The hotel is very nice, it is clean, rooms are spacious with necessary amenities. It is in a great location with a bus stop outside on the street and 20/25 minute walk into town. The views from our balcony over the gardens was beautiful. In February it was very quiet and peaceful. The majority of visitors were seniors with some couples and families. We went on a half board basis with buffet dining and the option to book into the alla carte restaurant. We were only able to book once as our choice was full and one restaurant wasn't open the whole week. The buffet food was OK, as expected. The staff were on the whole friendly and helpful. The bar man was a bit if a diva, he had a complete melt down on our last night as he had no support. There are plenty of restaurants and places to drink. Places further out where the locals eat and drink were fantastic, friendly and brilliant priced. Touristy places were good and priced for tourists but not ridiculous. We got a taxi from Câmara de lobos on 2 days that we walked there. It cost 13 and 16 euros which we thought was reasonable. There is no sandy beach, you can swim in the sea if visiting the Lido's. Be warned, bring your comfiest walking shoes, streets are mostly cobbles and it is very very steep. We didn't use the buses, although there seemed to be plenty of them. It's a lovely place for a holiday. The greenery is gorgeous, one of my favourite days was walking the levada, the views were fantastic, if you are not worried about heights. The 2 cable cars are fun and worth doing, but check the port news for when there are no cruise ships, otherwise the queues are ridiculous. We did the famous wicker toboggan ride that can be found in Monte at the top of the cable car. It cost us (a couple) 35 euros and it was great fun. There are plenty if tours available that I think seemed quite reasonable, but we didn't partake.
