The thing I liked about Canico was that it had a great traditional look and feel to it unlike a lot of the other resorts which have become completely commercialised. From the beach you can enjoy the endless views out into the Atlantic and further in you can walk around the town and admire the historical buildings. Canico also has a couple of nice golf course where you can try your hand at a few rounds of Golf. Although these are plenty of activities to do in Canico it is really most suited for people looking for a relaxing holiday.Funchal, Madeira, Portugal Charming hotel, great staff Rating: 9/10

Just returned from a delightful 2 week break at the Tivoli Ocean Park. I could not fault this hotel in any way, staff were friendly and facilities exceptional. It’s located on the sea front on a bit of a slope and Funchal 'centre' is about a 40minute walk away, this may bother some but I quite enjoy the walk. The only negative was the noise; they’re doing construction either side of the hotel at the mo and it starts at 8am.Porto Santo, Madeira, Portugal Porto Santo paradise Rating: 7/10

Took a ferry trip to Porto Santo (it's about 2hr 30min) - a divine little island which is definitely worth a visit. The island is only 14km long and 5km wide, and famous for its 9km of golden sand beach which is situated on the south of the island. Water sports here are outstanding; you’re spoilt for choice… there’s game fishing, diving, canoeing, sailing and much more. Nice trip but not much else to do if you don’t want to be on the beach!

A quiet place, not much in the way of nightlife but there are enough bars, restaurants and shops to keep you entertained. Stayed in the Dom Pedro Baía Club Hotel which overlooks the beach of Machico Bay, it’s an old hotel but the rooms are clean and comfortable just make sure you get a room with a balcony. Food is ok but the choice is fairly limited. Leisure facilities are excellent and there’s a separate pool for children. The resort is surrounded by lots of nature, it offers a superb base for walking. Madeira - Other, Madeira, Portugal Wonderful holiday. Rating: 8/10

I totally fell in love with The Cliff Bay hotel in Madeira that I and my family stayed in, the view was awesome! The pool was huge and with the ocean in the back ground, that made our holiday complete. The hotel rooms were very spacious, clean, and airy and luxury and the service provided was spot on. The beach was fantastic, golden sand and beautiful blue sea and very calm too. The beach bar was good, had a play area for the kids so that kept them busy and happy while me and my wife sunbathed and took in the amazing views. In the evening we would stay in the hotel and watch the plays and live singers, it was very entertaining. There was a few bars and clubs out side of the hotel but they never catered for children in the evening so that was a let down, but we had fun anyway regardless. I would truly enjoy going back to Madeira for a second visit.Porto Santo, Madeira, Portugal Rating: 7/10

Porto Santo has an amazing beach and the hotel was top as well. The resort is very quiet and there is not many tourists to spoil everything. I enjoyed my time relaxing on the beach and taking in the scenery, and the sea is beautiful too, known for the best minerals in the world. In the town square there is a few restaurants, cosy bars and clubs for you to enjoy, especially after a long lazy day on the beach. Most things are cheap so there is nothing to worry bout when spending either...Sao Vincent, Madeira, Portugal Rating: 8/10

Sao Vicente is pretty resort. I loved the Volcanic Caves and the Capela de San Roque. The holiday wasn't a sunbathing holiday but that never bothered me one bit, I adore beautiful scenery and exploring new things, you can't do that while sitting by the pool... We went on a day trip to the Sao Vicente Volcanically formed caves, we walked through the cave and saw the lava channels, it was a great experience. In the village you can enjoy rock cakes and hot wines, this was new to me and I would definitely recommend it to others.Garajau, Madeira, Portugal Rating: 8/10

Garajau is a nice and relaxing resort to visit. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic, (Dom Pedro Garajau) was very clean and the pool was gorgeous. The beach was close by so if you got bored of the pool side then you could spend sometime at the beach. There were boat rides and wind surfing plus you could hire a jet bike and go across to another island and chill but that was costly. The view from the sea was ace, the mountains gave it that real holiday feeling. I recommend Garajau to everyone.Machico, Madeira, Portugal Rating: 6/10

I stayed in a beautiful hotel based in Machico's resort overlooking a wonderful beach. The hotel staff were amazing, always there to help out and the service they gave was 100%... There was also 3 pools, 2 for the adults and 1 for the kids. There was also a little waterfall in the pool over hanging a small bridge, it also had a little area in between the waterfall where you could relax. The beach had everything you could dream of like; volley ball, pedal boats, jet ski's, scuba diving and much more. It was a fantastic holiday and I will be going back for sure.Funchal, Madeira, Portugal Rating: 7/10

Me and my boyfriend stayed in the Madeira Palacio hotel overlooking the sea, the view was out of this world. The pool area was also beautiful with palm tree's all round and a small bar too. We wasn't far from Funchal's centre which was brilliant as I enjoy browsing round the capital and viewing the amazing buildings and culture. I enjoyed every minute of my stay in Funchal and would love to return with my family someday.Canico, Madeira, Portugal Rating: 4/10

Canico is not my ideal choice of holiday but my boyfriend booked the holiday as a suprise. Canico wasn't lively enough and the hotel was miles away from the beach and the pool area was to small and cramped. Canico is not a bad place, I would not say it's a dull resort, if the hotel was closer to the coast and the resort was more livelier then it would of been ok... You do have a choice of restaurants, bars and clubs but there mainly in the centre of Canico and its a taxi drive to get there so that put me off. I enjoy a package holiday with a hotel very close to the beach and a view of the island from my hotel window, and also restaurants, pubs and clubs at your finger tips. Madeira, Portugal Rating: 8/10

Me and my family are very active and enjoy the outdoor, so when we arrived in Madeira we was very happy with the whole package we received. We walked through the valeys and up the mountains and came across a waterfall and pool area to swim in, that was very nice. We also explored the Madeira gardens and tasted the fine wine being served through out the day. It is a special place to visit and We would definitely be returning to Madeira very soon. |
