John
The value for money at Orca Praia was great, with nice, clean rooms and an amazing view. The location was perfect, right beside the beach and a short walk from Churchill Bay. The staff were polite and courteous, making our stay enjoyable.
The breakfast selection could have been improved, particularly with more variety of options.

Very good 3* hotel.
No a/c. Passage to the beach is steep. No good for old people and small kids.

I like it's location - away from, but accessible to, Funchal. I like that it's quiet. I like the views (from every room). I think the informal buffet arrangement is good and efficient.
The beds are quite hard.

The value for money at the hotel was great, considering the spacious and nicely furnished rooms, with a comfortable bed and a gorgeous view of the sea from the big terrace. The location was perfect, right on the beach, with a lovely part of Famosa Beach just in front of the hotel. The staff at Orca Praia were incredibly cooperative and polite, making check-in quick and providing helpful assistance throughout our stay.
Hotel breakfast could use some improvement with more variety and changes in the menu.

The hotel offers a great location to relax by the beach and take in the beautiful ocean views from the terrace. The staff is polite and cooperative, and the breakfast is delicious with fresh fruits and tasty bread. While the walk to Funchal is quite long, there is a free shuttle during weekdays, and the city bus stops right outside the hotel.
Nothing.

The view from the terrace was breathtaking, overlooking the vast blue ocean was worth every penny. The staff was polite and always ready to help, making our stay comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and had a good variety of options to choose from. The pool was clean and well-maintained, providing a perfect spot to take a dip and relax.
The climb to the pool and beach was quite steep and tiring, not ideal for those with mobility issues. The room felt a bit outdated and in need of some renovation, especially the bathroom.

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The location is perfect for us as bike riders, with easy access to the stunning promenade that connects us to the charming town of Camara de Lobos. The views from our room were breathtaking, overlooking the ocean and providing the soothing sounds of the waves. The breakfast buffet was diverse and satisfied all of our cravings, especially the delicious bread and fresh fruits. The pool on the beach was a real plus, offering a relaxing and well-maintained space for us to unwind after a day of cycling.
We felt truly looked after during our stay at Hotel Orca Praia, with no complaints at all. The staff were helpful, the location was stunning, and the rooms were comfortable.

The hotel is situated right beside a beautiful boulevard and beach, offering stunning views of the ocean. Rooms are spacious and clean with hot water and quality towels replaced daily, while the staff is friendly and efficient, catering to guests in several languages. The restaurant offers delicious food with choices of fish and meat each evening, while the pool area is adorned with plentiful sunbeds.
The hotel lacks sufficient parking spaces, making it difficult for guests to park their vehicles.

The location right on the beach was perfect for us, as we love to relax and soak up the sun. The hotel was situated on a cliff, providing breathtaking views from our spacious and clean room. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and admiring the stunning scenery. The service was excellent, with the staff always friendly and attentive. We took advantage of the room service and found it to be prompt and efficient. The hotel also offered a range of services, including car hire, dry cleaning, and bicycle hire, which made our stay even more convenient. The free WiFi in our room was a definite bonus. We also appreciated the beautiful garden area and the access to the beach. this place exceeded our expectations in terms of comfort and quality.
We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay with stunning views and top-notch service.

The hotel had a lovely view of the sea and was located near public transportation. The complementary breakfast was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel lacked amenities and was quite outdated. The room was not very comfortable and there was a lack of electrical outlets.

We had an amazing experience at this luxurious hotel. The location is perfect with the coastal walking path right next to it, offering a breathtaking view of the ocean. We enjoyed strolling along the path, reaching the nearby village in just about 20 minutes. Moreover, this place is right on the beach, allowing us to swim in the ocean while also relaxing by the hotel pool. The rooms were spacious and clean, with large balconies facing the ocean. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere throughout our stay.
We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The courtesy bus service and public bus available at the doorstep made transportation around the area hassle-free.
