Just returned from a week staying at the Views Oasis (Aug 2026) The setting is beautiful and the hotel was very clean and well kept throughout. It was nice to be able to explore the streets around the hotel which had a few smaller restaurants and bars. We could walk along the sea front and paddle in the sea (beach is rocks all round though) The rooms we had were very large and spacious with working air con which was much needed. You could arrange for housekeeping to attend rather than expect it every day although they did pop in and check you had enough toilet rolls etc. All of the staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. They all spoke good enough English to be able to understand what we needed. The hotel provided a free bus to Funchal every week day so we visited there a couple of days too. There is only 1 outdoor pool which is salt water. There is another indoor pool in the spa area which we could use too. No scrabble for sun beds in the morning which was brilliant although my only criticism would be that there were not enough parasols to go round. You collected the parasol top from a central point. As people headed down in the afternoon there was no way to get shade if you hadn’t grabbed one in the morning. Some were ripped as it was quite breezy on our first day so I can understand why, however hopefully more will be purchased so there are enough ‘tops’ to match the adequate number of parasol bases that were available. We were all inclusive and the food choices were fine for us. The pool bar did some nice lunches. Breakfast was the typical choice of cooked foods such as eggs, bacon, beans, hash browns etc, there were also pastries, fruit, cheeses and meats, cereals etc. There were themed nights for the evening meal- our favourite was most definitely the BBQ night. There wasn’t much in the way of evening entertainment as such. Often a solo or small group performer. There was a karaoke night which was calm with some good guest performances. Day time activities consisted of a short aqua aerobics session with pretty much the same songs played each day. There were some kids activities I think and an indoor children’s play area with a ball pit. The hotel experience I would say was more calm and restful than previous holidays we’ve taken but this was exactly what we wanted. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend choosing this hotel particularly if you have older children (ie teenagers) who would enjoy relaxing by the pool.
