First time in Madeira ❤️
Pros:

Very clean 👌 breakfast was amazing, so fresh and plenty of everything 😋 staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful 👏 sunbathing on the side of a cliff with 109 steps from my room was just amazing, little breeze, dip in the ocean pool and plenty of room for everyone 👌 entertainment in the evening was an added bonus, very talented singers and dancers 😀 my sea view room in Roca Mar was the topping on the cake, very private 😉 with a hig enough balcony, not overlooked by anyone 👌 cleaner cleaned the room everyday and insisted when we said it was fine, how they work in the heat is beyond me👏 fair play girl's 💪 I'll definitely be back. Josie 🇮🇪

Cons:

Air conditioning wasn't the best, room still felt hot with it on😯

väga mõnus olemine, hea asukoht lennujaama ja pealinna suhtes.
Pros:

väga hea hommikusöök ja vaatega ookeanile. Väga hubane koht, vee äärde ehitatud trepid ja erinevad tasemed, kus pikutada, väga ilus vaade. Palju krabisid kivide peal!

Cons:

kohvi oli vilets, ainult espresso oli päris, muu oli mingi pulbriõudus

An enjoyable relaxing holiday at Roca Mar!
Pros:

Roca Mar is located on the sea front giving some great views looking out over the multi-level swimming and sun bathing areas. Loads to do in the hotel from scuba diving, lido, Golds gym, massage. activities like the scuba diving may have been an extra cost, I'm not sure as most of my activities we're outside the hotel.
I picked this hotel as I wanted somewhere quieter than Funchal and a bit more chilled out. If you did want to go to Funchal though they was a daily mini bus service run from the hotel as well as cheap reliable public transport.
The restaurant and bar area were decent too offering a wide variety of breakfast items plus it had a great terrace for enjoying drinks and food. Loads of different restaurants around Roca Mar in Canico too.
The staff were helpful and easy to communicate with.
All in all a very enjoyable stay at Roca Mar.

Cons:

No major complaints. If pushed maybe the room seemed a bit dated (The hotel was like three hotels in one and I stayed in the Blue Orchid part, the Roca Mar part did look a bit more up market)
you had to rent a key for the room safe instead of a pin code safe, so you had to hide the key everyday and make sure you didn't lose it. 2.50 Euro's a day
