8/10 Very good

There's nothing special to do in the mountain area and the morning is pretty cloudy without view, also there's no view from the room. I expected to have better aroma in the room and in the pool and lobby area. The bad was soft and comfortable, the bath kit was nice, and the breakfast was good.

Excellent apart from the ants
Room 301 in the main house is a lovely room with Juliet balcony and separate large outdoor terrace. The room is spacious with two armchairs and very comfortable bed. This would have been a top-notch five-star rating had it not been for the invasion of a few thousand ants. It took me and the horrified housekeeping staff an hour to clean them from a bag and the chair it was on. The dismissive response from the front desk was "oh yes, they come in when it rains."

Ok Hotel but needed improvement to be a 4star hote
I spent two days in the hotel. Considerations: 1.Sauna not working and No instruction on how make it work,só instructions could improve. 2. massage need to be booked 24h in advance, which is fine but sometimes you just need in the next few hours which would be nice 3. Smell of the aromatic essences could be more neutral - the smell was bothering so much that made me wake up several times on the first night until I get used to it. Honestly, it shouldn’t be needed those kind of aromas 4. Noise, the guest on the next room was sick and sneezing the whole second night, the room should have acoustics treatment 5. They do not provide conditioner, I would expect that from a 4 star hotel - so bring your own 6. Breakfast. Could be much better, specially the juices, they could be fresh and not box. Coffee is very week, so on the second night I decided to order something else instead of having their filtered coffee. 6. Croissant and pain au chocolate should be fresh, Food options could be more authentic and explore the Portuguese coiousine it is fine to have French or English breakfast if they are well made, the pastel de nata was delicious. I would recommend they order authentic things from a padaria (cassetinho for instance)

Relaxing hotel, excellent restaurant
A friendly hotel in the hills of Madeira, a 15 minute drive from the airport. Quiet, relaxing, good breakfast, the restaurant serves excellent (simple) dinners, the old block is lovely.

Great place. Quiet . Perfect for rest!!
Hotel is verry nice. Great place to forget about every day life. Beautiful area. Quiet. Amazing people work in. I had a morning flight and breakfast was ready especially for us!! Btw. It was amazing breakfast. The only one think i didnt like was paid afternoon tea which should be free but this is just a tip to management.

Luxury and character combined!
My wife and I needed last minute accommodation following a flight cancellation. We booked a night here and were treated so kindly from the moment I called to confirm our room type to checkout. We both wished we had spent more time in this beautiful room during our honeymoon and will look to stay here upon our return to Madeira.

8/10 Very good

A good centre for discovering Madeira but the location of the hotel seems to result in it being under cloud a lot. If you go up to the mountains or down to the beach you find sun. For 5 of our 7 days the hotel was in cloud. This may be unusual but check it out further. Staff we're friendly and helpful when asked advice. Not much forthcoming of their on volition though.

Charming hotel
It was a good decision chooosing to stay out of the City of Funchal and stay at this charming hotel with tranquil atmosphere that i feel well rested during my 4 night stay. The Staff were very friendly especially at the Restaurant, clean and spacious room, comfy bed, and it's also a big plus with Restaurant: serving good and traditional food. The breakfast buffet offers good choices of fresh fruits, fresh bread sortiments, home-made jam and their tasty omelet is never to miss. Some points for improvements would be with the safe, which is an old school system, we were told to pay extra 1.50€ per day and get the key at the reception, secondly: the wifi is slow, another thing: some of the pillow were very hard and heavy and were not comfortable at all.

Lovely cozy hotel up the mountains
Stayed at the Porto Bay Serra Hotel for 4 nights. Great location, high up in the mountains, very quiet and peaceful, 10 minutes away from the airport right next to a beautiful golf course. The hotel is very small and cozy exactly what I was looking for. The rooms are dated but ok. Great value for your money (I paid $ 60/night) breakfast was included and was very nice too. Staff was very friendly but limited. It is for sure a great hotel for golfers or if you like to be outside the city (12 km away from Funchal) The hotel does NOT have any AC. There is nobody to help you with your lugguage.
