we visited madeira for 5 nights and loved it, such a scenic island, some lovely tropical gardens, caves and mountains to drive over, we went beginning of dec and the xmas lights and decorations in funchal were fabulous.
our hotel was more like apartments, it had a small kitchen open plan lounge and double bedroom but not doors except into the bathroom, the balcony had fab views of the sea,it was fairly basic, the shower didnt work great, dripped more than a proper shower and sometimes wasnt very warm, the fridge was fairly noisy at night. but we quite liked the location. the staff were totally unhelpful and clueless as to any sights to see, they didnt even know the monday was a bank holiday so we struggled changing money,a warning the hotel will not accept any other currency or change money, there is a car hire office next to the hotel which we found reasonably priced and you could use the hotel car park too, which was handy, we hired the car and saw some fab sights, high up in the mountains and around the coast of madeira
it was too far out to walk into funchal but the hotel provided a free mini bus week days only for a few restricted hours a day. the hotel was opposite a lovely shopping mall with some gorgeous shops , the beaches arent very nice in madeira but this really is the only bad thing i can say
