Very suitable for vacation, there are many projects in the hotel. The food is also very good. Very suitable for taking pictures.

Great hotel! We really enjoyed our holiday at the hotel. It's a whole city! There's a promenade and several swimming pools. The food is top notch! You can have a buffet, you can go to restaurants, and there's even a coffee shop with delicious coffee! We spent our evenings at the bar, drinking delicious cocktails and dancing. There's a beautiful trail nearby - Cape Sao Lourenco. There's a shuttle to Funchal, which is very convenient. We'll definitely come back again!

Beautiful location. Splash pool and sauna unfortunately still not ready when we visited. Other services great though. Good selection of bars. In general good selection of food although we found the different restaurant a bit disappointing; it was mostly the same food as the buffet, only presented nicely. Apart from the check in where the reception kept accusing us of booking the wrong room for a family (we didn’t) generally great service.

The spa experience and facilities are amazing and of a high standard. Marlene and Claudia made the massage experience very relaxing yet beneficial.

Wir waren nun schon zum zweiten Mal in diesem 5-Sterne-Hotel und möchten unsere Eindrücke teilen. Beim ersten Besuch im Dezember 2025 war alles wirklich perfekt: Wir hatten ein wunderschönes Zimmer in der „Adults Only“-Kategorie mit Meerblick, das sehr groß und geschmackvoll eingerichtet war. Bereits bei der Ankunft wurden unsere Koffer vom Personal aufs Zimmer gebracht, und zur Begrüßung gab es ein erfrischendes Getränk – ein toller Start in den Aufenthalt! Besonders angenehm fanden wir, dass wir im Voraus in vielen der hoteleigenen Restaurants Abendessen reservieren konnten. Die gesamte Atmosphäre war ruhig und entspannt, genau so, wie man es sich von einem Urlaub in einem Luxus-Hotel vorstellt. Beim zweiten Aufenthalt im Juli 2025 mussten wir leider einige Abstriche machen: Unsere Koffer mussten wir diesmal selbst ins Zimmer tragen, ein Begrüßungsgetränk gab es entgegen der Angaben auf der Webseite nicht. Wer schon einmal Gast war, wird an der Rezeption nicht speziell begrüßt oder bewusst wahrgenommen, was für uns enttäuschend war. Auch das Zimmer in der „Adults Only“-Kategorie mit Meerblick entsprach nicht unseren Erwartungen. Ein unangenehmer Abflussgeruch störte die Atmosphäre, und der Meerblick war kaum vorhanden, da direkt vor unserem Zimmer ein großes Zelt für Hochzeiten aufgebaut war. Ein großes Manko war außerdem die Restaurantreservierung: Um einen Tisch zu bekommen, mussten wir mit einem Wecker frühmorgens vor 8 Uhr aufstehen, da die Plätze sonst sofort ausgebucht sind. Das Wochenende wurde dann durch eine Hochzeit komplett überschattet – die Musik war so laut, dass wir die letzte Nacht quasi keinen Schlaf finden konnten. Am Abreisetag waren wir dementsprechend müde und erschöpft, statt erholt. Das Personal an der Rezeption zeigte keinerlei Verständnis oder Entschuldigung, eine Nachfrage, wie unser Aufenthalt war, gab es nicht. Das hinterlässt leider einen sehr unpersönlichen Eindruck. Positiv hervorheben möchten wir jedoch das Servicepersonal in den Restaurants, Cafés und an der Bar. Die Bedienungen waren stets sehr freundlich, bemüht und professionell. Das Essen hat gut geschmeckt, und die Cocktails an der Bar wurden frisch und mit viel Sorgfalt zubereitet. Auffällig war auch, dass viele Mitarbeiter indischer Herkunft sind, was möglicherweise Teil eines speziellen Projekts ist. Sie waren allesamt sehr nett und haben ihren Job mit großem Einsatz gemacht. Fazit: Das Hotel hat definitiv Potenzial und bietet tolle Leistungen, vor allem bei gutem Wetter und wenn keine großen Veranstaltungen stattfinden. Allerdings hat die Qualität seit unserem letzten Aufenthalt im Dezember leider nachgelassen, besonders was Service und Zimmer betrifft. Für uns persönlich war der Juli-Aufenthalt eine enttäuschende Erfahrung, weshalb wir uns gut überlegen, ob wir ein drittes Mal buchen würden. Eher nicht.

On very windy part of island but not geared up for it. Cushions not tied down to chairs - the chairs are stacked and therefore you cannot use them. Pool and surrounding area not cleaned enough. Food and trays strewn across. Lots of staff around but only 1 or 2 taking orders, making drinks, and others just standing around watching the queues. A la carte restaurants always got something wrong with our order and booking system is terrible. Restaurants regularly ran out of food half hour after they opened. I didn’t find any staff approachable or friendly. Severe language barrier. Preferred club not worth it, ants in rooms, amenities not replenished or even there in the first place. Snacks not replaced in the lounge. There are waiters in the buffet but they do not assist you with finding a table, or anything you need, they only clear plates (slowly). Kids club was good as was the coffee shop. Entertainment was very poor. Resort has potential but it should not be open until issues are all addressed. First and last time ever trying a Hyatt resort, and we travel 6-7 times a year. Do not book, otherwise you will spend time trying to feel on holiday as opposed to that lovely feeling of being on holiday and feeling relaxed. Service falls down here and you spend your time asking for things you should already have. Staff and management do not care if you are or are not having a good time.

This hotel is in a stunning location. The hotel itself is like a little village. It has the potential to be a five star establishment but is far from that at the moment. We stayed for 10 nights and had 3 rooms, all in the preferred rooms.  The rooms are spacious but also inconsistent in the items provided. Some had no towels, another no face clothes, pool towels missing.  The refilling of the mini bar was not done unless we phoned and complained. That might sound trivial, but the rooms were up a very steep hill in block 6, there was a swim up pool for the rooms so we spent most afternoons up there and needed the drinks in the mini bar, otherwise it was a long walk down and up the hills. The pools at the hotel were all very cold. No good for toddlers as they had blue lips after about 10 minutes. There is not really any other activities for young children, the adventure zone allows them in for an hour twice a day but there is not much for them to play with. It would have been nice to have a toddler playground. The splash pad was at the top of the hill and cold as exposed to the winds and again, very cold water. Restaurants were "interesting". The world cafe buffet was not good at all. Food barely luke warm and lots of flies. The other restaurants needed to be booked on the app at 8am each day. We managed to book one of them for most days, the service was hit and miss. Sabor was a good option for lunchtime and Pablo and Hassan were excellent. A few weeks before arriving I had exchanged emails with the hotel to arrange a reservation at Sabor for my daughter's birthday, along with the table to be decorated and a birthday cake. I checked these with the guest experience team once at the hotel and they confirmed them. The day before the booking I received a notification on the app saying they couldn't decorate the table as they were short staffed, but would supply other amenities to make it a memorable celebration.  Well, it was memorable but all for the wrong reasons. No decorations, no amenities and no cake! I complained to the concierge in the preferred lounge, they asked the F&B manager to speak to me. He turned up and said it was a miscommunication. That really isn't good enough. He said the manager would contact me the following day regarding my complaint.....I am still waiting. My daughter had water dripping through the ceiling in her room for 3 days. Despite numerous calls and visits to reception to complain, no one did anything about it and I suspect it is still dripping! The management clearly don't care. The staff just say yes to guests and then nothing happens. It also shows lack of care that they do not acknowledge any reviews here on TripAdvisor.
