"Carolina, the concierge was incredible and made this an easy check-in and great trip. She met us at the apartment and explained everything and provided tips about the area. When small issues arose (such as the hair dryer broke) she was quick to solve them. The apartment is in a FANTASTIC location with access to attractions such as funicular and hop on close by.

Top Old Town Funchal Hotel Reviews

Saccharum Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is really amazing I feel like the pictures don't do it justice the pictures are nice that's why I picked this hotel but staying here was a completely different experience and feeling the staff where great especially the staff in the premium lounge I don't noticed I booked for that package but it's a must you get daily breakfast and a evening snack free drinks and it's expensive it's own deck you get access to the spa which is the most discreet and exclusive spa I've been to that line made our trip magical you the spa is down a huge stair case into a hidden oasis in the middle of the hotel completely amazing I can't say enough the hotel it's self is away from tourist attractions bit we wanted that rent a car be cautious they like to drive very fast just book this hotel you will not regret it , the price is high but the experience is well worth it "

The Views Oasis - Family Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room with two bedrooms which gave us all enough space, including the huge private outdoor space. Breakfast buffet was great, only niggle was the fact there were too few umbrellas for the loungers by the pool, which was a shame as there were as no mad dash for loungers and enough to go around. Access to the sauna and steam room were a great bonus, plenty of places to eat out within a 10 minute walk from the hotel,"

Enotel Sunset Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were nice. The breakfast was included and had a variety of fresh food daily. Especially appreciated the drying line in the shower so bathing suits could be hung up to dry. The only downside was the parking situation: a very small underground garage that didn't say it was full (first come, first served), and street parking was next to impossible to find, unless you parked before 6 pm or after 9:30 pm, as many people come to see the sunset (which IS beautiful). No street or underground parking reserved for guests at the hotel. Except for the parking difficulties, a very nice and relaxing stay."
