The hotel was excellent and on arrival we had been upgraded to a suite, which was excellent. The staff were so efficient and always smiling which costs nothing, but makes such a difference to clients. The dining room was run so professionally an the food excellent....

    My wife and I have just returned from Madeira where we stayed in the Gorgulho Aparthotel. We felt we should write and express our complete satisfaction with the holiday whilst the memories are still fresh. We had requested, when booking, a high room and in fact we were allocated a room on the tenth floor. The room was on the front corner of the hotel so that the view from the balcony encompassed the whole of Funchal, its backdrop of the mountains and an uninterrupted sea view from the front and...

    Having lost my husband in June after a years' illness, I saw your advert in the Sunday Mail so decided to send off for your brochure. I booked 3 weeks at the CS Madeira Atlantic Resort and Spa and thank you for such a lovely holiday, never having used your business before. Being on my own, as you can imagine, I was a little apprehensive but delighted to say the hotel and everything was superb.

    May I thank you for the cheque/full reimbursement due to the cancellation of our holiday and esspecially for the prompt and understanding manner in which you dealt with the problem. We also appriciate the discount you have offered. Although we are unable to take advantage of this at this time I feel sure we shall return as clients in the future. And finally let us hope that the Norse Gods sort out their errant volcano and that we can all return to normal as soon as possible.

    May we thank you for the cheque you sent for what we had spent on our booking to Madeira with you. The ash cloud certainly caused a lot of people a lot of trouble. Although we were not able to go abroad on holiday again this year we do hope that next year we will be able to book with you again and we will feel happy to recommend your company to our friends.

    Fourviews Monumental Lido ,Funchal

    Firstly can I say how much we enjoyed our first holiday with Mercury Direct, to Madeira for three weeks in January this year. We had low expectations believing that as it was so reasonably priced it would probably be fairly basic but our expectations were well exceeded. We particularly loved the fact that the bedroom in the Monumental Lido has the sun on the balcony all day, which was really lovely. We would be interested in returing to the same hotel at the beginning of January 2012.
