Hotel Orca Praia

Simple and humble hotel Easy place close to funchal Swiming pool perfect just hill kill me

Tudo muito bom.

The hotel is great being on the seafront as it stands plus reception staff and all the cleaning and service staff were very helpful and friendly and my partner was treated to a gift from the hotel on his big 60th birthday falling on our 2nd day as the cleaner must have seen the cards and informed the management. We had no aircon but they are currently fitting the infrastructure for this which did not detract from the stay and any room issues were quickly resolved. A courtesy bus runs 2x a day taking guests to and from the hotel to Funchal which can be also be reached by a no1 bus or by walking which takes approx 1.5 hours.The breakfasts were varied and there was a large choice of options for vegetarians, we like to eat out at different venues so didnt go half or full board. I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel whose rooms overlook the sea which is relaxing at night, and the lovely pool which does too and would definitely stay again.

Terrible stay … terrible rooms, terrible food, terrible view, terrible Sea, terrible pools, terrible reception, never ever more

Location is perfect Staff are just great Breakfast very good Very happy here Right on the beachfront. It’s a quiet location which suits us. There are lovely beach shack/ restaurants which serve really well cooked food beautifully presented and nice drinks a short walk away Very reasonably priced. Swimming in the sea in front of this hotel is wonderful or there is a large hotel pool It’s perfect all round Oh. And there is a free shuttle bus into Funchal daily

+ view about the ocean + access to a black sand beach + personal, very helpful + nice pool + bus station close to the hotel + private bus shuttle - no air condition on my booked room (floor 1) - Room floor could be renovated

Second visit to the orca praia hotel,such a lovely hotel with fantastic views of the ocean.brilliant staff already booked to return.will never stop going to this hotel.there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel which runs every 30 minutes to Funchal,tip purchase a bus card,makes the cost over a week to pennies.greeat walks along sea ront I either direction.

Just come back from this gorgeous hotel, the view was breathtaking. The hotel itself was very clean and pleasant. The staff literally couldn’t do enough for you. It won’t be my last time staying here it was amazing. I think this hotel could easily become five stars with just a couple of little changes. And even without that it has my heart anyway. Loved it.

Great hotel in a fantastic location. Enchanting views of the ocean from all rooms, the suite is spacious and has a large balcony. Very hospitable and helpful team.The distance from the city center is not a problem, because along the beach promenade runs a nice shortcut to the city. I will definitely visit this hotel again!
