After we in the morning Berlin at minus 8. degrees had left, was the arrival on the island when frühsommerlichen temperatures very pleasant. Of the hotel overall, as well as our rooms we were very positively surprised. The rooms were in freshly renovated condition, bathroom and toilets were clean and nothing to complain. The hotel guests were mostly german origin, a few but also english, dutch, french and russian nationality. read more

    The rooms were from the size and decor adequate, the cleaning daily cleaned, complaints did not have we. An airco the march on Madeira not really needed, as the day and nighttime temperatures mediaeval frühsommerlichen values were.

    The kitchen was we felt that varied very Maritim coined/shaped, which because of the location the island also not different to be expected. People, the don't like fish, to stay at home.

  • Service

    The hotel services as well as at the reception, as well as in the restaurant we found very positive. English for the universal use are recommendable. The furnishing and the atmosphere in the restaurant we found very pleasant and right any concourse-like atmosphere, as we have elsewhere have seen. The waiters were polite and attentive, ordered beverages was within a very short time at the table.

    For this we can give no further review, as these when booking of the vacation n't relevant for us were. Once per week there is a folklore evening instead, occasionally plays for evening entertainment a band.

    The hotel is on a terraced landscaped hillside in the immediate seaside location, from our room with a terrace we could a magnificent view on the atlantic ocean and occasional passing ships watch. Booking a room with a view of the sea is recommendable. Otherwise you will find to several small einzelterrassen individual beach chairs, the free of charge could. At the bottom end the hotel is a pool, and a seawater pool, the for swimming appropriate are, because of the concreted ' lawn ' however not really for longer sit on. The bothered us however not further, since Madeira marriage not the classical bath island is.

Never again! This hotel belongs to both structurally, as well as as regards further deals with to Hotel Royal orchid in the immediate surroundings. The hotels share amongst others a fitness center, the indoor pool, an outdoor swimming pool, etc. During our stay we made acquaintance with ungeziefern, which we probably from reviews and adventures knew, but never itself experienced and therefore these animals always a fairytale stopped. Here we found it! The room service cleaned not, but distributed the dirt evenly. The furniture is from the 80. years and the seals of the windows to be desired! The staff ... we found as stolid and undedicated. We felt never so unwelcome! Madeira is one of the most beautiful islands, but not in this hotel! read more

We would stay here again have a vacation! We were in november 2012 due to construction in the Hotel Royal orchid in the roca mar moved. There we moved the room 715, which was a 4 bett room is, but the construction site furthest away, so that we the deafening noise not more had to hear. The cleanliness left much to be desired, it was cleaned daily, but only not carefully (s. pictures). We spend here 11 days. If we had been given the choice we would dearest again have left. In the last night, there was a storm with ... rain and we were at night at 4 o'clock about 2 centimeter high in the water and got from the reception large towels and wiped efficient the water, which through the closed window came in. On the next day there was an apology and the offer back to move, but for one night we wanted to not more, we just wanted to go home. We were very disappointed and had our until now worst holiday! read more
  • Room

    4-bed room with two rooms. Reasonable size. Small terrace with a wonderful view, for 4 people would be the terrace cramped. There was several times vielfüßige critters and dusting is not one of the strengths there. The furniture was rather 80., the bathroom is partly renovated (blue and beige tiles). The bettvorleger i would my visit not offer more, would be better not any. Flatscreen tv, air conditioning, hair dryer, safety deposit box for a fee (8€ per week). Overall rather worn and not to be comfortable.

    One becomes full, but nice surprises does not exist. We had the half board, the beverages we got after our complaint and our move into the roca mar in the evening free of charge, what unfortunately regularly to negotiate with the waiters led. Time it was ok, then they said, there is only one free drink, we felt daily as requestor. If you cutlery not retaineth, it will after the first hallway to the buffet with cleared and there is no cutlery at the buffet available. You get the impression, that more than once to the buffet go is not allowed.

    The hotel is in a very nice location. We had a nice view. The bus stop line 155 is no 5 minutes away (simple drive to Funchal 2,10 Euro). Funchal is approximately 13km west. The airport is approximately 10 kilometers away, there is no aircraft noise. Nearby there is a supermarket, car rental, restaurants, and a gift shop with a very friendly seller!

At-and days of departure can it be, that the room only in the late afternoon to be cleaned! In June then suddenly a public holiday announced and one should for its food extra pay. Have almost all not made and had then for dinner in the neighboring royal ... orchid go! A very nice insolence! In the location of the hotel is a rental car definitely recommendable!

Hotel with a great location and a fantastic view (room with a view of the sea, costs about 50 €per person who was worth it) very good shuttle connection to Funchal three times daily.

beautiful, quiet hotel in gorgeous area on a cliff, in an area of Madeira, the climatic is favored, where almost always the sun shines, which special in the mountain the island as well as in the North not always the case is (we have spent the whole wonderful Island ). Because the hotel because of the cliffs and a impressive Surf for children actually is unsuitable, it is one of the few places, where you peace unhitch can. Very clean hotel, international audience with an average age between 40 and 50 years. From room with breakfast until full board is ... everything possible. read more
  • Room

    the rooms are rather small cut, but sufficient, well equipped, all with a balcony and most with a view of the sea. Air conditioning is available and would be individually controllable. Safe also available. The baths arebig and spacious, well equipped and very clean, as the hotel generally. Tv with enough German speaking Channels.

  • Gastronomy

    Extensive breakfast buffet, where you from the fruit up to ham and eggs found everything. From the dining room you can food only for a fee take, which we but also true find. Evenings you can also visit a à-la-carte food. Lunch offers the rocky bar with wonderful views plenty of choice from snacks to richtem lunch, always freshly cooked. The kitchen is international, but there were also typical Landesgerichte can be ordered (pork pickled in white wine and garlic-but it was not so our case ). Pricewise really reasonable.

  • Service

    the staff are extremely nice and accommodating, even the maids tried, English and German to speak. The cleaning of the rooms is prompt and discreet, extremely closely. Internet you can in the hotel used, but for a fee (1 euro for 20 minutes )

  • Sport & Entertainment

    in the evening there is a animation program in the restaurant, mostly singer or a parrot show, apart from that will welcome you with animation etc. as in peace left, what we found very pleasant felt. The beach is actually not for swimming itself suitable (cliffs ) as already mentioned, the water even crystal clear and the surf wild romantic. The tendious morning reserve of in this hotel not available, at least we could it end of October when actually good booked hotel not monitor-probably therefore, because sufficient beach chairs are available. In the area of the hotel there are 2 pools. And thank god you are not like in many other hotels the region through a glass wall from the sea separated.

    the hotel lies at the edge of canico, on a cliff with a 180° view on the south. High above the sea location, you can have the spectacle of the surf (Tidenhub around 2 meters ) wonderful watch. Nearby there are some great restaurants, romantic designed, as well as options for shopping. In Madeira, it is certainly worth it, a rental car to take, the island is wonderful, after each curve, in all valley a new Picture on. For swimming are the beaches fact generally wenigergeeignet, there are cliffs, wild romantic, with entrance into the sea via ladders and staircases, only for Beginners swimmers, not for children! In the cliffs in the area of the hotel adequate sunbathing beaches available, partly right on the cliff-side, circa 3a 5 meters above the sea, separated by a mounting with ropes-simply wonderful. Who rest and relaxation and the sound of love, is in the right place here. The descent to the lying areas is without any problems over beautiful Rose, but for people with a handicap may be particularly difficult. There is far 2 pools with sufficient couch surfaces. By the way: the airport is by car in 15 minutes reachable, noise from the planes you can hear the area of the hotel definitely no, only the from time to time loud noise of the surf.

Whoever likes to have a coffee and good food, should only night without/book with breakfast (espresso = had to be paid, is however delicious) and eat in the area, for example, à la carte restaurant tropical or villa Ventura grill restaurant or in Funchal. Rooms with view of the sea are beautiful and sufficient. Small flaws were included, but tolerable. Friendliness of the staff not at all, rather musty and annoyed. Good starting point for excursions, it was advisable to rent a car, but you have to with a 'Swiss cheese' implication, as many old coastal Roads were closed and ... replaced by tunnel. Still had a nice vacation. read more

Who a vacation with excursions, that means the island to explore would like and to a beach holiday not do without want is right at home here! The connection to Funchal is very good and there is the excursions and tours all plan. (no matter wether bus tour, hiking or boat trip). The hotel is, for children, i am not so good, because there was no beach available and the sea only ladders and stairs is available. Sunbathing area for sun bathing and relaxing very nice, small 'terraces' allow something' distance ' to other hotel guests. The pool is every ... 2 days emptied and fresh water filled. (very clean) swimming in the sea (totally clear water) is very pleasant since we had ladders directly into the deep water. To eat: we only booked with breakfast - this was for our standards very good-there was everything! ( rolls, bread, muesli, yogurt, sausage, cheese, eggs, jam, honey, beans, bacon. Coffee, juice, tea ) the possibility evening meal to go is several times: restaurants including fish and meat dishes, as well as pizzeria directly in the area. Small supermarket near hotel. We were very satisfied and could in this holiday to relax and the island explore. read more

The rooms and the facilities of the hotel and the breakfast they are more like a three star hotel. Have tried to switch rooms but only the same room a floor higher offered. The cleanliness was OK, although everything was already seemly worn and in a lot of limescale on fixtures is. In our living room it bothered, that you will probably be woken by the hammering workers, the flexen in your workshop and. The breakfast buffet had a very limited selection and tinned fruit or mushrooms for us not a four star hotel. The location and all are great ... but the above-mentioned ' snacks 'may easily spoil the holiday. read more

We were very positive surprised with the room, we had booked double room without sea view, we got a room with sea view and a small kitchenette. Since we had only breakfast, where the eggs almost always cold and the coffee is very hard to get used to otherwise selection Okay, I can say nothing about the rest of the food. In the surrounding area but there are plenty of restaurants where one can go well to meals. Small supermarket is nearby. We were with our 7 year old son and other destinations were out, so we have also no ... entertainment, etc. and missed. There is no beach in front of the hotel, but a small ocean water pool and direct access to the sea via ladders and stairs. Overall it we liked it. read more

The hotel is in a good location immediate over the sea. We had a room with extra charge for additional view of the sea, what I would absolutely recommend can. The furniture is quite worn, but daily very properly cleaned. We had bed and breakfast, but the breakfast buffet (with small variations) was the same every day, but if like me you like eggs, you will easily get full. Very enjoyable at the breakfast was the nice staff, the always and never take nachlegte all meals, so that you also shortly before the end of the buffet had full selection. ... The breakfast terrace, you should definitely use when weather permits. For dinner I can't make any statement, since we always ate at a nearby restaurant, however, nearby there are not too many. I recommend a rental car all, individually the hotel. read more
