Florasol Residence Hotel

“Fantastic sea view”

The staff were faultless, nothing was to much trouble, the room was large and the beds were very comfortable and a well equipped and clean kitchen and bathroom. Breakfast was great with fresh omelettes every morning and plenty of choice, We have already booked for next year.

This hotel is rated 3 1/2 stars and was half decent. A little dated but a friendly environment and a great staff. Location was great with a grocery store right down stairs. Make sure you get a room with mini kitchen and an ocean view. Shout out to Tanya in the breakfast buffet, she was very helpful… more

“Tired and dated, great location.”

Positives, staff very friendly and helpful. Reception made us very welcome and our maid, who we only used once did a first class job. Great sea view watching storms roll in and away, our room was comfortable. Negatives. A bit of maintenance is required, squeaking doors, bathroom has a sliding door … more

Positives, staff very friendly and helpful. Reception made us very welcome and our maid, who we only used once did a first class job. Great sea view watching storms roll in and away, our room was comfortable. Negatives. A bit of maintenance is required, squeaking doors, bathroom has a sliding door which isn’t really appropriate, both balconies are very small. There is an area on the wall near the door to one of the balconies where the plaster is blown and needs repairing. Whilst comfortable the apartment as with many areas needs updating. The kitchenette had most things required but there wasn’t a tea towel until the maid cleaned the room and there wasn’t a cork screw/bottle opener, we had to buy one! The food at breakfast was acceptable but without variation. Can’t comment on other catering as we ate out everyday. The pool area is plenty big enough but the beds need replacing (cushions do!), as they aren’t brought in when it rains and a couple even blew into the pool! Bar. Well it’s not what I would expect a bar to be as it is set to one side of the restaurant and doesn’t exactly look inviting. The location is excellent with plenty of bars and restaurants, easy access to promenades for walking and downtown Funchal is 15 minutes walk. Will we return? Possibly if there are improvements, but a return to Funchal is booked for October but not here. Thank you for your hospitality though.
