ESTALAGEM DO VALE ^{* * * *}

Not a 4 star hotel at all, solidly 2-3 star.

The rooms are really outdated. Our tv was tiny and probably older than me. There was no mini fridge.
The doors only have one key so you can't split up for the day unless you want someone to be locked out of the room. The walls are not soundproof at all, no feeling of privacy.

Booking.com mentions it has two pools, one indoor and one outdoor, this is incorrect it is just an outdoor pool they can enclose during the colder months. The pool needs renovating as well as there are lots of chipped tiles you can scrape yourself on. You need to ask at the reception for pool towels which can run out it seems and are really old, we got one with 4 patches where holes had been patched up.
Did not have the impression the pool had been cleaned any time recently.

The gym is small and has badly maintained equipment, it has no added value. You'll get a better workout walking outside.

Do not get a massage here, it is a complete scam, i cannot emphasise this enough, do not.

Parking too small to accommodate the amount of guests in the off season.

The bartender was good but went on holiday after our second day there leaving noone who could make the cocktails on offer(4-5 euros/cocktail which was a decent price). Don't get the sandwich offered at the bar.

The ladies working the front desk were kind and helpful.

Breakfast here is fine, decent selection.

Its a decent place to reach the rest of the island due to its central location but there is very little to do near the hotel itself. If I were to return to Madeira I'd stay in Funchal, you'll have a much broader selection of places to go out in the evening.

Recently saw this review was taken down due to irrelivent information. Everything mentioned above is relivent to the stay we had.

Chambre correcte avec petite vue sur mer et montagnes beau et bon petit déjeuner personnel très gentil surtout le barman
Dommage resto fermé mais dépannage avec un service minimum

Waar ze die vier sterren vandaan hebben gehaald is ons een raadsel.
Hele mooie locatie wel!

Kleine gehorige kamers en sterk verouderd allemaal. Wel super vriendelijk personeel verder hoor! Al valt er wel nog een hoop winst te behalen in de bediening van het restaurant, gemiste kans!
Ontbijt was wel super!

Dit is een goed hotel voor mensen die een huurwagen bij hebben. Hier passeren geen taxi’s of bussen wat het moeilijker maakt om zich te verplaatsen. Onze kamer was al wat verouderd maar het was anders zeker een top hotel met een top uitzicht op de Vallei van Vicente. ????

Znakomity hotel położony w północnej części wyspy. Przepyszne śniadania i basen z pięknym widokiem na góry. Moim zdaniem dużo lepiej mieszkać na północy wyspy bo tam czuje się prawdziwy klimat Madery, pogoda bywa czasem słoneczna czasem mglista i deszczowa ale to właśnie nadaje temu miejscu urok. Sao Vincente w dzień przyciąga turystów z całej wyspy, a wieczorem pustoszeje i to jest niesamowite przechadzać się w takim miejscu w kompletnej ciszy i spokoju.
