A tidy, functional one bedroom apartment - that met all of our requirements. It was great to have a fully operational kitchen which gave us the choice of eating in. The food in the restaurant was spot on - well priced and a diverse menu with plenty of choice for families and those on a budget. Great accomm👍

This is a beautiful location with stunning views. Just be aware that it the shuttle bus from the resort doesn't always go into town everyday. The village is far from Funchal and the public transportation is not always reliable or ontime.
I booked this place in December 2025 for the gym, the view, tranquility and the pools. The gym is NOT really a gym. It is a tiny room with a new treadmill and old bike and a weight machine. At times several ppl tried to use the gym at the same time but this was not possible due ot the small space. The gym is stuffy and also has no wifi or any exteral views.The pols are not heated so I did not swim.
There was no cleaning during my 8 days stay. There were 🐜 's in the kitchen. Someone came once to empty the in and change the towels.
The kitchen has good equipment and is spacious. The place is dated and could definitely do with a refurb to take it into 2026.
I liked the location and might go back .

Here’s a cleaner, sharper, and more polished version that keeps the bite but reads as credible, composed, and devastatingly clear (the kind hotels actually fear):
⸻
This place has enormous potential, but the staff make the experience genuinely awful. We have stayed in hundreds of hotels around the world, and we have never encountered this level of disdain for guests.
The front desk staff openly laugh at guests and seem to take pride in making stays more difficult. Need towels for the sauna? Be prepared to pay to “rent” one—only to be told you must keep that same towel for the entire stay. That means using it in the sweaty sauna, then for your shower, then at the pool. Fresh towels are never provided.
Housekeeping? There is none. Rooms are not cleaned at any point during your stay—no new towels, no tidying, nothing. Beds have no sheets, just a comforter that appears never to have been washed.
Hot water lasts about 30 seconds, and no one will address it. Early check-in or late check-out is flatly denied, often with smug smiles, as if refusing basic hospitality is a point of pride.
The on-site shop closes early without warning—don’t expect staff to tell you that you need to arrive before 1 p.m. if you want water or essentials. The “heated” pool was freezing cold, as were the sauna and hot tub. No staff were available to help with malfunctioning equipment, filthy locker rooms, or—once again—towels.
This property has great bones, but the customer service is shockingly bad.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was a good location to explore Madeira. It had great amenities for our family. Really liked the fact that the grocery store at the resort had very affordable prices (in some cases better than we found at the local supermarkets). Most of the staff we found to be very friendly. Our apartment was clean and well-equipped. They had access to a free laundry room and the resort has a shuttle and access to excursions if you don't want to book your own.

Near Cabo Girao
The location of the hotel was incredible, it was really beautiful and has a view of the cliffs and the ocean. The hotel, Itself, is a little worn down and needs a little upgrading. All in all the bed was comfortable and it’s nice to have a little kitchenette. It also had a spa and swimming pool so you don’t have to go into town (far) unless you want to. I wouldn’t suggest driving yourself, especially if you’re not used to the roads of Madeira.

A nice resort in a stunning location.
Our accommodations were in a beautiful location . albeit at a high altitude which for some would require a challenge climbing stairs and hills. The amenities: pool, spa, tennis court, miniature golf, DVD library were excellent for our stay. Our unit itself was spacious and clean . I would definitely consider a return visit. The restaurant, pool bar and mini mart aptly provided us with delicious food and beverage although we did buy groceries and wine for our unit. Staff was friendly and supportive.

Not a 4 star. The location is beautiful but very little to do in the evenings. The apartments are dated and definitely not up to 4 star standards. The pool area is nice and overall it is kept clean.

We spent one week in a one bedroom apartment in this wonderful property. The location is magical, right next to the Cabo Girao sea cliff with great views to the water, quiet, away from the hubbub of the towns, yet reasonably close to most sightseeing and a good base to explore the entire island. The apartment was clean, spacious and immediately felt like home. Nice bedroom, fully equipped kitchen and great balcony. Parking right below. The property has a convenient grocery store, two nice pools, a spa and several other amenities we did not use because we were out and about the whole day. Overall, we were very satisfied by this stay and it was excellent value for money.

Perfect location in the center for the southside of the island, therefore an ideal starting point for all of your dautrips around the island. You do need a car as the nearest town/supermarket is a 15 minutes drive on the twisty and hilly roads. We really liked the spacious appartment (MC2) and the stunning sight over the valley and sea. This was way better as expected on forehand. The location on the hill 600m above the sea has a very nice climate in August, as there is no airco and we didn't miss it neither. The pools, spa, tennis, minigolf are fun althought some maintenance has to be done. The restaurants are ok, although we didn't make very much use of them.

There are two pools, and saunas, but they close fairly early. Lots of cars coming through the area to see Cabo Girao. The apartment was well decorated and comfortable, but ants were all over the kitchen. Impossible to store any food or cook. We had to place our completely empty, yet infested with ants, garbage bin outside, as soon as we arrived. The WiFi was very slow, unable to do any work. Plenty of parking.

Ok for the price, but it's not a 4* establishment
Let's start with worst part: the employee called Carla at the bar. Rudeness and arrogance characterise her the most. Not an ounce of professionalism and a sense of service... For someone who was running the bar in the morning, she was a bad pick.
Next: none of the spa amenities were working. The sauna was warm, reaching max 40° C (it should be minimum 60°C) and the Hammam at 36-39°C. Most of the jets in the jacuzzi didn't work and the water was cold.
Thank goodness the pools were open and working... And lastly, most DVDs of those we chose are scratched.
Putting that aside, most of the staff were really friendly and nice! The receptionists José, Nicole and Ofélia were very attentive and helpful. Lídia, our maid, was very professional and always asked if we needed a change of towels (cos we didn't need cleaning during our 6 night stay).
The apartment itself was comfortable, but needs to be modernised. Those late 90s headboards are something worth getting rid of...
Best thing: the view!

The complex had everything we needed. Spacious and clean apartment with an amazing view over Funchal and the sea, with a nice size balcony and outdoors seating. The downside was the road in-between the accommodation and the facilities. It was quiet late at night although the traffic in the morning with all the tourist vehicles coming up the hill was rather noisy. We live in a village, so noticed it. It was quiet by the pool side though.
It has a restaurant and pool bar that does snacks at reasonable prices. There are two pools and sometimes I had the pool to myself to do laps. My highlight.
Communication was excellent. Lots of information on what to do, and just ask if you don't know. The complex organises event nights, excursions, transportation, anything you need.
It is on the highest point and away from Funchal, so if you want to be away from the capital which we found too built up, this is a great place. We were surprised how built up the south of the island is. Sometimes though, being high up, it attracts the clouds and cooler than being on the lower level of Funchal. Not much there without transport. You can get a local bus to Funchal and Lagos and a few other places. Or a shuttle bus from the complex, or a taxi. The complex organise with a few restaurants a shuttle bus to and from, which was perfect.
A perfect place to relax and do some excursion and/or walks.
I would recommend it for value.

Brilliant hotel
Lovely hotel in the middle of nowhere, if that’s your vibe then this is great. We had a car for the stay so was easy enough to get around. Views are amazing m, food is pretty decent and lots and lots of entertainment for both adults and kids alike…
The only downside to this was that we had lots of ants near a window they had left opened…
