I had an interesting first experience with an all-inclusive stay at this hotel. The old-style decor was charming, and despite being a bit dated, the room was functional and tidy. If you enjoy the all-inclusive style, this could be a great pick for you, although it wasn't my usual holiday style. The sea-facing room we requested was a highlight.

The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean and tastefully decorated with a lovely touch of complimentary Madeira wine and fresh fruit, but the dated design adds character that could be lost with a refurbishment. The service was friendly overall, although a bit standoffish at times. The location offered a peaceful ambiance with beautiful pool views, but lacked nearby attractions. The dining experience had some hit and miss dishes, including great salads and omelets, but also undercooked and fatty options. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
