We recently spent 3 nights here. Stunning setting, friendly helpful staff, large comfortable rooms overlooking the ocean, fantastic breakfast and restaurant. 3 large pools. We ate at the restaurant twice, and have yet to find food as good elsewhere on Madeira. The Scabbard fish Madeira style or flambe were both outstanding. Breakfast included wonderful fresh fruit, eggs to order, assorted meats, cheeses, breads, and croissants. Meals can be eaten on a veranda overlooking the water. The hotel has its own exit off the highway, but it is only on one side, so it can be tricky to find the first time you arrive. Although close to the airport, it is very quiet.
