Estalagem do Mar

+ all rooms have a sea view + outdoor pool, indoor pool, sauna + large breakfast buffet with a sea view + very friendly reception, service + room service every morning - hotel a bit run down, a lot could be renovated

Wir sind gerade Vorort. Gebucht haben wir über CHECK24 ein 4*Hotel. Ist es aber, wahrscheinlich nicht Mal ein 3* Hotel. Gebucht haben wir eine Junior Suite, meiner Meinung nach ein Dreibettzimmer, nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Es gibt nicht Mal eine Kühlschrank. Zimmer ist teils renoviert. Bad ist neu. Rest könnte noch renoviert werden. Viele Gebrauchsspuren bis kaputt. Wir haben zum Glück nur mit Frühstück gebucht, naja was soll ich sagen, es ist weit weg von ausgewogen und abweichungsreich. Seit einer Woche immer das Gleiche. Sehr schade, dass man sich so wenig Mühe gibt. Indoor-Pool ist eiskalt auch der Jaccuzzi bitterkalt. Sauberkeit ist okay,Zimmer werden täglich gereinigt nur die Fenster sind sehr schmutzig. Seis im Zimmer oder auch im Restaurant. Parkplätze hat es reichlich. Auch ein altes Fitnessstudio und dein Tennisplatz ist vorhanden.

Top location and the view of the sea is just amazing... Fantastic. The condition of the hotel is very worn out. Whether it's doors that don't close properly, leaky windows in the restaurant area, peeling plaster, worn armchairs/sofas or tripping hazards. The hotel is being renovated, the pool area and the rooms are also being renovated. Our room was functional. Hygiene should be worked on, especially in the bathroom and floor. We had the feeling that they had only swept and not mopped. The shower, on the other hand, was very modern in design but nothing more. The bathroom always had a smell from the drain. We had half board + breakfast was enough for us with various rolls, cheese, fruit, eggs, coffee, tea, juice, cereal, jams, hearty hot meals. In the evening there was always soup, fish, meat, vegetarian and vegetable side dishes as well as various salads and changing dessert/ice cream. In about 10 minutes you can reach a regional supermarket, bars, restaurants and cafés are also right there. There are plenty of free parking spaces at the hotel. You can also rent a car from the hotel.

Hotel in the shadow of a large mountain, right by the ocean. The absolute lack of sun (at least in February) means that the ocean breeze does not dry out and moisture is everywhere in the hotel. Unfortunately, also in the room, things get damp after just one day, opening the windows does not help. The rooms were cleaned very cursorily, towels were changed and beds were made. Nobody washes the floor. When ants came into a dead cockroach (the size of half the size of a hand!) at night and we killed hundreds of them, it stayed there for three days and only the second intervention at the reception resulted in washing the floor. The first time I was given a broom and told that I had to clean it myself. Breakfasts were terrible (scrambled eggs made of powdered eggs), dinners were surprisingly good. In one word - Madeira is wonderful, I do not recommend the hotel even as a base.

Beautiful location between sea and mountains, the hotel is really well located. However, despite visible cooling, humidity felt (example: smell of pillows, smell of pipes in the bathroom). Decent bedding (very firm mattress) despite yellow sheets, far from white, a bathroom that is not ventilated and noisy enough, a very low sink, no power outlets in the bathroom, non-existent product support in the shower, no supports to hang out your towels after a trip to the pool, finally the air conditioning is weak. Paid safe. Sad staff, not very smiling (this may be the daily harshness). Uninviting indoor pool, exterior paint and windows require a good refresh. Balcony drains need to be cleaned. Green growths come out of the pipes and give a disgusting picture (to the rhythm of a drip). Woke up every morning at 8:30 a.m. by the cleaning ladies' trolleys, too bad. In short, it's disappointing because the site is magnificent. After opening the bedroom door opening onto the outdoor swimming pool, waking up early to the sound of the waves is magical. As for meals, these are very very simple and could be compared to those served in a low-level canteen. The dining room is overheated, noisy and cannot be really ventilated (only two windows open to the outside, as well as two doors). The chairs are too low and uncomfortable. The tablecloths on the tables are often stained. If you want to eat outside, it is possible, but on very old supports (some tables are wobbly and make the meal unpleasant). Three parasols fight a duel. Their supports are also very tired. Complete breakfasts for those who like savory foods (eggs, sausages, cold meats), but we have not tested them. Breads, pastries, butter are low levels (without flavors). No chocolate (Nutella type), bland teas (only two choices offered), coffee and industrial orange juice. Dinner: very soft, with fish (often smelly), starters made from leftovers from the day before, meat often very tough, vegetables often undercooked, rice, pasta, without sauces...desserts: unfortunately not very reassuring (colored jellies , flank, a single flavor of ice cream, a fruit salad, etc.) This set will be offered to you every evening. In short, after two days, you are no longer surprised. Beyond the fact that you have little or no choice, sometimes you try a new cake, unfortunately not yet defrosted. So this is of course edible but sorry, very often disappointing, bland, or even not good at all. for a three star, we are disappointed. In summary, apart from the incredible view, move on.

Ein sehr gutes Hotel der ***-Klasse. Alles was man erwartet ist da und passt. Die Lage und Aussicht ist fantastisch, passt. Zentrale Lage im Norden der Insel, ideal für die Erkundung der Nordseite der Insel. Nebenbei: Parkplätze kein Thema

We had booked since the end of 2022 for 14 nights + 1 rental car. 15 days before departure, we are excluded because the hotel practices overbooking and has taken more reservations than its capacity. Fortunately our travel agent is responsive and “replaced” us elsewhere. Un-Catholic methods! Don't count on them! Lack of professionalism.
