The Views Baia - Adults Only

Good

Good

I stayed at Views Baia at the end of a week-long walking holiday, and it was exactly what I needed. My room was beautiful and very spacious, and wonderfully quiet, so I slept really well. The spa was absolutely amazing and a real treat for tired legs after days on the trails! Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice to set you up for the day. The views are stunning. The hotel is within walking distance of the city centre; it's a bit of a stroll, but if you enjoy walking like I do, that's all part of the charm. I'd happily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, calm and a bit of pampering.

Honestly, very little. My only complaint is a mosquito that found its way into my room and enjoyed an absolute feast on my leg while I slept! To be fair, that's hardly the hotel's fault, and there's not much they could have done about it. A plug-in repellent in the room might be a nice touch for future guests, though.

- great mattress - parking on site - tea/coffee facilities in the room (fridge as well) - good sized room - breakfast very good - outdoor pool clean - good location - 20 min walk to centre of Funchal

- terrible pillows - there is a pillow bar but costs extra if you want a „normal“ pillow that is neither too big nor too small - cool window in the bathroom but cannot open it…

Staff was really nice!

Our overall experience was disappointing. We had to call reception more than once due to noise above our room (a rooftop party). The music was very loud after midnight, and when the party ended, it seems they were tidying up the space. Unfortunately, we could hear furniture being dragged and other noises after 1am. It got even worse early in the morning, when we were woken up by housekeeping talking loudly in the corridor for a long time. The place is amazing and the staff members were also very nice, but when you choose to stay at a hotel or any accommodation, it is to rest, enjoy your stay, and relax. Unfortunately, we were unable to do that.
