival. It smelled heavily of chlorine, almost like a hospital. It made the first night quite uncomfortable. Perhaps adding some light room fragrance or sachets could help create a more welcoming atmosphere. Overall, we had a good stay and enjoyed our time on the island. With a few small improvemen"
