Overall Ratings & Reviews Quinta Splendida Wellness & Botanical Garden

We checked in after a cancelled flight, the staff at the reception said i had to leave my passport with them as they werent allowed to take photocopies so they should manually enter my details. Said to call back 1hr later, phoned reception & they said to wait til morning. I felt very uneasy being abroad without my passport near me. The following morning i went to collect it from reception & it was just behing the desk in a pigeon hole shelf. Not even locked away in an office. The interior decor is also quite old fashioned, plus plenty of dark wood, wasn't our style for hotels.

Wonderfull hotel with amazing garden. Nice staff. Clean. Very good breakfast. We were not that impressed with the dinners we had on the hotel, we prefered the other restaruants just outside the hotel instead. Be prepared for many stairs and some steep pathways, as the rest of the island.

Stunning gardens, pool and kitchen garden. Absolutely beautiful surroundings. The hotel rooms are set in gorgeous positions but ours (1116) was very dated. Felt a bit like a very large room in an institution! Bathroom sliding door needed repair and the shower was a trickle. Dirty seal on shower too. Felt it could be an amazing hotel given its layout and gardens but not sure what it would be like when busy. There were very few guests when we were there but the many, many loungers round the pool suggested a very different experience when full.

We really enjoyed our stay in such a lovely hotel, with such kind and attentive staff. The hotel surroundings and location are spectacular, we would definitely like to return, thank you.

All good, brilliant place and hotel with great food, and facilities. But we needed access to a firstr aid box one evening and not a single one could be found across the entire hotel. I ended up getting what I needed for an open bar in the town. This needs to be fixed.

The hotel is in a botanical garden! The grounds were beautiful with views of the mountains and the sea. The spa was very nice.

We loved our stay here. We didn’t like the first room that they provided us. As it was just few steps away from the pool and you could smell the chlorine while inside and it wasn’t the quiet area obviously! And very exposed. Anyway, we contacted the reception and they kindly changed our room. We didn’t have the best view but better than the 1st one. The rooms don’t have ACs, we asked for a fan which was better than nothing. The room had a nice compact kitchen including fridge, cooking hob and kettle. The bathroom is good. Beds are comfortable but I forgot to ask beforehand for double bed instead of 2 single beds. The staff are very nice, kind and professional. Indoor swimming pool didn’t have a good air ventilation. It would’ve been better to have a nice fresh air down there. Outdoor Swimming pool is a bit small comparing to the size of the complex and the number of guests. Breakfast was good and fresh. Very nice cakes and different types of cheese. The coffee wasn’t good though. The area is absolutely gorgeous. We loved walking around checking the plants and trees and seeing all the butterflies, lizards and bees with the see view. It’s easy to take bus and go to Funchal city centre. However I think if you want to see more of the island in north, you need to hire car. Taxis and Bolt works good there. Bolt is cheeper though. We chose October for our trip as we thought it would be a bit cooler but was hot. We definitely recommend this place.

It was really uncomfortable to stay in a hotel room without air conditioner. I wished I realized it when I booked the reservation. Tried to change to a different hotel but wasn’t allowed. And since I had paid for the room in advance I had no other option but to stay.

I love and would return to this hotel every time. The property is absolutely stunning, the pictures do not do justice. The staff at the reception and throughout the property extremely friendly. The only mishap I had was at the main restaurant during breakfast where one of the waitresses thought it would be ok to harass someone while eating to pay immediately. Otherwise it was spectacular.

The garden, the architecture, the spas and swimming pools were amazing.

Love the hotel and wonderful gardens. Good food, comfortable rooms and very lovely staff. Many of whom were there from the last time we stayed. Third time we have used this hotel as convenient to the golf course and Funchal.

Wonderful gardens made for an excellent stay. Very calming and relaxed hotel. Staff all great and very helpful.

Gardens were beautiful. Excellent helpful staff.

One of our best stays ever. Canico the best place to stay and this place is the best place in Canico although the room we has was dated. An one the room stole a KitKat - strange but true. Ground and garden are truely extra-ordinary and amazing. Restaurants are amazing and th staff and mostly amazing.

Beautiful surroundings, friendly staff, great breakfast

Spacious room large terrace beautiful gardens and grounds Could have been more than one waste paper basket in the rom tho

Environnement magnifique avec ce jardin exotique qui entoure tous les bâtiments bien intégrés de l'hôtel et la vue sur la baie de Santa Cruz. Grande piscine très agréable.

The staff was super nice, the studio beautiful and useful, clean and nice. Supermarket and bakery next door, as well as some restaurants. The plants and flowers in the hotel are just amazing, like living in a botanical garden. Would definitely repeat if I come back to Madeira.
