Afternoon tea avec violoniste dans le jardin, tous les jeudis. Très agréable.
Visited in 2025-01
Un hôtel exceptionnel avec d'excellents équipements et un personnel sympathique. Piscine intérieure d'eau douce chauffée et piscine extérieure non chauffée avec places assises. Plusieurs possibilités de restauration sur place et de bons restaurants à proximité. Presque tous les clients que nous avons rencontrés avaient déjà visité l'hôtel à plusieurs reprises, ce qui en dit long. Le centre de Funchal est accessible à pied, mais il est préférable de prendre un moyen de transport pour le retour, car il faut grimper un peu. Sur une grande ligne de bus.

Hôtel magnifique avec un personnel charmant et tous les équipements que vous pourriez souhaiter ! L'emplacement est fabuleux - on peut se rendre facilement à pied en ville, mais le quartier n'est pas trop animé - on a l'impression d'être en privé. Superbes piscines intérieure et extérieure et accès à la mer également. Toutes les options de nourriture sont couvertes au petit déjeuner pour la demi-pension et de bonnes options de déjeuner / dîner aussi. C'est la troisième fois que je séjourne ici et je le choisirai à nouveau la prochaine fois, je recommande vraiment cet hôtel !

Situé à 30 minutes de marche de Funchal - montée au retour, mais marche très agréable. Bel hôtel - très propre dans l'ensemble, personnel professionnel et sympathique, petits déjeuners excellents, chambre avec vue sur la mer confortable avec une vue magnifique.

Encore un séjour très agréable au Cliff Bay à Madère. Nous avons séjourné ici à plusieurs reprises et nous avons toujours été très satisfaits. Je pense cependant qu'ils devraient réintroduire la navette vers le centre ville depuis l'hôtel. La distance est d'environ un kilomètre et il serait très pratique de réintroduire la navette qui existait avant le blocage de Covid. D'autres hôtels comparables, qui ne sont pas au centre de la ville, disposent d'une navette. Il serait également utile que le concierge soit plus visible, car il n'est pas toujours facile d'obtenir de l'aide pour planifier des voyages, etc. auprès de la réception, souvent très occupée.
