5-Star Hotel

This adults-only 5-star hotel provides a peaceful and exclusive environment for guests seeking tranquility. Set within gardens, it offers a serene retreat away from the family-oriented resorts.

Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryQuinta Funchal Gardens, billed as an adults-only retreat, presents itself as a five-star destination, yet several guests express disappointment, noting that the hotel does not match their expectations for such a rating. The facilities, described by some as outdated and run down, have left visitors questioning the hotel's star designation. The lack of certain amenities and detailed information further detracts from its premium status. Maintenance issues, such as door jambs that won't close properly, add to the overall dissatisfaction. While the tranquil setting may offer potential, these aspects indicate that a rejuvenation of the property and an upgrade in services might be necessary to align it with five-star standards. For dining, it seems advisable for guests to explore the city's culinary offerings rather than relying on in-house options. Despite these critiques, there is an appreciation for the uniqueness that non-brand hotels offer, suggesting a potential that, if realized, could elevate the guest experience significantly.
