Great location, plus the aerobus stops at La Vie shopping centre which is just a couple minutes walk away. Receptionist who greeted us was very friendly and welcoming. Our room was in a separate building a few doors down from reception, which wasn't a problem. Our room overlooked the patio terrace, which might've been annoying if other people decided to use it, but during our stay we didn't notice anyone else out there (it was also a nice place for us to use the wi-fi as it only worked in our room if we stood in the doorway). Minor downsides: the shower gel dispenser was empty... the hallways were very echoey so on our first night we heard loud, drunk people in the early hours of the morning hanging around (it was a Saturday, but this didn't haoproblem didn't persist) ... breakfast choice was limited too (and some people may be annoyed by the pigeons that linger on the balcony for food, however we found it funny). Overall, good value for money, didn't encounter any major problems. I'd recommend the vegan restaurant that is a minute's walk away, it's apparently the only vegan restaurant in Funchal and it was great, felt lucky to be so near it.
