...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 .

Some visitors , there ... Read review

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: 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: Quiet, lots of facilities, good food
Disadvantages: Remote from entertainment ( some might see this as an advantage)

A wonderful hotel if you're looking for peace and quiet! Situated on the coast between the airport and the capital Funchal, it has wonderful views of the sea across to the 'deserted isles'. If you're looking for a nice sandy beach to lounge on, forget it. We made a couple of attempts to reach the shoreline about 100 yards away but were defeated both times, once by the fact that the path went into the local houses' gardens, and second by the precipitous ...
...very good indeed. We had booked an apartment and had a large bedroom, large bathroom, lounge and kitchenette, plus a sea-facing balcony. There were sufficient utensils to make a good attempt at cooking, but we were rather lazy and ate out most of the time. The restaurant was good, the food was nice, and the breakfast buffet bar very well stocked with plenty of choices, hot or cold. There was a nice outdoor swimming pool, around which were the usual ...

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
