Uges ferie på Madeira i december for 2 personer

Vi havde bestilt en uges solferie i december via SPOTdeal til en yderst rimelig pris. Rejser inkludere fly, hotel med morgenmad i en uge. Hotellet ligger cirka 5-6 km fra centrum af Funchal, men man kan nemt spadsere derind langs med vandet. Hotellet ligger lige ud til vandet. Pænt store rene værelser, god hård seng, og en glimrende terrasse, med perfekt udsigt over vandet. De har enfremragende morgenmads buffet. De tager hygiejnen meget seriøst, så man spiser morgenmad i hold, 2 personer per bord, og man skal lige tage en temperatur test inden man går ind. Glimrende rengøring på værelset, meget venlig betjening i receptionen og generelt af personalet. Man kan bestille taxa fra lufthavnen via hotellet hvilket kan anbefales. Vi fravalgte det, da vi ville prøve lufthavnsbussen. Det var bestemt også en god oplevelse, men desværre kører bussen ikke til hotellet, så man skal have en taxa eller en anden bus fra det næstsidste stop, hvilket er noget bøvlet. Hotellet ligger ca 5. Km fra Funchal centrum, men man kan sagtens gå ind til byen langs med vandet. Hotellet kan bestemt anbefales til prisen, og er et sted vi bestemt vil overveje at bruge igen.

Fremragende belligenhed

Første besøg på Madeira, og derfor selvfølgelig også første gang på Orca Praia Hotel. Blev bestemt IKKE skuffet. Fantastisk beliggenhed og meget venligt og hjælpsomt personale. Og ikke mindst en virkelig god rengøring. Vi havde et meget dejlig værelse og en kæmpe terrasse på 5. sal. Der er havudsigt fra alle værelser, så ingen bliver snydt for den fantastiske udsigt fra terrassen/balkonen. En meget venlig og smilende betjening, såvel i reception/bar samt poolbar. Hotellet kan meget varmt anbefales... dog ikke til gangbesværede. Derudover havde hotellet havde sørget for rigtig god mad og underholdning juleaften. Vi vender helt sikkert tilbage.

Orca Praia review

The hotel was nice and clean. Balcony was massive. Food at breakfast was ok but a little more variety would have been nice. No air conditioning was a big negative but told or would be installed by January 2024. A lot of steps down to the pool. But pool area and pool snack bar was lovely. A shop closer would also have been nice and more storage like drawers as there were no drawers.

Great views

Lovely welcome on arrival, staff friendly & helpful. Our room was spacious with the most amazing views over the ocean. Teamaking facilities in the room but no milk provided. You need to buy some but there isn't a supermarket local to the hotel, there is a small fridge in the room should you purchase some. We knew there was no air conditioning in the room but never expected the rooms to be so hot! We had no choice but to have the doors open over night to let air circulate, unfortunately this led to mosquitos coming in & were bitten over & over again. I've never known such persistent mozzies, they continue to bite even when repellent has been applied. Pool area is lovely, peaceful & very clean, there were always plenty of beds & umbrellas available. There are steps & slopes to climb on your way back to the hotel but no where as bad as I expected given previous reviews I'd read. The food is very good in the snack/pool bar. We had bed & breakfast & I did find the food a little disappointing. I was looking forward to a choice of fresh fruits but it was mainly melon & slices of orange, other days pineapple was available. The breads were fresh but the toaster often broke & one day actually caught fire! We did try the buffet evening meal & were pleasantly surprised, the variety of foods was good. It was 25 euros pp which was good value for three courses. If you want to eat out you have a couple restaurants close to the hotel, otherwise you have to walk about 30 minutes into the next village which gives a bit more choice. Depending on your fitness levels, you could walk into Funchal or catch the bus at the top of the drive. There is a courtesy bus but this gets booked up very quickly & we soon found out that other guests booked it for everyday regardless of whether they used it or not. This really is a lovely place to stay, not sure I would return but this is simply down the lack of air conditioning & lack of amenities local to the hotel.

NO AIR CONDITIONING!!!

NO AIR CONDITIONING in any of the rooms, please note this as it was quite hot when we stayed here. You had to leave the sliding glass doors open, cover yourself with insect repellent and try to sleep. Parking is quite limited so be sure to reserve a parking spot (5 Euro's), staff is very cordial and helpful. The breakfast was very good, it was air conditioned in the community areas. View and sunset were incredible but the no A.C. is a non starter for us, so glad we were there for just one night.If you are okay with that, this is a great place!
