Good Points

This is the 3rd year running that my wife and I have stayed at this hotel and we look forward to going back again next year.


Bad Points

Very few, perhaps the only one that comes to mind is the fact that disabled people, or persons who have difficulty climbing steep hills may not enjoy thier stay as virtually everywhere you go is a 1 in 4 hill. however this hotel is wheelchair friendly.


General Comments

I would strongly recommend that you upgrade your Oasis Atlantic Hotel room to a junior suite, on the front of the building to maximise your views, these suites are spacious, have a separate bedroom, dining area/kitchenette, which has everything you could possibly want for your stay. if there is no suite available, then a room with a pool view will make your stay memorable.
The hotel itself just seems to get better, the staff treat you with unreserved friendliness and courtesy, cannot do enough to please, the service in the restaruant gets better, the food is absolutely gorgeous, my wife and I put on a lot of weight during this last fortnight.
The nightly entertainment is both proffessional and colourful, with a variety of local artists, some of which deserve to be on a far bigger stage than Canico.
The free bus to the Island capital (Funchal) makes numerous trips every day and also goes to the village of Canico where the locals shop at the SA supermarket (the best value for your holiday shopping needs).
This year it was nice to see a lot more families at the hotel, the children really enjoyed the pool, which is absolutely spotless, is cleaned every morning and is a joy to swim in.
All in all another excellent holiday, we have no reservations about recommending this hotel to anyone.
Canico de Baixo is not a touristy area, it is very much a Madeirian experience, once you have been there, you, like me will want to go back year after year.
