Pros & Cons

Location and Contact Information

Strategically positioned, a mere 20-minute drive from Funchal and half an hour’s ride from the airport, the hotel stands, as we discovered during our first visit. Its accessibility made our explorations around Madeira effortless and enjoyable.

It’s not just about resting your head; it’s an entrepôt to immerse in Madeira’s rhythm. We found that as the day wanes, engaging in billiards and mini-golf narrated our tales of relaxation and fun.

Experience

Our temporary abode, a two-bedroom apartment, unfurled expansively. Meticulously equipped, it also boasted a terrace – the vistas from which captivated us profoundly, inspiring moments of reflection and awe.

Mornings heralded a symphony of flavours. A spread of fresh pastries, genuine fruit juices, eggs, and bacon awaited us, each signaling the adventures that lay ahead. We found that English wasn’t just spoken; it was an integral part of the experience, enhancing our interactions.

And through it all, the majestic Cabo Girão framed our world, a constant reminder of the island’s natural beauty.

Post-breakfast, we often watched as children found tales in mini-golf, playrooms, and a pool – so pristine and inviting, resistance was a fabled concept.

Yet, in this animated world, peace was a steadfast companion. The view, by day or night, was a salve for the soul.

Hotel Facilities

Often, we’ve heard the game room resonate with exuberant cheers, billiard tables and foosball eagerly awaiting their next enthusiastic players. We recall joining in a few lively games ourselves, the friendly competition adding to our holiday experience.

The tennis court, meticulously maintained, beckoned us, amateurs though we are, and we found the mini-golf course a delightful challenge of wit and finesse. The vistas, as jaw-dropping as they are, found their match in the gleaming pools.

We particularly appreciated the complimentary private parking and Wi-Fi, which subtly enriched our stay, offering not just connectivity but the essence of modern convenience.

The spa, with its steamy sauna and masterful massages, became our sanctuary of solace, a haven we retreated to for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Restaurant

From the heart of Madeira, traditional scents waft through the Atlântico restaurant, a sensation we’ve come to savour. Each meal here promised a gastronomic journey that lingered in our memories long after.

Breakfasts unfolded in a buffet style, where each ingredient seemed to hold its narrative, its own past.

We often found ourselves lingering at the snack bar for those transient moments of rest, enjoying the fresh pastries and a steaming cup of coffee as a perfect interlude to our days.

Swimming Pools

Here, the cerulean hues of the sea meld seamlessly with the azure of the pools – two in precise count, as we’ve joyfully discovered during our stays.

The first, an indoor haven, promises warmth throughout the seasons. We’ve often sought its heated embrace, independent of the whims of weather. Surrounding it, a sun deck becomes an ode to relaxation and quiet sunbathing, a peaceful retreat we’ve relished.

The second, an open-air spectacle, frames breathtaking panoramas and remains open throughout the year. We’ve found this outdoor pool to be a watery canvas fit for all ages, perfect for family fun or a serene swim.

Ensuring the cool, a poolside bar offers chilled libations, a feature we’ve appreciated for its convenience and refreshment.

And for safety’s poetic embrace, a fence encircles the oasis, a thoughtful touch that has added to our sense of security and ease.

After a day traversing Madeira’s rich tapestry, a dive in either pool has always felt like a homecoming, a perfect end to our adventurous days.

Spa

Post exploration, the steam bath stands ready to cleanse both mind and spirit, a ritual we’ve come to cherish. For those, like us, seeking a deeper resonance with relaxation, the spa and wellness center (at an additional charge) unfolds a repertoire of treatments and therapies that we’ve indulged in more than once.

It’s an opportunity, a canvas really, for us to relinquish ourselves to seasoned hands and let the day’s rigors dissipate. Each visit to the spa has been a journey into tranquility, leaving us rejuvenated and ready for new adventures.
