a very big mention for telma costa at the il gallo d’oro restaurant as she had raised the bar of offering an exceptional service and made a difference in our stay

infinity pool with loungers and bar never busy

great infinity pool

d worth the higher price tag)

view from the room, the room itself, clear and safe access to the ocean, helpful staff, beautiful breakfast, served in probably one of the best sports in the madeira island

the quality of food and its presentation is superb, so much so that we ate in the restaurant all bar 3 nights

the lounge and bar were comfortable and we enjoyed playing table-tennis and pool

an unusual feature of the bar is a define your own happy hour policy

setting and rooms are lovely the bar area is a beautiful setting, breakfast and dinner is delicious but what puts this property over

i went to the cocktail bar for a nightcap and it was the best whiskey sour i've ever had, and very professional bar

cocktails in the cocktail bar were average.

the selection was fine the food was somewhat cool from the servery hence we frequented the pool bar most often

view from the room, the public area, restaurants and bar was all fabulous

the pool bar food and drinks were really nice and cheap enough considering its in a hotel

shortages meant that the bar services may be a bit slow, but those on duty did a good job of trying to keep up

upstairs bar terrace is a little soulless - i feel it could be made more appealing.

3) very good bathroom + cosmetic 4) swimming pools, billiard, books, bar with music evening 5) service is good

no bar facility down at atlantic pool level so nowhere to order a drink if sunbathing there

amazing terrace pool and bar on top floor

location excellent evening meal restaurant was excellent as was the rooftop bar for lunch

sides with tall glass frames to prevent the wind from blowing the pool lounge chairs across the bar and customers

the rooftop bar is the place for very sunny afternoons and breezy evenings

the cocktail bar could have stayed open a bit later.

used and enjoyed the bar area

ceptionists, cleaning staff, restaurant and bar staff, swimming-pool personnel, i hope i didn't miss anyone

very fine atmosphere in all hotel buildings we visited, including restaurants, bar and garden to old villa are accessible for all guests

) was a shame and bar got busy at night with a bit of a chaotic approach to ordering drinks, but struggling to think

was great, staff at pool bar were extremely slow but this didn t ruin my stay was just a little frustrating

too few reception staff and too few bar staff at times.
