...so we fit perfectly. The Oasis Atlantic hotel is not too far from the airport as the main road is very good. Although it is classed as in Canico , Canico is actually a village quite a way , away . It is an uphill walk all the way from the Oasis Atlantic Hotel and , although within reach , is not for the faint hearted . The easy option bus is right outside the hotel anyway . There is a bus shelter with a timetable . Fuller timetables an be picked ...
...The Oasis Atlantic has 224 rooms spread over 5 floors, I think , including a lower level . Most of the rooms have sea views whether you pay for them or not, but some are side views .

Advantages: Comfortable, clean hotel with lots of facilities close to Funchal Lido
Disadvantages: A pull uphill to the door - but it is Madeira - everything is uphill!

Bearing in mind the price of this hotel, we were agreeably surprised by the quality. The room was clean and of a reasonable size with a lovely sea view and overlooking the swimming pool. The staff were friendly, especially the chambermaids! The breakfast was good, with a good selection of food,although being self-service it was a bit of a scramble if you arrived at around 9am, when we all seem to want to eat our breakfasts! The only problem is ...
...road (as is most of Madeira) although those with cars or using taxis will have no problem arriving at the door. The walk into Funchal is very manageable by us two 69 year olds but we are fitter than some and enjoy levada walking. The levada near the hotel has 150 steps up to it! ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Customer Service, Amazing views, Well Presented and clean rooms
Disadvantages: On a hill, but then most of madeira is!

The Savoy Resort is pretty much amazing and we found it offers the most outstanding customer service ever! The Atlantic views are incredible and it is only located about 10 mins pleasant walk along the harbour from the centre of Funchal, Madeira's capital. There is a wide variety of leisure facilities both on and off site, including indoor heated pools, sauna's,beauty salons, sea filled pools (very novel!) and loads of lovely staff to make sure you ...
...The gardens surrounding the complex are beautifully landscaped, really enhancing the sea views offered around most of the site. They provide welcome shade in the middle of the day and provide a a fair amount of privacy if you so feel like it. There is heaps off site activities, including diving, dolphin watching, catamaran trips, levada walks, horse riding, balloon rides and water parks, We went on Sea Born, sailing catamaran, and after going on ...

Advantages: Clean, friendly staff, in good restaurant territory
Disadvantages: At the top of a great big hill, evening 'entertainment'

We booked this hotel though Expedia, having chosen it from the many hotels in and around Funchal. We were visiting Funchal in November (still lovely weather for this time of year). Arriving We arrived quite late at night (near midnight). Having got a taxi from the airport we were dropped right at the door and didn't see much until the next day. Reception quickly checked us in and we went off to our room. Seemed clean and friendly enough. The room ...
...the day. Facilities The hotel had a nice pool with a snack bar and seating areas for reading/eating etc. My only gripe with the snack bar was that they didn't like to take cash and wanted to charge things to your room - I don't particularly like this way of working - each to his own I suppose. There was an indoor pool in another part of the building and a tennis court. The hotel is part of the Dorisol chain and so guests can use the Mimosa facilities ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely big spacious rooms and balconies
Disadvantages: Location

...and was top quality food with plenty choice but I found that the hot foods were not particularly hot. However the hotel was very enjoyable in itself but we did not really like Madeira as a holiday destination. Overall the hotel was good but Madeira was not as we expected. ... Read review
