Don’t be fooled by the pictures - the pool is tiny. However, it’s not needed as the natural pools (which you get a free ticket through the hotel) are an absolute highlight. The staff were wonderful and the food was decent.

Paradise!
Absolutely breathtaking! Even though our balcony faced the opposite side of the better view our view was still amazing! The location was perfect and the restaurant and gift shop next door was a nice touch! The breafast included mimosa and the staff was very nice! We will be back some day!

Great stay here. Location and views are perfect. Our only complaint is not enough pool chairs/loungers by the outdoor pool. People were also saving there spots with towels but were nowhere to be seen often for hours

Wonderful room with balcony, pools and massages!
Beautiful entrance and smooth check in to the hotel. We wanted to quickly get out to the pools to take a dip. We dropped our things off in our room and just loved the look of the room and the fact that they had towels available in the room to use for the pools. We had great evening in the lava pools, rooftop pool and heated pool on level -1. We felt extra special and welcomed with a bottle of their blue champagne that was dropped off in our room while we were out. We had lovely massages by Leticia in the morning after a delicious breakfast provided by the hotel. Exceptional stay, thank you for a wonderful time. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Great stay
Hotel staff were really friendly and made extra special touches as we were celebrating a special occasion. Rooms are spacious and have fantastic balconies overlooking the sea. Very clean and comfortable and lovely breakfast. The only one downside is the soundproofing is not that good so you can hear other guests however this also means you can hear the ocean which is nice. It did not affect our stay. We really enjoyed our holiday and would stay here again.

Poor hotel, overpriced services and no atmosphere
Badly organised hotel. Arrived 5:30pm and room wasn't ready. This wasn't a one off as there were 4 other couples waiting with same problem. We had to ask for things several times before anything was done. Generally staff very unenthusiastic with a few exceptions. Drinks were very highly priced compared to other places on island. Almost double in some cases. Food was average but again very expensive for quality. Bizarre and sexist artwork in toilets. I would avoid this hotel.
Artwork in men's toilet. Weird!

Had an excellent stay at this hotel! The facilities are robust, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The operation time for the swimming pool and sauna until 22:00 was convenient, providing a relaxing experience after a day of hiking. Overall, we really liked this hotel and would highly recommend it.

Well worth a stay
Such friendly and helpful staff. Really nice breakfast but elements of half board dinner let the meal down eg potato rosti turned out to be a frozen hash brown. The very cheap and nasty blue fizz that is meant as a bonus only leaves a bad taste in more ways than one. Overall a very good hotel for the money.

A beautiful hotel where every room has a sea view. Lots of facilities, room top infinity pool, gym, spa, hot tub - the list is long. The room was very clean and spacious with all mod cons and then some. The staff were great and the food was amazing. It is across the road from the volcano pools and a 5 minute walk from the bigger pool. A lovely place to stay and explore the beautiful island of Madeira.
