Location
Nestled in the heart of Laurel Forest, the Nature Retreat offers a truly mesmerizing location for those seeking a genuine escape into nature's embrace. It is conveniently positioned with good access to the trail to Fanal, providing an ideal setting for avid hikers. Surrounded by majestic mountains and verdant greenery, the retreat promises peace, tranquility, and an opportunity to disconnect from the bustling world.

The campsite, set against a stunning backdrop, is an attractive prospect for nature lovers who relish the idea of solitude amid breathtaking landscapes. Away from houses and roads, the retreat is a sanctuary in which visitors can unwind and savor the silence, possibly while stargazing under the clear night sky. The accommodations, with tents comfortably furnished amongst the mountains, further enhance the immersive nature experience.

While it offers unrivaled natural beauty, it's important to note the location is quite remote, necessitating a steep walk from Seixal, with limited public transportation options. Yet, for those who prioritize serene vibes and the raw beauty of the mountainous vistas, this secluded location is nothing short of spectacular—a magical place for a retreat in Madeira. The atmosphere and surroundings of Laurel Forest are undeniably enchanting, making it a sublime spot for hiking adventures and peaceful mountain stays.

Guests repeatedly emphasize the comfort of the beds, highlighting them as one of the comfiest features of their stay. The super comfortable mattresses and quality pillows are consistently noted, ensuring a restful night's sleep amidst the serene surroundings.

The tents themselves are described as both cozy and spacious, offering a real bed that positively surprises visitors. With warm blankets and good, clean bedding, guests can revel in comfort despite the natural challenges that may accompany such a damp environment.

Amidst the lush mountains, the retreat offers not just a beautiful setting but also thoughtfully designed accommodations perfect for unwinding. From the warm and cozy interiors of the tents to the pleasant, secluded ambiance, Nature Retreat - Laurel Forest is celebrated for providing a restful and rejuvenating escape where comfort in every sense is not spared.

Cleanliness
Nature Retreat - Laurel Forest offers guests an intriguing mix of outdoor living with modern conveniences, but it seems to have received quite a mixed bag of reviews when it comes to cleanliness. On the positive side, the accommodation’s tents have garnered praise for being clean and cozy, providing a comfortable retreat amidst the serenity of nature. Guests have appreciated the clean and well-maintained bathrooms and sanitary facilities, with reports of consistent hot water and daily maintenance ensuring that these areas meet a good standard for shared use.

However, the kitchen area seems to be a point of contention among visitors. Numerous reviews cite issues with mold and outdated appliances, alongside a persistent damp smell and poor organization, which may detract from the overall experience for some. Despite being well-equipped, the kitchen has been criticized for its untidiness and lack of regular cleaning, which might stem partly from the actions of the guests who do not manage their food properly. This area in particular is noted as needing significant improvement.

While the tents themselves are largely appreciated for their cleanliness and comfort, the surrounding communal areas suffer from maintenance issues, which, along with inadequate management presence, have led to varied guest experiences. Overall, visitors may find themselves enjoying a peaceful stay within clean tents and well-maintained bathroom facilities, while potentially facing challenges with the common areas and kitchen cleanliness.

Staff
Guests at Nature Retreat - Laurel Forest highlight communication as a significant concern, noting a lack of onsite staff and difficulty in reaching the owner or any personnel. Access to the accommodation primarily relies on receiving entry codes and information via automated messages or emails. While some guests experienced a warm welcome from the owner and found the provided instructions on arrival helpful, others faced challenges with unresponsive communication, especially when addressing issues like facility inquiries or urgent needs.

Though contact via WhatsApp proved efficient for some, there's a general consensus that communication with management could be improved. On a positive note, a few guests appreciated the flexibility and hospitality shown, such as being permitted to use the kitchen facilities. Despite the noted drawbacks, the simplicity of contactless entry was found suitable for short stays by some visitors. Overall, the staff interactions and communication leave room for improvement to enhance guest experiences.

Wi-Fi
Nature Retreat - Laurel Forest offers a serene escape into nature, but visitors should be prepared for a digital detox during their stay. There is no Wi-Fi available on-site, and the mobile signal is quite weak. For those who plan to stay connected, the lack of internet and mobile connectivity might pose a challenge. However, for travelers anticipating a respite from the digital world, this can be a welcome opportunity to disconnect. Installing a router could be a consideration for the establishment to enhance guest satisfaction. Despite these connectivity challenges, some forms of communication, such as WhatsApp, have proven to be somewhat reliable, although not all communication methods are effective. Future visitors should be prepared for limited online connectivity, which is the main aspect in need of improvement in an otherwise tranquil setting.
