Hoteller i nærheden af Lufthavn: Madeira

Fordele: Excellent breakfast buffet. Nice situation close to the sea.

Ulemper: the room they had originally prepared for me was a very very small room but upon my request I got a better room with seaview and a balcony.

Fordele: After a very warm welcome from the receptionist our room was clean, lovely view and generally quiet - except for nearbye wardrobe doors which seem to stick. Had typical evening buffet first night. Next evenings ate local fish in local restaurants. International breakfast good. No other English visitors. Pleased we had car. Short transfer to airport on leaving ( despite closeness to airport no aircraft noise).

Ulemper: The staff were courteous and polite throughout except for checkout ( I even forgave them for thinking we were German). The check out Receptionist seemed to have an issue with another member of staff and took it out on us - a sad end to a very happy holiday!!

Fordele: Access to the Spa, lovely setting and very nice breakfasts.

Ulemper: It might be best to warn English women that there will be chubby naked men in the sauna .....a little unpleasant. In England in mixed sex environments they wear swim-wear

Fordele: The sea view of course! The breakfast was very good too.

Ulemper: You better had to speak German.

Fordele: location and good breakfast, nice room.

Ulemper: only one english speaking channel on the tv which was a news channel the rest is ^German.

Fordele: Staff friendly and polite

Ulemper: Ironing facilities would have been nice.

Fordele: it was an amazing experience, the hotel is top quality and the service was excellent. The hotel location is perfect. with a panoramic view of the sea.

Ulemper: nothing!

Fordele: A fabulous and very impressing house with a beautiful and well kept garden.The Quinta and its rooms are in an excellent condition with a luxurious atmosphere. Sitting on the loggia of the "superior room" or on the terrasse opens a splendid view over Funchal and its harbour and when having breakfast, one could stay there for hours. Staff is very helpful and friendly. The owner of the Quinta came by every morning in order to see whether everything was fine. There is one good and one excellent restaurant in walking distance with mostly native guests so there is no need to go to Funchal for taking meals and this avoids having to visit the touristic oriented restaurants in Funchal.

Ulemper: The walk to Funchal is only 25 minutes but uncomfortable because one must walk on streets with no side-walk. However, this is the price you must pay in consideration for staying in a location outside Funchal that offers more personal atmosphere than a hotel. In any case, bus connections are good and if you have a car, it is only 10 minutes to Funchal that offers good parking possibilities.

Fordele: Very nice, comfortable and clean with a beautiful breakfast served on a patio overlooking the port at Funcal. The owner was friendly, helpful and resourceful.

Ulemper: It's close to a noisy street.

Fordele: It provided excellent service with a friendly owner. Most suited to a quiet break for couples.

Ulemper: Nothing at all!

Fordele: Spacious room with wonderful views over Funchal and the harbour.

Ulemper: Exceptionally narrow bed (in the the very big room). Barking dogs and loud neighbours disrupted much of the expected tranquility. There is only one restaurant in the neighbourhood. The walk into Funchal is only some 25 minutes, but unpleasant un the narrow road on which peaple drive way too fast. Owner only accepted cash payment (credit card machine had not arrived...) and returned no receipt. Didn't promote a very serious impression.

Fordele: Excellent place for people who want to stay outside the touristic district and who don't like huge crowded hotels. Fantastic atmosphere and dedicated customer service. Beautiful view over Funchal. Walking distance to the restaurants area in Funchal about 20 min and 30 back.

Fordele: Beautiful gardens and a stunning view over the harbour. Very friendly, helpful owners and staff. Quiet and calm.

Ulemper: $review.cons

Fordele: lovely location, friendly staff

Ulemper: Although bus stopped virtually outside, buses were irregular with big gaps in evening. It is possible to walk into Funchal but not a pleasant walk (30mins)

Fordele: Awesome property, professional staff . A pleasureable experience,this hotel has the best restaurant on the Island ! Gardens all around and fresh flowers in the room. Looking forward to my next stay.

Fordele: Use of golf course and food

Fordele: Excellent service, friendly staff, beautiful hotel, great gardens, nice clean rooms !!!

Fordele: En fremragende udsigt fra vores værelse, der var bestilt med sea/bayview. Endvidere er haven med pool oven på hotellet en dejlig oplevelse hvor bl.a. den pragtfulde udsigt skal fremhæves.

Ulemper: Vandet i poolen er noget koldt på denne årstid (januar). Lidt opvarmning ville være dejligt. Vi boede et par nætter i en suite - kun med sea view - og her blev vi noget generet af traffik støj. Lyd isolering ville nok hjælpe.

Fordele: nice ocean view and kind front staff. free internet 24 hours! the breakfast croissant was pretty good

Ulemper: many ants were there

Fordele: Excellent location for both Funchal city and touring. Fantastic views. Nice restaurant with good food and friendly atmosphere. Most staff friendly and helpful. Ample free parking.

Ulemper: Bay view rooms do not, as advertised, have a bath. No tea/coffee making facilities in rooms. Minibar not stocked.

Fordele: Ocean Gardens was good selection to celibrate. It´s good place to relax and get good service. The views to Funchall, especially at night was great. At hotel was good restaurant and good service at the bar. There was good posibilies to use Internet and play games. Taxis are at Madeira quite cheap so the distance from the city wasn´t any problem!

Fordele: The hotel was fabulous. Rooms were of a high standard and very clean. Hotel was in a great location with a wonderful view over Funchal.

Fordele: Fremragende betjening, rigtig fin restaurant, smukke omgivelser, gode faciliteter, flot dekoreret/pyntet op til jul.

Ulemper: Der boer vaere en tilgeaengelig koerselsvejledning til hotellet paa internettet. Ellers iab.

Fordele: Excellent location and views. Easy access to main highway. Front desk service excellent. Courtesy bus available. Quality of breakfast (but variable! ) Restaurant food very reasonable. Efficient and friendly waiters. Pool area and views really nice.

Ulemper: Road noise in the morning may affect light sleepers. One or two breakfast staff lack customer discretion.

Fordele: a modern and well appointed hotel. It is well away from Funchal town , and very peaceful as a result. The gardens and terraces are beautiful , and the views across Funchal can probably not be bettered.We enjoyed a suite which was very comfortable, and had we known how good it would be,would have liked to have stayed longer.

Fordele: the welcoming and relaxed atmosphere

Ulemper: no tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms

Fordele: $review.pros

Ulemper: Very old style furniture.

Fordele: Godt hotel - væk fra Funchal og dog tæt på. Gode faciliteter. Flot beliggenhed. Venlig betjening.

Ulemper: Restauranten Montanha er kendt viden om i Funchal. Faktisk kan man bedre finde vej med Taxa ved at henvise til restauranten end ved at bruge hotellets navn. Restaurantens kvalitet på madsiden fandt vi, ved vore besøg, ringe. Måske fordi det var udenfor sæson. Men maden var meget ordinær, vinkortet ikke noget særligt. Betjening dog meget venlig.

Fordele: View from room

Ulemper: that was asked to pay for hotel's tourist map

Fordele: Nice bedroom, lovely pool area, lovely a la carte portugese evening.

Ulemper: Very hilly location once out of hotel grounds, very expensive drinks (alcholic) in hotel bars (not good measures either).

Fordele: We were welcomed by the excellent staff at Reception who advised us of Special Offers in the Restaurants, Hairdressers and Massage. Our room was large and airy. The onsite shop was very handy as there are not any shops in the immediate vicinity.Near the Hotel, at the end of the Promenade, was a sheltered place for swimming in the sea - Beside that was a black sand area surrounded by boulders which formed a sheltered pool for those not into the deep! On the 2nd week of our holiday there was a "Festival Gastronomique" on the Promenade - local Snack Bars and Restaurants served food. Great fun.

Ulemper: The air conditioning really just moved the air around rather than refreshing it.

Fordele: we recently can to four veiws oasis on a mother daughter holiday, we realy enjoyed our stay and found it verry relaxing, the buffet style breakfast was excellent catering for all needs and more. The hotel staff were verry helpfull and accomadating.

Ulemper: Early departure - nos staff to assist with breakfast althought food was left. Swimming pool opening times restrictive - closed at 7:30pm, not sure why because it wasn't staffed (indoor or outdoor)

Fordele: godt

Ulemper: nej

Fordele: Dejlig palmehave og poolområde. God morgenmad. I det hele taget et godt hotel.

Ulemper: Da det ligger så tæt på havet ville information om tsunami-varslingssystemer være beroligende. Efter katastrofen i østen er det svært at lade være med at tænke på en lignende situation.

Fordele: the weather, the room, the food, the staff, the parrott

Ulemper: $review.cons

Fordele: The efficiency, coutesy & friendliness of the staff. The location of the hotel was perfect for me: close enough to Funchal to visit regularly, but far enough to get away from the crowds. Direct access to the promenade is good.

Fordele: averthing

Ulemper: $review.cons

Fordele: Beautiful views, very luxurious and comfortable apartment with everything we needed. Loved the underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Liked the fact that there were several English TV channels, as there was nothing else to do in the rain!

Ulemper: Swimming pool was very cold and there was an overall lack of facilities for children. Restaurant and spa were too expensive. Quite difficult to access and get around as roads are extremely steep. Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful.

Fordele: Actually I did not enjoy the stay at all. It was in the middle of nowhere with no weekend services

Ulemper: I did not enjoy the stay at all. It was in the middle of nowhere with no weekend services. There was a bad odour on the headboard in the bedroom. The reception was not open on weekends. The see view that was advertised was a view between 2 other apartments.

Fordele: The convenience of self-catering and the view of Funchal.

Fordele: Excellent views and spacious, clean & quite stylish apartment.

Ulemper: Traffic noise.

Fordele: Great apartment. Amazing views. Really nice complex of different houses, apartments and villas. Staff is really nice and the whole place seems really (overly) secured in terms of security staff etc.

Fordele: Probably one of the best holiday resorts I've been to. Beautiful location, excellent service, wonderful clean rooms and any facility available that one could wish for.

Fordele: very friendly and good value for money. Would go again

Fordele: hotel staff is very competent and very friendly, location for sports activities is great (hiking, mountain biking, gym, diving ...), breakfast is very good

Fordele: The room was comfortable with a lovely sea view. The breakfast was really good with lots of different choices on offer.

Fordele: The gym/sports facilities are very good. The sauna/spa area is very useful after a day of walking. Swimming in the sea. Breakfast is very good.

Ulemper: Facilities are rather spread out and involve crossing public areas.

Fordele: The variety of activities supplied by the hotel.

Ulemper: A kitchenette would have been perferred and/or a fridge for our use as opposed to a stocked mini-bar.

Fordele: The hotel was well organized and I had the change to relax a lot because of the plenty physical body activities.

Ulemper: I couldn't find shampoo in the bathroom, there was only one product for body and hair, a four star hotel has to provide nice different products for body and hair.

Fordele: sea view, staff service

Ulemper: very old furniture, ancient leaking shower in the room, tough pancakes, awful coffee and half-done omelette for breakfasts

Fordele: Hotel location, breakfast and health center.

Ulemper: Furniture and plumbing!!! Hotel definitely needs new furniture and renewal of plumbing accessories.

Fordele: The room was perfect and the view was very good

Ulemper: There was a lot of olg germans, no young people at all. I also recomend to make tea/coffee facilities in the room free

Fordele: The hotel staff is perfect, wonderful sea view, very queit place, good facilities for sports and spa.

Fordele: Almost everything was excellent. The location is so good, that you could forget about anything else.

Ulemper: Breakfast, while it was okay, didn't meet expectation comparing to everything else in the hotel. And there is no internet in the hotel, I mean, common, it's 21 century already.

Fordele: Super godt

Fordele: Beautifull oceanview from the rooms, quiet place, good breakfast.

Fordele: Clean, tidy. nice views, quiet

Ulemper: We had only bed & breakfast, but also paid for 1 evening meal in the main hotel - this food was not good. The food in the main Hotel was not tasty, poor selection, very overpriced for what was available, we were very dissappointed. The Pizza restaurant however, which we also eat at (twice) was excellent in service and food.

Fordele: Everything was good, except the things listed in the next point.

Ulemper: It is part of a larger hotel chain, every service (except breakfast and reception during weekdays) was available in the main hotel only. I was absolutely satisfied with the other facilities and staff of the hotel chain (Galo Resort) but next time probably I would choose one of their other hotels (Galosol or Galomar) which are more 'centrally' located.

Fordele: Everything was perfect

Ulemper: Nothing

Fordele: Quiet, great place to relax, overlooks the sea. Excellent location a little away from action but within walking distance of a range of restaurants.

Ulemper: $review.cons

Fordele: $review.pros

Ulemper: reception closing at 7pm.

Fordele: The beautiful garden setting of the hotel with an abundance of flowers and sea view. The village of Canico with bakery, restaurants, supermarkets etc was in easy walking distance. There is a regular bus service from outside the hotel into Funchal. The supply of bathing towels was much appreciated. A hire car made the holiday much more pleasant.

Ulemper: We considered that the prices of the breakfast and restaurant meals were high.

Fordele: good infrastructure, beautiful botanical surroundings, nice swimming pool area and spa (expensive, but good quality), calm, situated approx. 20 mins from Funchal, nice view over atlantic.

Ulemper: would be comfortable to have more than one shuttle bus per day from hotel to Funchal. The restaurants available at the hotel are quite expensive. But there a nice local restaurants, approx. 5 mins from hotel. Round the corner bakery for breakfast.

Fordele: The garden, the room, the beautiful view over the ocean. kind room- and serving people.

Ulemper: none

Fordele: Beautiful setting, lovely gardens, good food, spacious accommodation and good access to walking routes

Ulemper: Reception staff could have been more helpful.A residents'lounge would be an advantage and Spa prices were very expensive

Ulemper: Coffee at breakfast undrinkable and fairly borderline breakfast

Fordele: The hotel is beautiful, the location is great, Umberto the manager was brilliant. the food was a little pricey but other than that it was superb.

Ulemper: Only one member of staff was unhelpful even slightly rude, Lourdes Silva.

Fordele: The place, it was on a very quiet zone, with no huge traffic

Ulemper: the bathtub was old and broken. i asked for one double bed and the got me a twin, but the curious was that they put over both beds a coverlet from a double bed. they didn't changed the bed sheets on all weekend. beyond the fact that they put 2 sheets on horizontal on the bed because they are small. the room was side by side with the restaurant kitchen ventilation, so noise is guarantee all day . All facilities like Jacuzzi, sauna and Turkish bath it's on Royal Orchid and not on Roca Mar, what makes it not very pleasant traveling throw many passageways to reach every one of the announced facilities that it's not on the booked hotel. Will not come again on this one... for sure

Fordele: Location-we had an exc ellent room-staff were pleasant, helpful and efficient

Ulemper: No

Ulemper: no food after 10pm

Fordele: nothing so we didnt stay there

Ulemper: on arrival, no water in swimming pool, very cold austere atmosphere and over developed area view of sea was an inch above concrete balcony rate kitchen could be bonus to some.- 5 out of 10

Fordele: The hotel was very welcoming, informal and big enough to have good facilities (lots of loungers, use of pool sauna steam etc) bu tntimate enough to get around easily. The breakfast buffet was very good with an excellent choice from fresh fruit to fully cooked.

Ulemper: I would have preferred a double bed instead of 2 singles pushed together and the mattress was a little soft.

Fordele: Quiet room, well furnished with spectacular sea view. Reception staff particularly helpful.Fully equipped kitchen, but a pity this was not mentioned on the information provided beforehand. As a result we were unable to make full use of these facilities. Coutesy bus into Funchal.

Ulemper: $review.cons

Ulemper: Too many stairs

Fordele: Roligt hotel med en fantastisk beliggenhed lige ud til Atlanterhavet. Rolige omgivelser med flere gode spisesteder tæt på hottellet,

Ulemper: Meget dårlig buffetmad i restaurationen (elendig og meget dyr mad) på selve hotellet.Typisk rejseselskabshotel, hvor de ansatte ikke giver nogen speciel service (ligegyldighed).

Fordele: Perfect location directly on the rocks in the ocean. Great terraces to enjoy sunshine, very clean water, excellent for diving. We had a large and well equipped appartment with superb balcony and the ever best seaview. A place one shouldn't miss.

Ulemper: $review.cons

Fordele: the landscape

Ulemper: everything ok

Fordele: The quietness of the area and of the room overlooking the sea.The swimming pool and the courtesy bus, and the proximity of excellent cafes and restaurants in the area. Joana one of the receptionists was particularly helpful and had an excellent knowledge of the area.

Ulemper: A meagre selection of English language TV channels.

Fordele: Position overlooking the sea. All facilities available at sister hotel Rocamar. Use of courtesy bus to Funchal. Location to all local restaurants and public transport

Ulemper: In comparison to nearby hotels it is in need of a refurbishment. Supervision in gym and pool area could have been better. The allowing of nude bathing in the sauna was undesirable to which my wife took exception to.

Fordele: God lejlighed, skøn beliggenhed og dejlig fred og ro.

Ulemper: Var meget tilfredse.

Fordele: Easy access to main roads. Quiet.

Ulemper: I stayed at room 4211, It was really old furnitured and has to be refurbished urgently; it seemed as unused for many months!

Ulemper: I didn't like the room location (too far away from the restaurnt and lobby) and also was in 3rd floor without elevator!!

Fordele: Gode værelser med balkon, gode senge og udmærket badeværelse. Værelset blev gjort rent tidligt på formiddagen hver dag. Velkomst på værelset i form af en flaske Madeira og lokal chokoladekage. Vær opmærksom på at hotellet ligger 8 km fra Funchals centrum.

Fordele: The room was made everyday even when we left the room quite late

Ulemper: The staff is not really kind and it looks like they don't really care, the breakfast was very limited: every morning the same things and not a big selection.If you want an advise don't make any call from the phone in the room: the bill could be exstremely expensive.

Fordele: quiet relaxing. good restaurants by hotel. good breakfast.good value evening meals

Ulemper: beginning to show signs of aging

Fordele: - breakfast buffet although very classical - bathroom because recently renovated - kind personnel

Ulemper: - very noisy hotel ; no soundproofing - ground floor room with balcony: no privacy hence balcony not used - kitchenette but no serious equipment to cook: no pan, no frying pan for instance - small bedroom - too small twinbeds - old and tasteless decoration as result: after 3 nights, went to another hotel
