Hotels Near Lagoa do Bardo in Porto Moniz

Je suis très partagé par cet établissement. D'un côté, l'emplacement est parfait. A la fois sur l'île car il permet d'accéder à toute l'île très rapidement par les voies rapides, alors que situé à bonne distance de Funchal. Isolé, l'endroit est parfaitement calme. La vue est époustouflante au bord d'un apique vertigineux. Le couchés de soleil sont justes splendides. Côté hostellerie, nous étions dans les appartements sous le bâtiment principal. C'est grand et bien équipé. Mal insonorisés, on entend tout ce qui se passe à côté... Mais c'est propre bien que défraichi, et le ménage quotidien est bien fait. Pas de Wifi en dehors de l'établissement principal. A notre époque c'est quand même dommage. Côté accueil, aucun effort particulier n'est fait. Que cela soit à l'accueil, dans le restaurant. Pas de sourires... êtes-vous content de faire ce boulot ? C'est à se demander. Quel dommage ! Côté restauration. Au secours. Il faut réserver avant 13h pour le diner au restaurant. Enfin, à la cantine plutôt. Vous serez en présence d'un buffet. Les plats sont approximatifs, sans imagination, sans soin ni techniques de base. Tout est insipide. Au petit déjeuner, les pains peuvent dater de la veille. Les croissants : mieux vaut ne pas en proposer lorsque c'est si mauvais, voir rassit. Le soir la terrasse qui offre un décor de rêve, serait certainement pleine, si un service souriant, et avec quelques boissons un peu imaginatives étaient proposées. Mais rien de tout ça... Bref pour y dormir entre deux journées de randonnées, c'est top. Pour le reste...

the hotel area is very neat. The pool is clean. The staff at the reception are polite and friendly. The rooms are neat, small. We got a garden room, but it didn't feel like a garden. It was just a lawn and a view of a green fence. The bathroom is tidy, towels are changed upon request. The hotel is very quiet, beautiful views of the sea and mountains can be seen from the windows. There was no microwave or kettle in the room. The breakfast is delicious, a small but filling selection. VERY SMALL SELECTION OF FOOD IN THE HOTEL RESTAURANT. JUST PASTA AND SALAD. So those who want to have dinner will have to travel closer to the sea to cafes.

Hotel au milieu de la montagne, jolies vues, très bons repas, personnel très gentil Un peu vieux en terme de deco, nous avons eu froid dans la pièce commune et en dormant (manque de couverture), lit très inconfortable…

The bus stops nearby, but the staff take a walk if needed. The rooms are large, spacious, clean and warm. Breakfast is excellent, in our case we were only in 5 in the hotel so for each extra you could ask. Ex-cracked eggs, pancakes, etc. You can order a packed lunch, be careful with the bread. They write SANDWICH and it is with our bagleaf bread. Say you want the bread in a case made at home. That's great. Excellent dinner with various choices. Excellent prices. There is a small bar with Madeira's handicraft beers for the aperitif. I strongly advise this hotel!

Excelent choice for our stay in Madeira. The hotel is located in a natural botanical garden - some will count this as a minus, but I disagree. On our arrival, at 2AM - Bolt cost was 25USD (31kms). Excelent service, very clean, lots of activities and friendly staff. Totally recommended.

Our experience of the hotel was enhanced by our meal in the restaurant, which I have reviewed separately. My favourite thing about the room was the enclosed balcony. It was like having a private yoga studio in the sky. (Fellow yogis note, the floor was slippery.) I also enjoyed the spectacular view from the Sauna, which at the time was free because it was not working optimally. (So do ask!) It was good enough for me, but it took over an hour to heat up. The Pool looked too small and shallow to actually swim in, but mostly it was unusable as it was colder than the sea. I don’t know if this was usual. Breakfast was fairly similar to ones we had at other Madeira hotels, but this place had the tastiest selection of fresh bread rolls and very good garlicky mushrooms. The room was clean. We liked the 3-section recycling bin in the room. Others mentioned lack of plugs for phones. Erm... we knew about that but were surprised to find that there were not enough plugs for the room items. The Kettle and TV had to share a wall outlet. They really should consider supplying an extension lead, which could be given out and collected at check-in, just as they (bizarrely) do with the TV remote control. We did start off on a rather bad note. At check in, we were downright ignored. One receptionist was settling a dispute with another guest, but both members of staff deliberately avoided any sort of eye contact with us. I don't normally notice this sort of thing, but it was rude and infuriating and lasted some time. A simple nod would have sufficed. I’ll put this down to a bad day for the first member of staff, who later was helpful. After a long wait for no discernible reason, the other receptionist demanded payment before we had even seen the room, for which we had paid in advance. We've stayed at many places who use multiple booking sites. Sometimes you pay on arrival, sometimes beforehand, and we understand that the hotel needs to know. However, there are ways of asking that don't come across as offensive and like one is trying to get away with something. Not everyone is out to steal the remote control. Make sure you bring proof of payment if you’ve paid in advance, as we had. The hotel is lucky that they have out of this world views.
