Just returned from a week at this wonderful hotel. Situated a half hour bus ride (€2.10)from Funchal it has all the benefits of being in a small town with excellent establishments for eating out and yet not far from the main centre,Funchal. We had a Spa room which overlooked the sea but was situated within the beautiful gardens which overshadow... More

We stayed here for a week in January; and very pleasant it was too. The service at reception was excellent - nothing was ever too much trouble. We arrived a little early and as our room was not yet ready we were offered a free coffee at the on-site pool bar. When we were eventually given our room we were... More

First of all, the sunshine makes every place seem and feel better. Perhaps not surprising for early February, there wasn't a lot of it, therefore making full use of all the facilities that the Quinta Splendida had to offer was not possible. Outdoor pools and sunbeds aplenty being a couple of examples. I imagine later in the year this could... More

We rented for 3 nights one of the SPA-suites at the Buddha-Bar. And there is no regretfor that. in the first moment U think, it might be expensive. It's worth to have a look for special rates at maybe e-bookers.com. the suite had 70 qm, a very large and comfortable bed. design furniture, a real large flat-TV with DVD. U... More

This has been a lovely relaxing holiday. Quinta splendida is a great hotel. On arrival the man at reception was very helpful and we were shown to our room quickly. We had a nice big room with a great view from the balcony over the gardens and to the sea, the facilities were good, could of done with a microwave... More

We stayed for a week in November & cannot praise the gardens & staff highly enough. The hotel is mostly frequented by German guests but all the staff speak excellent English (in fact one confided in me he likes to speak English rather than German). Our holiday was half board which included a very good breakfast buffet with a very... More

We holidayed here for a week in October with my family ( eight yr old son ). This is a comfortable hotel with beautifully kept gardens a nice pool with a safe shallow end for children. The views are lovely although its a short distance to the beach. We went for the self catering option and found the local bakery... More

We used this hotel as our base for a short break away in November 2011. The reviews of the place were all good so I was expecting a good stay. We were not disappointed. The deal offered by the hotel was a good nightly rate (€60). There are a few extras that you need to consider but after discussing with... More

We stayed here for a week on a self catering basis as we got a great deal (c. £40 a night) and wanted to save a bit of money on catering (two local supermarkets and bakeries helped a lot). I agree with other comments that say how beautiful the hotel it, it it truely beautiful, especially if you find the... More
