Ocean Gardens

I stayed at the Ocean Gardens for a week over Xmas and found it to be a good base for my holiday in Maderia. It's situated just outside of the capital,Funchal, and it's got a convenient bus stop into town right outside the hotel. The drive into town is around 10 minutes and they provided a timetable for the bus. The rooms are very nice and plenty of storage space for your clothes. It has a TV and telephone and small fridge in the room. My only quibble is that they don't have tea/coffee facilities in the room but reception let me have a kettle for my room. The restaurant is nice although I only had a couple of meals in it and preferred to venture into town and try to different restaurants and bars. They have a swimming pool on the 4th floor and I did use the breakfast room every morning and there is a good selection of choices for breakfast. The staff are very friendly and helpful with any questions about the area and they provided a company that does tours around the island. I went with a tour group attached to the company I booked the holiday with but it's worth checking out the different options. I had a nice stay in the Ocean Gardens and can recommend it for a nice option in Maderia

Really great property with amazing views of the bay! Friendly staff too! Shuttle service limited due to maintenance

Such a lovely hotel. The staff are helpful, warm and friendly and made our stay very special. The rooms are spacious and well appointed and the beds are very comfy. The noise from the road can be annoying at night, but we closed the window, put on the air conditioning and slept well. If air con is not your thing, a fan can be provided. Breakfast is very varied and plentiful, and the views from the dining room are fabulous! We ate two evening meals - both were generous, delicious and competitively priced. The pool area is very nice, with plenty of sunbeds arranged around the pool and on the terraces. Pool towels can be collected from reception. The bar is well-stocked, but the one (very small) niggle I had was that there were no individual bags of crisps available, just some offered in a bowl. Buses to Funchal are regular and cost just uner two euros. Would we stay at Ocean Gardens again? Oh yes!!

rooms was little bit noisy

A nice clean hotel. The staff are all lovely and cannot do enough for you. Breakfast is great with a good range of hot, and continental style delectables. Just outside the business of Funchal, but only a cheap 10 minute bus ride to the centre. The views of the ocean are breathtaking. It's a joy to dine taking in such views.

Lovely staff. Great location and superb views.

Wir hatten das Vergnügen, zwei unvergessliche Wochen in diesem traumhaften Hotel auf Madeira zu verbringen, und ich kann mit voller Überzeugung sagen, dass es eine der besten Entscheidungen war, die wir treffen konnten. Das Hotel bot uns von Anfang an ein Gefühl von Luxus und Komfort, das all unsere Erwartungen übertraf. Bereits bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen und mit einem Begrüßungsgetränk willkommen geheißen. Das Personal war durchweg äußerst freundlich, zuvorkommend und stets bemüht, unseren Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Diese Professionalität und Gastfreundschaft hat uns den gesamten Urlaub über begleitet und uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Unser Zimmer war ein wahres Highlight: Geräumig, modern eingerichtet und mit einem atemberaubenden Blick auf den Atlantik. Jeden Morgen wurden wir vom sanften Rauschen der Wellen geweckt und konnten den Sonnenaufgang von unserem eigenen Balkon aus genießen. Die Sauberkeit und der tägliche Zimmerservice waren tadellos – wir fühlten uns rundum wohl. Die Hotelanlage selbst ist ein kleines Paradies. Die Lage des Hotels ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Umgebung. Madeira hat landschaftlich so viel zu bieten und durch die zentrale Lage des Hotels konnten wir die schönsten Orte der Insel in kurzer Zeit erreichen. Das Hotel bietet zudem zahlreiche Freizeitaktivitäten und Ausflüge an, sodass uns nie langweilig wurde.

The property was great. The ocean view fro the balcony was beautiful. The staff was friendly l, and helpful.The property was very clean.

Found this hotel through a Google search. I had some queries before we arrive, responses to emails were very quick and clear. Check in was probably one of the easiest I've ever experienced. All staff were really helpful, courteous and attentive. Room was great, a Superior Bay View, was spacious, bed was big and very comfortable. Plenty of cupboard/drawer space and bathroom was large. Very large balcony with an amazing view. Was immaculately clean on arrival and made up to the same standard every day. Excellent selection for breakfast and lovely breakfast area - airy and cool. You could sit outside if you wanted to. We used the restaurant for a few lunches and dinners. Not a huge menu (which is a good thing) everything we ordered was excellent and reasonably priced. The pool area was very spacious with plenty of loungers and umbrellas. Pool was not big but enough to have a good swim. Spectacular views. Value for money was excellent.
