the pool was quite cold, due to the weather.

great spa facilities too as we did quite a lot of hiking so the jacuzzi, sauna and pool were very much

place was so quiet we practically had it to ourselves, they brought breakfast up, the bath in the room, infinity pool and view from the hot tub was to die for

best of service, very friendly and service oriented staff, clean, perfect breakfast ;-)

- the gym is old and super smelly (they store their bird foods in there) - we found fungus bread in the

breakfast very tasty - fresh fruit, vegetables, warm dishes as well

i didn’t like the coffee at breakfast — it had way too much sugar — but these are minor details

the only think could be changed - indoor pool opening hours - for us 9 a

the breakfast, saunas and indoor pool

nothing to dislike. the wifi speed could be a bit better, but that was no issue for me.

a little surprised that so few people used the bar later in the evening, however we have never holidayed so early in the year before

the breakfast was excellent and plentiful

we also loved the pool and sunbathing area

location, free transfer to funchal city center, really close to beaches and pool complex

the pool is great too plenty of free sunbeds, no stress about finding a spot, and breakfast is the same: always space and a calm atmosphere

the building, very nice location, breakfast was very good, staff were friendly and has a shuttle bus to take you into funchal

shuttle bus system to funchal worked very well but you do need to book in advance both ways

pool side bar was really nice - great views and great food

garden, flowers, garden view, big bed, piano which we can play, pool bar with dinner

staff, food, drink, pool, cleanliness of the hotel

those outside the sports bar were much more comfortable for us

crown jewel of this hotel (aside from the fabulous pool) has to be the reception floor with the bar

it would have been nice to have music playing around the pool

gym was old and incomplete, and the spa had some broken/unavailable facilities

breakfast was very tasty

should add a little bit more equipment to the gym, it does not need several bicycles or treadmills - just some cable machine or heavier dumbbell

shuttle bus didn't run on sundays or after 1830.

the gym was great, big space and enough equipment

en out), squas, tennis, sauna, gym etc

i thought the spa was expensive and the list of treatments should have the prices displayed.

our daily paper was not delivered to the room, there was a shortage of staff in the breakfast room, breakfast took for ever

or just spend you time at the pool, with amazing views

the inclusion of breakfast and dinner each day made the stay very enjoyable and the opportunity to book at desarma

we used the spa facilities and had a massage all of which was very good

big bedrooms, great breakfast

the hotel is really amazing - we spent 1 week here and enjoyed the indoor pool, the gym, the sauna, turkish bath, the outdoor pool, the sandy beach just outside
