Outstanding Orca Praia
Spent a fabulous week in Maderia, staying at Orca Praia. Cannot fault this hotel. Every room has a sea view ( we were in 508). Rooms are HUGE! Bed very comfortable. 2 large wing chairs. Plenty of storage. Bathroom had large walk in shower and complimentary toiletries. On B&B basis, but the breakfast was lovely. Freshly restocked and plentiful. Staff all helpful and friendly. Had a few insects… Spent a fabulous week in Maderia, staying at Orca Praia. Cannot fault this hotel. Every room has a sea view ( we were in 508). Rooms are HUGE!

Ok hotel terrible management
The hotel is in a good location. The pool area is very nice. Breakfast was fine but no where near the best we have had on the island. Staff in general are helpful. Beware of false advertising. When you speak to the hotel they will tell you all their deluxe sea view rooms have a balcony. They do not! When discussing the issue reception staff were sympathetic and recognised that we had been given in… The hotel is in a good location. The pool area is very nice.

As a result of this, my partner spent 7 days (the entire holiday) without his c… We had an incident during our stay at Hotel Orca Praia (Funchal).

Stunning 4 stars adults only hotel with acces to black sand beach. Very calm atmosphere. Extremely clean. All rooms face the ocean. The breakfast is not too diverse but good quality food.
