Disappointing stay
Overall disappointing. Some staff were nice, but at breakfast I was disappointed by the service. I asked for some ketchup with my meal, and was just bluntly told 'no we don't have any' without apology or any offer to find some (I can't believe a big hotel would not have any ketchup anywhere in it??). The same member of staff insisted I use a saucer for my teacup in a way that felt like policing me, and they continued to stand in the room glaring at the customers in a most unfriendly manner. It felt very uncomfortable. The room was basic, and the bedding and bed was not very comfortable. The windows were also quite dirty. Also the air conditioning was poor and the room remained very warm throughout our stay. Overall I would not recommend this hotel or stay here again.

Wonderful, lived up to its name of a great view!
The view was absolutely amazing and the rooms were wonderful. No complaints at all about that :) breakfast was fantastic and you can not beat the incredible views from the hotel breakfast, it was a little sun trap with views of the ocean and the beautiful mountains. It was a shame the hotel bar was closed in the day / evenings and it felt a little quiet and perhaps a little like it has been frozen in time since the 90s. It may be because we were there in May so a little out of season. Everything in brilliant condition, very grand hotel and could imagine it would have been a fabulous and very glamorous spot in its hay day! It was a really restful and relaxing stay here and we had a lovely garden off our room too with incredible views. there were a few very minor things like the lights in the hotel didn’t work in all parts of the corridor (not a big deal at all though) and the wifi didn’t really work in the rooms (again not a huge deal if you wanted to just disconnect but may be an issue for some)! It was only €6-9 euros in a taxi to the town, however we were hoping to be able to walk (google maps says 18 min walk), unfortunately the roads were a little precarious with no safe pavement to walk on so we decided mostly to taxi to be on the safe side! Overall we absolutely loved our stay here and honestly can’t complain, the little things we mentioned didn’t negatively affect our stay at all.

10/10 Exceptional

Only there for 1 night so didn't get chance to use all the facilities, but the room was very clean and comfortable with great views over Funchal, the bathroom and shower were clean and everything worked well, plenty of channels on the TV. WiFi is good in the bedrooms but no drink making facilities. Breakfast was excellent with loads of choice of hot and cold food and the ambience in the restaurant and adjoining outside terrace makes it a lovely place to eat. The only downside is the walk up from town, steep and a little convoluted so make sure you've got plenty of charge on your phone as you set off walking and allow around 30 minutes. Otherwise around 7 euros by taxi.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING
I am not a person that would normally complain but feel scammed and wouldn't want anyone else to waste their hard earned money. This is most definitely NOT a 5* hotel as advertised. The whole place is in dire need of renovating. The carpets are worn and stained, towels are badly frayed, stained with holes. The whole hotel decor is plain and in need of a deep clean. The beds are uncomfortable, shower curtains not fit for purpose - the main curtains fabric resembled shower curtains material (also stained and filthy) Indoor swimming pool (which is also one of the outdoor pools) not heated so not fit for use in February which was also not maintained to decent standard. Jacuzzi was only just lukewarm. Food was extremely basic, not replenished as frequently as needed. Only one staff member on to clean tables/replenish which meant there were many days of having to clear tables yourself. Amenities stated on the website don't exist - no yoga, robes, slippers, free water or massage service. Some sites state it has a local shuttle to get to town - it doesn’t. No tea making facilities in the room (when asked, was provided with kettle and cups only) If i'd booked a 3* hotel I wouldn't complain but this is a far cry from a 'Luxury 5*' as stated. It is an absolute insult to the hotels that are awarded 5* for their efforts, amenities and luxury. It's not allowing me to upload photos of which I have plenty. The only decent thing about this hotel are the views.

4/10 Fair

This isn't a five star hotel. It's more like three star with a few four star bits thrown in. The room was quite big and it had a nice balcony. None of that is any good if the beds are rock hard though. If there is one thing that you expect in a five star property, it's to have comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet was very disappointing too. The choice very limited. The bacon was fake, as was the juice, and the mushrooms we're tinned. There wasn't even any toast - surely a very basic requirement. The pool was nice but wasn't heated and Madeira rarely gets hot enough to do the job by the sun. The towels were old, worn and even patched up. The views were great but not nearly enough to make up for the many shortcomings of the hotel. Poor value for money.

The view over Funchal is the best.The hotel was very busy with guests on promotions. In that respect we felt we were paying over the odds for bed and breakfast.

Beautiful views of Madeira
It was a wonderful hotel, staff were on hand at reception all day and quick to respond to requests and queries. The pool bar was not always covered by staff but made up for it in service. Definately would recommend this hotel.
