Great stay. We arrived late and the gentleman at the front desk was so kind and accommodating!! Would definitely recommend. Very convenient to airport!
Booked this place for 2 nights, total including breakfast £119. I was just out of hospital in Portugal having operation for stomach cancer. Before flight home to England. Put me and my son in horrible room small window facing a wall. Complained so changed room. I had medication from hospital that needed to be kept cold,. The fridge in the room did not work, ask for replacement fridge, which arrived next day,. Not kettle for making tea/coffee, very basic room Sorry we didn't book better hotel in area for cheaper price When checking out, reception staff charge me for , water and bedroom tax, I said I haven't had any water, and Agoda price of £118 was total. No extra to pay. Staff insisted I had to pay, I was in so much pain still with operation for cancer, I just paid extra rippoff charge they ask for I only way I can get some Solis on this hotel is to warn people to avoid this place like the plaig and not to book here. The pictures look lovely, but trust me not the same when you arrive there (scam). Left a bitter taste with me. Horrible old staff, just want your money and not polite about it. I had cancer removed from my stomach, and was glad to remove myself from this so called hotel ( what a joke). Should hang there heads in shame.
We stayed for the first 2 weeks of November 2024. We were very impressed with the hotel when we arrived. The staff were very courteous and helpful, our favourite was Lilianna, very helpful and friendly. We were only ten minutes from the airport but we didn't get any aircraft flying above us. The room was spacious, clean and balcony was a little small but we had room to sit out and play dominoes and a drink, we had a side view of the sea. The restaurant had everything that you would need, for breakfast and dinner, all self service but the food was absolutely fantastic. The pool area was spacious and plenty of beds, best of all there were no children....Maderia is mainly for adults as there are no beaches. Yes, I would recommend this hotel, you won't be disappointed.

Having visited Riu’s in Morocco and Cape Verde, we had high hopes. The place is spotless, the staff are excellent. The wifi is brilliant. No matter what time we got up in the morning, we always found a lounger. We spent most of our 2 weeks, relaxing around the pool. One pool is slightly warmer than the other, but, both are nice. It never felt overly crowded, except when it rained and everyone was inside. Thankfully it only rained on one occasion. The food was varied, but I have a bone to pick with the buffet restaurant…..literally… Too many bones, especially the duck. Both times I had some, all I got was huge chunks of bone and no meat. Aside from that, we had a good holiday. We had one trip out to Funchal, using the hotel bus. Oh, and some of the towels need replacing. All I kept getting were threadbare ones.

We stayed for 5 nights, All inclusive, at the Rocamar Lido resort. Room: Our room was lovely - sea view and very big. The walls are quite thin, so we could hear the people above us, who had children running up and down at times. Staff: The majority of the staff were very welcoming and polite to us throughout our stay- Susanna at the bar was lovely. Food: Breakfast was lovely and a good selection- but it can get very busy. Lunch and dinner options were very hit and miss. As we were all inclusive, we expected to have a wider selection each day. Unfortunately, most days the hotel offered the same foods in different variations. The food at the Lee Hamilton steak house at the hotel was lovely and we went their twice - this is half price of staying all inclusive. We found it strange that we were stopped from playing play card games at the bar area- we have never heard of this before. Hotel: The location is perfect and you can go for some lovely walks around Canico. There are some places to eat nearby, so would recommend to go B&B and try local cuisine. The hotel offer a shuttle bus to Funchal but only at 9.30am and return at 5.00pm, so we ended up getting a taxi - which are quite expensive.
We very much enjoyed our stay here. It’s part of a resort of three hotels that share the same facilities. We had two rooms both with a lovely sea view and balcony. The small kitchenette was basic and a tiny bit limited but ok for basic cooking. Only one room had a coffee machine. We only ate once in the main self-service restaurant which was enjoyable but slightly overpriced. We loved happy hour at the bar and also enjoyed the evening entertainment. All the staff were very helpful though the waiting time at reception could be long as there was generally only one person on the desk. We hired a car were able to park for free on the street outside the hotel and the hotel has a car park (€7.50/day). There are a few shops within walking distance. There are quite a few steps around the hotels though I think most areas are accessible by ramp or lift, but possibly not the pools. Thanks for a wonderful holiday.
Very Good
