Lovely pool and deck for sun bathing Very Large deck with access to the sea. Pool is a good size with an additional children’s pool close by. There is also a bar/ restaurant. Cost for 2 was 14e including lounger chairs - a good price compared to other places we know. The company has four other locations.

A paid public pool Price was about €16 for 2 beds with umbrella for the entire day. I would say a reasons price. We went here twice, we had a good time suntanning, swimming and relaxing. It was really busy, but since we had paid for our beds we had our own spot and it didn’t bother us.

We discovered this place at the end of our holiday. A cool place especially for families with children. The only issue is the poor service in the nearby bar but hopefully, it's not like that every day.

Given there are few beaches near Funchal, this is great. Lots of space and sun loungers. Clean facilities. €14 for 2 adult entries with 2 sun beds and an umbrella.
