PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

The hotel is average at best. It is definitely not 4* as advertised. Maybe once back in the 90s. You are made to wear a wristband even if on a B&B package, not something I’ve seen in a 4* before. It lacks any personality or ambiance and has an eery atmosphere. The decor is sterile. In fact, it is 3 hotels merged into one and each are decorated differently with the Royal Orchid meant to be the better part. It is not. The terraces are cold and uninviting, some are oddly huge without much furniture. Rooms are depressingly boring. The hotel bar is not a place you’d want to spend time in, the evening entertainment is naff. There is a much better 4*hotel and bar round the corner that’s worth a visit - Sentido Galomar. The breakfast is whatever you can make of it and feels worse than a hectic school canteen. One redeeming feature is the gym, though the staff aren’t the friendliest. Check in took forever, so much paperwork and not much information given about certain things around the hotel, we had to figure things out for ourselves. The location is fine, easily accessible to the rest of Madeira and walkable to a beach. We did end up spending more than planned as didn’t want to spend any longer than we had to in the hotel or our room.

The sea view was lovely and the beds were pretty comfortable. Had balcony which was nice. The hotel had several parts. We were in the Rocamar self catering studios and I have to say felt like we were treated less because of this. The royal orchard is very smart & shiny. The self catering block was tired and a bit run down. There was rust & peeling around the mirror in bathroom & bottom of the bathroom door was flaking wood & paint. There were ants in the kitchenette ( probably not much can be done in a hot country but meant we barely ate there having made effort to go self catering with my small child & not have the stress & pay to eat out all the time with 5 yr old). When it rained the room flooded very badly. Luckily I did nit have anything on the floor on that side of the room. The drain from the roof empties into the patio which slopes towards the room so a LOT of water came in. I had to use all the towels & blankets to stop it. When I told reception in the morning she just shrugged and said the cleaner would bring towels. They were in no way apologetic or even very bothered about it.

It was by far the best experience during my first trip to Madeira Island. Our room had a balcony which overlooked the Atlantic Ocean and listening/watching the waves crash against the cliff rocks was simply surreal! Would definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely go back for more!

Enjoyed Our Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Hotel is located right on the ocean and walkable to restaurants and markets. Our room had a fantastic sea view, spacious clean with big walk-in shower and very quiet. Buffet breakfast was satisfactory with plenty of seating. Happy hour in the bar was a nice bonus. Paid parking is recommended as street parking is limited.

Good hotel, stunning views, terrible pillows

The first thing that you need from a hotel is good sleep. With the almost-flat pillows here it was a terrible sleep. Hotel has amazing views of the ocean situated right on top of it. Room was large and comfortable. Good value for money too.
