The property was absolutely lovely. I had no idea there was any renovation going on on the outside until I saw it from my balcony. The workers were extremely quiet. The staff at the front desk offered me a breakfast box since I was leaving early in the morning and accommodated my dietary restriction. My room was upgraded based on my Expedia status. This almost never happens even when I’m eligible for it. If I’m ever back in Madeira, I will definitely be staying here again.

If you are planning on taking an early morning flight this is probably the best location, just 5 minutes drive from airport.
Breakfast was nice with made to order eggs, coffee, variety of fresh fruits and yogurt.

Property was clean, easy to find, within walking distance to the airport.
It is VERY loud when trying to sleep due to flights overhead.
We splurged and paid for the all inclusive after our flight was cancelled, it was a waste of money. Multiple things were not actually included, and all inclusive received the same treatment as those who were put up by the airlines. It was not worth an additional $159.
Rooms are very dated, carpet on the floors. Indoor and outdoor pools are beautiful. Beach is terrible

This is our go to hotel when flying out of Madeira Island. Staff is extremely accommodating. Although we left for the airport at 3 AM, we were provided with a boxed breakfasts. It is only about a 10 minute cab ride to the airport and runs around 10 euros. Perfect and convenient.

Staff need to smile a bit more and breakfast is not up to par. Paid less money at Four Views in Canico, Madeira and their breakfast is superior.
