  Great location and price!

  Liked: It’s a really good location - very friendly - let us store our luggage before and after! So many cute little spots near the Airbnb

  Disliked: The only thing I would have to say is that we had room four and it had an external restroom and the restroom has a skeleton key so you need to be comfortable with using a skeleton key to unlock the restroom door

  The worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. I won’t stay there ever again!

  Liked: The best thing about Hotel Orca Praia (Funchal) is its location and the great sea views. However, I would never stay in that hotel again. We had an incident with our luggage and the direction/management did not care at all. The luck of empathy was astonishing.

  Disliked: We had an incident during our stay at Hotel Orca Praia (Funchal). At arrival to the hotel, we left our luggage in the luggage storage room next to the reception. When we returned to the hotel, to access our room, my partner’s luggage had been taken by mistake by another guest who left to travel to the south of Germany. As a result of this, my partner spent 7 days (the entire holiday) without his clothes and belongings. The hotel did not acknowledge any wrong doing on their part, despite the lack of system to identify luggage at the storage room and to securely handle the luggage to their owners. My partner had to buy some clothes with our own money. The hotel director was dismissive in email communications. He showed an extremely poor customer service and lack of empathy. We did not receive an apology from their side except from one member of the reception staff. I had never had such terrible treatment as a customer. I do not think this is appropriate for a public establishment, let alone a 4-star hotel. I would never stay here again!

  Liked: Room was lovely and the view was stunning and the sound of the sea magical. The staff were lovely and very helpful. It was my birthday while i was there and they sent up a complimentary bottle of wine which was a lovely surprise. A lovely romantic setting. Adults only which was great.There was a bus spot right outside the hotel with brought you into funchal which was very convenient

  Disliked: The fridge in the room could have been better as it was in a press which it shouldn't have been as it was over heating so drinks weren't that cold at times found keeping door of unit opened helped but do think better fridge is need so you can put your own drinks in.. the breakfast was ok but never overly hot. And the pastries were always over cooked. Room service menu not great either.. we only eat in evening once and didn't like the food myself and my husband ordered two different beef dishes but the both came out the same
