    Very sweet, clean village with friendly people (but not in-your-face). Lots of bars and restaurants, reasonably priced. Lovely wine, good food and some nice boutiques too. Easy to get to Funchal on buses and there are also plenty of taxis. Its minutes from the airport and planes fly very low overhead but it is spectacular to see without being too noisy. Loved it.

    Very good service by everybody, even the manager helped me get my car out, the breakfast staff did food for my special needs, the reception were very welcoming, it was clean & modern & I liked the mint water & that the hotel has a private garage. Very good standard close to the airport & the small town center. Only minus was that I'd wished for a heated jacuzzi .-)

    We just stayed here so we could pick up the rental car next morning, but what a gem! This sleepy town is probably too close to the airport for tourist to stay here, thus this was cosiest town we visited on the island. Locals greets each other on the streets and everybody seems to know everyone. The hotel is nothing spectacular, but it wont be cleaner than this, we had the cutest little balcony and the beds were perfectly comfortable.

    Great central location, easy to commute by bus from both the airport and Funchal. Beaches and Santa Cruz pools with ocean water are nearby. Breakfast was good. The receptionist kindly helped me with finding a the bus stop to the Funchal and schedule. The room is bigger than I expected, has a desk and chair, armchair, and the wi-fi is stable so it's was comfortable to work here

The ocean pool offers a magnificent panoramic view of the ocean and Santa Cruz bay. Breakfast and dinner were incredible. Thank you for a lovely stay. Everything was 10/10.
