Enotel Sunset Bay

I když jsme na Madeiru přijeli spíše poznávat zdejší krajinu a ne za koupáním, bylo příjemné se každé ráno dívat z okna na pláž. Pokoj byl velmi hezký, prostorný a čistý, vždy perfektně uklizený. Personál byl příjemný, vždy ochotný pomoci. K snídani bylo k výběru vždy velké množství různého jídla, vše bylo čerstvé a chutné. Pokud budu mít v budoucnu ještě někdy cestu na Madeiru, ubytovala bych se v tomto hotelu ráda znovu.

Zůstali jsme v tomto hotelu několikrát v posledních letech na krátké přestávky. . t je čistý a pohodlný. Vybíráme pokoj s výhledem na moře s balkonem. Personál je ochotný a zdvořilý. Snídaně je výborná s vařenými omelety na objednávku.

We had a very good experience at this hotel, where we spent 2 nights. In particular, my wife, who has coeliac disease and needs gluten-free food, received the best treatment we have ever had in Portugal.  In the morning, the chef was perfectly aware of her special needs. He made sure she found two different cakes in a dedicated area with a clear gluten-free sign (also available to other guests) and prepared fresh gluten-free banana pancakes for her.  The hotel is perfectly located right in front of the beach, with an indoor pool that is ideal for a swim after trying the sea of Madeira, which is not exactly a paradise for swimming. It also features a nice terrace with sunbeds to relax on and a mini spa.  The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean.  This place is highly recommended for your stay while exploring the island.

We had a great overnight stay here, wish we could’ve stayed longer! The location is superb, right on the ocean front within minutes walk of all the major sights of Porto do Sol. Small markets and eateries just out in front of the hotel. There is a good, free, secure parking area beneath the hotel. Our room was huge, bright, and airy with beautiful ocean views. Everything was clean and comfortable. We had a small fridge, smart TV, and good internet connection. The buffet breakfast was excellent, pretty much everything you could ever want, plus some. We made use of the fitness room one morning and found it to be very basic, barely useable. There were two pieces of cardio gear, plus a very poorly maintained cable multigym, and a few random dumbbells of up to 8kg – and not even matching pairs! One of the highlights was the rooftop terrace which has comfortable seating and deck chairs/umbrellas where you can enjoy the sea views in the evening sunlight. Overall we had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend this place to other travelers.

Nice hotel in a quiet location. Ideal if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Funchal. Our room was clean and spacious but I was surprised that our balcony was not cleaned during our stay. Pigeon poop! The breakfast was generally good with a wide selection of which to choose from. We ate dinner in the restaurant once, it was ok. I thought the idea of 'Show Cooking' is that the food is cooked for you while you wait, but we just had two previously cooked steaks warmed up in front of us! Bit bizarre. Sun Spot Cafe was our go to place. Lovely food and great view. We also walked the Levada Moinho & Nova. Steep walk to the start of these, but worth it. Be wary booking the hikes through MB Tours. Ours got cancelled at the top of Pico Do Arieiro before we had even started the paid for trail. Communication was not great and some people in our group were not in the best of health to be taking on a hike like this. Overall we did enjoy our stay
