Matkat – Garajau

We stayed in this Appart hotel for 1 week. I must recognise personnel is very friendly , especially Helder who was helpful and prompt in our requests of support. Pool downstairs is nice and calm. Buffet at dinner is of high quality. The only drawback from our point of view is the kitchen having only one cooker and not many stoves, cutleries and pans for anything more than just a small and quick breakfast.

Mooi, proper hotel. De kamers zijn wat verouderd, maar wel heel ruim. Vriendelijk personeel. Het buffet is lekker. Niet te uitgebreid, maar wel steeds voldoende keuze en elke dag iets anders. Voor vegetariërs ook genoeg opties! We vonden dit een goed hotel als uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes naar de verschillende wandelingen. Tour operators komen je hier uithalen voor daguitstappen en je zit nog redelijk dicht bij het oude centrum van Funchal (gemakkelijk met taxi of Uber, te voet een 5-tal km). Doordat we elke dag uitstappen deden, hebben we nooit een volledige dag in het hotel doorgebracht.

Stayed here over the new year for about a week. Overall a nice experience. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is good and the ocean view from the balcony is beautiful. I really enjoyed the breakfast as well, it has a lot of options to choose from and there was sparkling wine available every morning. I only had two minor issues with the room. The pillows were a bit hard for me personally. And the bed is not a real double bed, but two small beds next to each other. And although the staff did provide us with a large mattress on top, it still isn’t quite the same thing as a real double bed. But these are minor things and the overall experience in the hotel was very nice. I can recommend this hotel.

Best staff, beautiful place and great atmosphere!
