Very beautiful. Took 3 visits before access to pool and Sea was open. Could swim in sea to right of lido including diving board or ladders, or stone walkway, but left sea access was still roped off. No access to floating island or sea swimming in that area for today. Pool entry from top and bottom stairs, sides entry not possible as design enables the overflow gully's to drain the pool water overflow. The lido pool quite cool, 10 min in you'll be used to it by then. Sea felt warmer. Good venue just remember the Sea dictates activities there. €17.50 ish for 2 adults 2 children with 2 Sun Beds & a parasol. Pretty good value, access to showers, lockers(required a mini padlock €3.50, no locker is marked or numbered so remember the one you chose). Got there at 9am, got busy at midday. Popular with tourists and Madeirenses. Cafe reasonable prices. There are 2 toddler pools with 3 small slides in shallow water. If your hotel pool is good then Maybe check sea entry from lido is not roped off, but pool is very large up to 5ft deep. So if not bothered about sea swimming still good to go and you can take in the dramatic views as Sea crashes over the rock wall. Swells in sea rose up and down of 10 ft when swimming to ladder to climb back to lido, great fun, do remember to be careful swimming in the sea. Madeira not a beach, there's no beach to swim to if your not used to swimming in the sea, or climbing the ladders(they were little slippery). We stayed for nearly 6 hours. Just before entry there's a very good ice cream parlor(€3.50 for 2 scoop cone) which we went to after swimming.
