The location is right on the ocean which is terrific and the views spectacular. Walking distance to Reis Magos beach and several restaurants and a lovely bakery.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Hotel is located right on the ocean and walkable to restaurants and markets. Our room had a fantastic sea view, spacious clean with big walk-in shower and very quiet. Buffet breakfast was satisfactory with plenty of seating. Happy hour in the bar was a nice bonus. Paid parking is recommended as street parking is limited.

Amazing stay at Rocamar. We had a beautiful sea view room and the reception staff were very helpful whenever we had questions. Caniço is a wonderful place to stay if you want to be away from the hustle and bustle of Funchal. The hotel even had a diving centre located inside where we were able to sign up for a try dive last minute!

Long wait at reception even just to return a towel. Very grumpy older lady at reception, although other staff there were very nice. Terrible dinner buffet (overcooked tuna, vegetables etc), dishes almost empty and not repleneshed, poor dessert choice (1 cake!!), very expensive (29.50 euros which for two was almost 100.00!!!!). Many other option to eat in the area.No shade at primary pool area. Room very clean, beds very hard. Very pleasant cleaning staff and SAMUEL at the omelette station for breakfast was amazing!!!! Breakfast buffet was very good. If you stay here be prepared to walk uphill to get anywhere. It was fine for us, but anyone who has difficulty walking would struggle!! Unfortunately I would not recommend this resort as there are many other options in the area.

Good hotel, stunning views, terrible pillows

The first thing that you need from a hotel is good sleep. With the almost-flat pillows here it was a terrible sleep. Hotel has amazing views of the ocean situated right on top of it. Room was large and comfortable. Good value for money too.

Great front desk. Great facilities. Clean and bright and big rooms. Breakfast (due to the rain) was crowded and a bit harried inside with tour groups there. Suggest breakfast out somewhere if the resort is busy. Food excellent. Coffee wait a bit of a problem. Great restaurants nearby. Overall wonderful stay.

Amazing Birthday trip

This was really a amazing experience for me, I have done many solo trips and this by far the most wonderful stay… the room offered was perfect. The sea facing view was mind blowing. Great food and service provided by the staff. They staff are really good and helpful… on my birthday the staff left me a beautiful note and champagne which was so heart warming.. Thank you so much… would love to come back again as I need to try different facilities provided by the resort. Thank you once again.

Great location. Calm area by the ocean. Close to everything you need : public bus stop, taxi or rentals, snorkeling and dive office, grocery stores, restaurants and cafes. Our stay has been upgraded with no initial request for. That sense of initiative was very much appreciated. The support and service from reception and also from canteen have been on a top level ! Thank you to all the team!

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel has good potential, as it is fascinatingly located and has an impressive building mass in harmony with nature. The breakfast restaurant is reminiscent of a sterile canteen in a hospital. It was terribly noisy in the room. No soundproofing at all, but good acoustics. Doors and cabinet doors slammed shut all around. You could clearly hear the TV and chatter in the neighboring rooms.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

The hotel is average at best. It is definitely not 4* as advertised. Maybe once back in the 90s. You are made to wear a wristband even if on a B&B package, not something I’ve seen in a 4* before. It lacks any personality or ambiance and has an eery atmosphere. The decor is sterile. In fact, it is 3 hotels merged into one and each are decorated differently with the Royal Orchid meant to be the better part. It is not. The terraces are cold and uninviting, some are oddly huge without much furniture. Rooms are depressingly boring. The hotel bar is not a place you’d want to spend time in, the evening entertainment is naff. There is a much better 4*hotel and bar round the corner that’s worth a visit - Sentido Galomar. The breakfast is whatever you can make of it and feels worse than a hectic school canteen. One redeeming feature is the gym, though the staff aren’t the friendliest. Check in took forever, so much paperwork and not much information given about certain things around the hotel, we had to figure things out for ourselves. The location is fine, easily accessible to the rest of Madeira and walkable to a beach. We did end up spending more than planned as didn’t want to spend any longer than we had to in the hotel or our room.

The sea view was lovely and the beds were pretty comfortable. Had balcony which was nice. The hotel had several parts. We were in the Rocamar self catering studios and I have to say felt like we were treated less because of this. The royal orchard is very smart & shiny. The self catering block was tired and a bit run down. There was rust & peeling around the mirror in bathroom & bottom of the bathroom door was flaking wood & paint. There were ants in the kitchenette ( probably not much can be done in a hot country but meant we barely ate there having made effort to go self catering with my small child & not have the stress & pay to eat out all the time with 5 yr old). When it rained the room flooded very badly. Luckily I did nit have anything on the floor on that side of the room. The drain from the roof empties into the patio which slopes towards the room so a LOT of water came in. I had to use all the towels & blankets to stop it. When I told reception in the morning she just shrugged and said the cleaner would bring towels. They were in no way apologetic or even very bothered about it.
