Apartment di Madeira, Portugal

Staff friendly & accommodating. Cleaning efficient/trustworthy. Bedding comfortable. Kitchenette acceptable. Breakfast buffet O Classico Restaurant connected to hotel - fresh & delicious. Location - A+. Rooms offer full or side ocean view. Easy access to seaside promenade. The Forum shopping mall right across street; bus stop (bus #1 or #2 - 15 minute to downtown Funchal) directly in front of hotel. Welcoming pool area - drinks/food served at pool’s cafe/bar. Duas Torres’s prices competitive with nearby hotels; O Classico menu on high side, but food/service is outstanding. Definitely will return.

In the middle of a ten day holiday at this hotel. It is a lovely, clean, small and friendly hotel in an excellent central location. Our self-catering room with balcony is huge, with all you need to make yourself comfortable for a short or long stay. There is a very reasonably priced little supermarket next door .The beds are perfect for a good nights sleep and it's lovely to have a bath aswell as a shower. The rooftop pool area is a bonus and kept very clean. The manager is very friendly and has a great sense of humour. We are here during an unexpected heatwave and having to sleep with the windows and doors open ( fans are available) and yes there is traffic noise but I was aware that I was booking a central city location and have earplugs. If I wanted peace and quiet I would have booked a rural hotel. Having said that the hotel itself is very quiet, we can't hear other guests/staff coming and going. Overall we are glad we chose this hotel for our first trip to Funchal .

We spend 8 days at the apartments and loved it. The rooms are a nice size, with most of what you need to self cater. We would often pop down to the mini supermarket/bar/café for a coffee/ pastry/beer/wine/water... The staff were friendly and the rooms made up every day, with towels changed every other day and bedding every 4th day. The aforementioned was very clean. A nice walk into Funchal or along the promonaide in the other direction. Walking to the far end of Funchal was about 25 minutes. Beds were single beds, but easy to push together. You get pots,pan, plates, kettle, cork screw, cutlery, but don't forget washing up liquid and cloth. Small gel and shampoo supplied. Beach towels were extra to hire. Rooms have no air conditioning, not that we needed it. It felt pretty special in Funchal with everything Christmas still on display and all lit up in the evening until Sunday 8th Jan when it was all packed away. Hired a car from Madpoint (Recommend them!!) In the local shopping mall, for a couple of days which allows you to visit most of the island. The apartments were really good value. Overall an excellent experience

The hotel is in Lido area with plenty of restaurants and small super markets near by. Only 3 mins walk to bus top where can bring you to City Center €1.95 single one way and airport. €5 single one way, €8 return. Walking to City center is about 20-30mins. Only 10mins walk to Forum Madeira shopping mall. Breakfast is good with many choices of fruit, salad, yogurt, ham, eggs, bread, cereals. Indoor, outdoor pool and gym are nice too. We stay in sea and swimming pool view studio with kitchenette. The balcony is wonderful. Staffs are polite and patient. Only one con, no air conditioning in 31 degrees. Only have a ceiling fan.

I am currently enjoying my last full day at the hotel with my family. It was the ideal location and hotel to spend family holidays with a 3-year old toddler. The hotel itself is conveniently located a few meters away from the beach. The apartments were renovated recently and are well equipped with 2 lcd big screen tvs and AC. The bed itself is super comfortable and there’s a sofa bed which is handy. All of the ambience is super relaxed and calm. All of the staff at the reception, bars and restaurant is very friendly and welcoming, always doing their best to accommodate their guests. Just to give one example, one of the pool bar attendants went to the breakfast kitchen (which was closed in the afternoon) just to get a yogurt for our toddler. We also had an issue with our room and were promptly given the option to move. The meals are one of the best things in this hotel. Every lunch there are freshly grilled fish and meat options by the pool. They also have other a-la-carte options throughout the day. Dinner is superb, every night a different 3 course gourmet meal, served at the restaurant. They cater different meals for the kids as well, if necessary. The all inclusive plus option is definitely worthy, because it gives us access to all of this and much more, like access to the spa, sun beds at the beach and late checkout (still to be seen tomorrow). For those who look for more animation and fun, there’s full access to the Vila Baleira Hotel which is at a walking distance. I definitely will recommend Vila Baleira Suites to my friends and family, and hope to return in the future.

Enjoyed 7 nights at the Florasol Hotel, had requested high floor we were on the top floor( 12th) and had a one bed room apar**ent which was bright and modern with sea view from balcony in both lounge & bedroom, apar**ent was spacious and comfortable with a wardrobe and storage in both rooms, had breakfast which was continental, had a good choice with some hot food beans ,sausages and an egg station for omelettes or fried & scrambled eggs, lovely freshly baked bread. Bar/ dining room has a good outside courtyard area ,there was a nice pool area. Was around 30 mins walk to Funchal or a short bus ride ,lots of nice restaurants in the area, hired a car for 2 days to see more of the Island

We were here for 14 days. Simple clean rooms with private bathrooms. The device shows signs of use, but nothing that would bother. A rental car can be parked for a fee, and there are paid parking zones all around. The car park is small, not suitable for larger cars. Very nice and helpful staff at the reception. Breakfast buffet, rich selection, just the same every day. However, you can gradually put together a different breakfast for each day. Large selection of local fruit. Rooftop heated and clean pool and jacuzzi. Sauna for a fee. The downside is the location of the hotel on a one way street uphill, very noisy during the day with the window open. The windows insulate well. Rooms also have air conditioning.

Had a good two nights stay in the Pestana ****** Studios as part of a group walking trip. Rooms were ok, but a bit tired and on a cross road of two roads so there was quite a lot of road noise. There was a small outdoor pool and loungers, but you also got access to the large ****** hotel opposite which has an amazing pool and indoor area with pool, sauna, steam rooms, jacuzzi etc, so we didnt use the pool at the studios. The breakfast is also across the road at the ****** hotel which is really good, but can get very busy later on. Helpful friendly reception and can store luggage is needed.
