Super Lage, nah beim Flughafen

Sehr schönes Hotel, freundliches Personal, gutes Essen. Der Flughafen liegt so nah man könnte fast zu Fuß hin. Der Nachteil wenn man am Pool liegt hört man die Flieger enorm gut und das ziemlich oft. Aber nachts ist es ruhig.

Urlaub in Strand und Flughafennähe

Hotel sehr schön und modern. Sehr gutes Frühstück, jedoch täglich dasselbe. Sehr nahe am Flughafen gelegen (Fluglärm). Santa Cruz ist ein sehr schönes Dörfchen mit preiswerten und guten Restaurants. Personal an der Rezeption desinteressiert, unmotiviert, Informationen sind nur erhältlich wenn man fragt. Kein Willkommen oder gute Heimreise. Schade! Ausflüge in den Osten und Western unternommen. Teilweise lange Anfahrt morgens bis alle Teilnehmer aus andern Hotel eingesammelt waren und der Ausflug starten konnte. Madeira aber sehr empfehlenswert.

täydellinen näkymä

Ensimmäistä kertaa valitsin de luxe -huoneen ja se kannatti! Täydellinen näkymä valtamerelle, jota yölläkin heräsin katsomaan☺Pieni vinkki: valitse alacarte, älä buffettia suurinpiirtein samalla hinnalla erinomaista ruokaa. Ilmainen kuljetus Funchaliin useita kertoja päivässä.

auf der Blumeninsel

Das Hotel ist sauber und gepflegt. Das Essen hervorragend.Personal ist sehr Freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Die Lage des Hotels direkt am Meer ist wunderbar. Die Ringhörigkeit kann störend sein. Die Seepromenade ist auch für Mitmenschen mit Gehbehinderung oder Rollstuhl zum erkunden bestens geeignet. Ein kleiner Markt, wo es Einheimische Produkte zu kaufen gibt hat es auch . (Markthalle befindet sich an der Seepromenade ca. 10 gehminuten vom Hotel)) Gegenüber des Hotels gibt es 2 kleine Läden wo man sich mit Getränken,Ansichtskarten,Wanderkarten und Souvenieren eindecken kann. Briefmarken am besten bei der Post beziehn(Correo) ist in der Nähe der Kirche. Busfahrpläne sind an der Hotelrezeption erhältlich. Bushaltestelle ist ca.5 Min.entfernt. Ein Ticket nach Funchal kostet ca.2.80 Euro. Einige Ausflüge oder Aktivitäten können an der Rezeption reserviert und gebucht werden. (Bootsausflüge mit einer nachgebauten Caravelle+ Golf in Santo do Serra). Zum Wandern und Biken ein guter Ausgangspunkt. Am Abend gibts auch für Partygänger einiges zu entdecken. Der Wasserpark ist für Kinder interessant.ca.15 min. Fussmarsch.
