Saccharum Hotel Resort & Spa's

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solution was jointly designed with partners MEO and Tecnocom. 

  • Country: Portugal
  • Industry: Hospitality
  • Solution: Autonomous Network, Connected Solutions and Devices

Overlooking the sea, and near the Marina of Calheta Madeira Island, the 5-star Saccharum Hotel Resort & Spa has 175 rooms, 6 suites and 62 apartments.

The luxurious hotel is owned by the AFA Group, a corporate group with consolidated international business and holding interests in various business areas including hospitality.

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solution was chosen by the Saccharum Hotel because it was the most competitive solution, with a high level of guaranteed service, at the best price.
