The Views Oasis

Very clean and relaxing hotel, welcoming staff and stunning views. Definitely worth upgrading to a sea view room. It was my husband’s birthday whilst we were there and they surprised us with a meal, bottle of wine and birthday cake, absolutely lovely gesture. If you are looking for a relaxing holiday, this is perfect, with a bus stop outside the hotel if you want to go into Funchal.

The hotel was welcoming and comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly , especially the head waiter Paul. Room 417 had a lovely sea view. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The balcony was narrow with just enough room for a small table and 2 chairs. There was a kettle and fridge, TV , air con etc. In the self service restaurant the food was good, with lots of choice of fresh fruit and salad, cheeses and cooked eggs, bacon,etc at breakfast and also lots of choice of meat, fish, salads and vegetables at dinner, and lots of choice of puddings. For the all inclusive option, the lunch options at the pool bar were from a small menu but most options were included, 2 soups, some salads, some toasted sandwiches, some grilled meats including steak and chicken and burgers, and the portions were good. Pudding at lunch was limited to fruit salad or one cake each day and only cornettos and ice lollies. The selection of drinks was good but local cider would have been a good addition, and more non alcoholic options would have been welcome. On two evenings through the week there was an a la carte option, one for fish lovers, one for meat. We had the a la carte fish lovers dinner, which included a set amuse bouch and soup, then a choice of about 6 fish dishes, and a choice of 2 puddings. Service and presentation were good. The evening entertainment was good and varied, with excellent and memorable guitarists, drummer and violinist one evening and another evening a magician who engaged well with the children in the audience. The public areas were bright and airy and the outside pool area was spotless and spacious, with beautiful sea views and the sound of the breaking waves as a background. The indoor pool area and spa were very warm and clean. The gardens are well kept, with a small herb and vegetable garden. Outside the hotel there is a promenade leading to a pebbled beach area used for swimming, diving and wind surfing with two cafes. In the other direction the walk was less scenic and soon left the shore to go through a built up area leading steeply uphill eventually reaching Caniço. The local bus stopped just outside the hotel and stopped at Caniço and other places and took 45 minutes to reach Funchal. Bus fare 2.20 euros each way. Some day trips went from the hotel. Although checkout was at noon we were made welcome and as all inclusive guests still got lunch and drinks until we left in the evening. Overall the experience was good and very peaceful and we were happy with our stay. The building work was minimal and did not impact our stay at all.

great experience for families, lots to do and would definitely recommend and visit again, rooms were great and in good condition, really good accommodated for families especially kids, food was perfect as was everything else; stayed for 10 days and enjoyed every bit.

This is a fantastic hotel in a great beach location. Our room was huge with fabulous views of the sea. Breakfast was great with a large selection to choose from. Evening dinner was nice but meal’s could have been a bit hotter. Great well equipped gym and lovely inside pool and spa. Lovely pool area outside. You can walk along the seafront but it is hilly if you go up behind the hotel. The hotel offers a shuttle to Funchal and there is also a local bus stop outside. The staff were very helpful and friendly especially the client relations manager. Just be aware there is some refurbishment currently being carried out which may affect your stay. We will certainly return to this lovely hotel on this beautiful island.

We had a marvelous 2 weeks holiday, 15th to 29th December Bed and Breakfast at The Views Oasis via Jet2. A few days before departure, I emailed the hotel and asked if a surprise bouquet of flowers of a set value could be delivered to our room on my wife's 60th birthday,, I said I would pay on arrival. I also asked if our seaview room could benefit from the evening sunshine. The hotels response was brilliant, on arrival we were given room 132 and found our balcony had sunshine from mid morning till sunset.A few days later, at the very helpful reception, I paid for the flowers and they were placed in our room the following morning, whilst we were at breakfast. The buffet breakfasts were varied, plentiful, fresh and delicious, from coffee, tea, fruit juices, cereals and fruits, to hot bacon, sausages, eggs, beans and bespoke show cooked omelettes to breads, pasties, toast and preserves, cold meats, cheese, salads, yogurts and fresh fruits. On returning to our room a complimentary bottle of sparkly on ice with champagne flutes were placed on the desk along with the flowers beautifully displayed in a glass vase. ( Previously, reception informed me the hotel would arrange as a surprise for my wife, a bottle of sparkly in our room and although we were B&B a complimentary evening meal in the restaurant.) We had a birthday toast, then took the free hotel shuttle bus into Funchal to visit Blandys wine lodge museum, for a tour and tasting of Madeira wine (15 euros pp). Later we went down to the restaurant, my wife was welcomed with beaming smiles and birthday wishes, we were shown to a specially dressed table overlooking the pool. We had delicious food and wine and then the restaurant staff emerged from the kitchen singing Happy Birthday and carrying a special decorated cake. To round off a fantastic day we went to the bar for a relaxing drink and enjoy the evening show, during our 2 week stay there were singers, keyboard/vocalists, magician, puppeteer, folk dancers all very good holiday entertainment. The Christmas Eve Gala meal with drinks + Christmas Day meal were superb and well worth the combined price of 95 euros pp. We booked The Nuns Valley tour via Jet2 rep, stunning views, and Funchal Christmas Lights with the hotel, fantastic displays. The hotel inside was spotless, the pool area and the gardens were well maintained. Our room was cleaned every day except Christmas Day and all the cleaning staff were cheerful. Special thanks to Ivone and reception staff and Paulo and the restaurant staff for helping to make our stay in Madiera one we will never forget. Would I book this hotel again? YES Would I recommend to a friend YES

I’m writing this review whilst sitting in one of the hotel’s bright and airy lounges. The views are amazing and as near to the ocean as you can get without actually getting your feet wet! The hotel is wonderful, 10/10 in every respect. And I’m fairly fussy, having worked in top end hospitality for many years, and as an accommodation assessor for Visit Britain. The bedroom is comfortable with a quality mattress and lovely bed linen, plenty of storage space and a huge TV The bathroom has a great shower and everything works as it should. We are on the 5th floor with a sea view room and it is breathtaking! And the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach has rocked us to sleep every night. We booked bed & breakfast but have eaten dinner in the restaurant on 3 evenings out of 7 - lovely fresh food, usual buffet style but lots of choice with loads of salads, vegetables and fruits. The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have ever experienced - even when compared to 5 star hotels. Everywhere is immaculately clean and well maintained - not a single issue or complaint here! And finally, but definitely not least, the staff - they are the jewel in this fantastic hotel’s crown. Everyone has gone out of their way to ensure our stay is the best it can be. Special mention to Liliana and Leandro on reception who have gone above and beyond for us. We have had the most wonderful week and really don’t want to go home! Our flight back to the UK has been cancelled due to high winds so we have an extra day here and are absolutely delighted! Thank you so much to everyone at the Four Views Oasis. We are already planning our next visit. 😊🌞 Jayne & Karl
