Hotel was nice and clean but the service was atroucious. We were having our honeymoon trip to Madeira to celebrate the new years eve and watch the famous fireworks. The hotel provides guests with a rooftop that has quite spectacular view of Funchal and the fireworks. Appareny access to the rooftop on new years eve is limited to only guests that purchased their dinner. Staff failed to inform us about this policy and we ended up missing out. Yet the worst was the way staff handled the cab reservation. Not only they they made the original reservation that was inadequate considering traffic that night, the delay had mounted to 20 minutes and we were lucky to simply catch a cab on the street and make it to Airport at the last minute. There were multitude of other considetably smaller blunders during our stay. Overall, the main impression is that Staff has not the slightest idea of customer service. They are as much polite and nice to the guests as they are inept and slow. Suggestion to guests is to study their policies ahead of time and never to rely on their front desk for things that are time sensitive. Otherwise, location was terrific and the ocean view was excellent.
