The Views Oasis

Spa werkte niet terwijl ik van te voren had gebeld of alles werkte in de Spa en toen een volmondige ja kreeg

Staff were excellent & helpful with majority of staff able to speak English.We had breakfast which was plentiful usual bacon, eggs, sausage & unfortunately only once or twice tomato’s which is my preferred instead if beans. Wifi not a 100%.Happy hour 6-7 with 25% off cocktails.Snacks not bad with a small poolside menu.Plenty of beds & towels supplied for pool in your room.Plenty of nightlife in Hotel but we chose to eat & drink out as not our first visit to Canico.Hop on Hotel bus which needs to be booked 48hrs in advance.Download Moveit & access local bus 155 to Funchal.For taxi download Bolt & book online similar to Uber so prices change.

We (me, wife, and 4 year old) stayed here for 7 nights the last week of July 2024. The hotel was excellent; great location about a ten min drive from the airport. The room was spacious and comfortable - good sound proofing. There is an option when to use the room cleaning service. On days you don’t use it you are refunded some money. It’s all to do with the hotel meeting its environment obligations etc. On booking in there is a tourist tax. I had no problem with this and indeed expected it. Wish we had it here in Glasgow. The reception staff are very helpful and friendly. We had no problem getting a sun-bed each day although on windy days there is a rule about no umbrellas up. Can’t really speak to the food as we only had breakfast which was a tad standard. The food at the pool bar was excellent. There are a couple of places nearby you can eat however the walks are very hilly! The hotel sits on the front which is great for evening walks to enjoy the sunset etc. we found the locals very friendly and the place in general very safe for young families. The hotel runs a complimentary bus into Funchal on weekdays which I would recommend. Please note it is very sharp so be there in plenty of time. All in we had a great time and would defo go back.

Excellent experience made by the attentiveness of all staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Very clean, good food, good sized pool and good location to go for a sea swim. A good choice for a quiet holiday. Free shuttle bus to Funchal, although not at the weekend, so easy to explore further. Couldn’t fault service. thank you.

Very clean and relaxing hotel, welcoming staff and stunning views. Definitely worth upgrading to a sea view room. It was my husband’s birthday whilst we were there and they surprised us with a meal, bottle of wine and birthday cake, absolutely lovely gesture. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, this is perfect, with a bus stop outside the hotel if you want to go into Funchal.

The hotel was welcoming and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly , especially the head waiter Paul. Room 417 had a lovely sea view. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The balcony was narrow with just enough room for a small table and 2 chairs. There was a kettle and fridge, TV , air con etc. In the self service restaurant the food was good, with lots of choice of fresh fruit and salad, cheeses and cooked eggs, bacon,etc at breakfast and also lots of choice of meat, fish, salads and vegetables at dinner, and lots of choice of puddings. For the all inclusive option, the lunch options at the pool bar were from a small menu but most options were included, 2 soups, some salads, some toasted sandwiches, some grilled meats including steak and chicken and burgers, and the portions were good. Pudding at lunch was limited to fruit salad or one cake each day and only cornettos and ice lollies. The selection of drinks was good but local cider would have been a good addition, and more non alcoholic options would have been welcome. On two evenings through the week there was an a la carte option, one for fish lovers, one for meat. We had the a la carte fish lovers dinner, which included a set amuse bouch and soup, then a choice of about 6 fish dishes, and a choice of 2 puddings. Service and presentation were good. The evening entertainment was good and varied, with excellent and memorable guitarists, drummer and violinist one evening and another evening a magician who engaged well with the children in the audience. The public areas were bright and airy and the outside pool area was spotless and spacious, with beautiful sea views and the sound of the breaking waves as a background. The indoor pool area and spa were very warm and clean. The gardens are well kept, with a small herb and vegetable garden. Outside the hotel there is a promenade leading to a pebbled beach area used for swimming, diving and wind surfing with two cafes. In the other direction the walk was less scenic and soon left the shore to go through a built up area leading steeply uphill eventually reaching Caniço. The local bus stopped just outside the hotel and stopped at Caniço and other places and took 45 minutes to reach Funchal. Bus fare 2.20 euros each way. Some day trips went from the hotel. Although checkout was at noon we were made welcome and as all inclusive guests still got lunch and drinks until we left in the evening. Overall the experience was good and very peaceful and we were happy with our stay. The building work was minimal and did not impact our stay at all.

great experience for families, lots to do and would definitely recommend and visit again, rooms were great and in good condition, really good accommodated for families especially kids, food was perfect as was everything else; stayed for 10 days and enjoyed every bit.

This is a great hotel, sitting right on a walkable promenade with views out into the bay. Our room on the 5th floor was spacious, clean and comfortable. Food choices were good at all meals.....the only negative was the lack of show cooking. The hotel had a nice, relaxed vibe, quiet with attentive staff. The courtesy bus to Funchal was great as was the local bus that stops outside.....this was an excellent hotel and a great holiday.
