Warning: this is not a 4-star hotel as listed on Hotels.com – it’s only a 2-star!
First of all, there’s no air conditioning – and in hot weather, that’s absolutely essential!
Also, even though it's not the hotel's fault, in June there were major roadworks happening right below the windows.
Work started before 8 a.m. and continued until late in the evening – and in some spots (very audible!), workers were even active at night to speed things up!
Earplugs were absolutely necessary to get any sleep.
Almost all the restaurants nearby were closed, likely due to the construction – they were inaccessible and everything was covered in dust, so no terrace dining either.
One thing we really appreciated, though, was the warm jacuzzi and the pool with a beautiful sunset view.
Breakfast was decent for a 2-star hotel.
But the price for what is in fact a 2-star was higher than what we paid for a 5-star in Funchal – €296 for 2 nights.
Had I known it wasn’t a true 4-star, I wouldn’t have booked at that price.
