Great Location. DISGUSTING Condition.
Good service and location. Poor condition. The rooms are VERY musty with mold. I found two BIG cockroaches during my 6 day stay. The kitchenette is FABULOUS! It's almost a fair price, considering across the street was about $20 more per night (Roca Mar). Really, all they need to do to VASTLY improve this property are two things: replace the worn and moldy carpet with tile. Replace the disgusting unwashed and HEAVILY WORN and DATED bedspreads. The service lady, Diomira, was very nice. Great location near shops and cafes. Far from Funchal, if that's important to you - but much closer to the airport.

Less time outside more inside
If the canico staff spent as much time looking after inside as they did outside then it would be a completely different experience. While they spent all day every day ensuring the outside was stunning, inside the rooms left a lot to be desired. Think 80s sitcom Duty Free and you will get the decor and that was probably the last time it was decorated. The room was very grubby, mouldy and the lamp shades were disgusting! There was no reception to speak of with the key being left under the matt. Towels were not changed and bed was made rarely. Plus it was the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in! All in all very disappointing slight on an otherwise fantastic trip.

I arrived at about 11:00 PM.. A sign at the reception's door let me (and everyone else) know that my key was under the carpet at the door.. My apartment smelled really bad (a mix of mold and cigarettes),. The carpet was filty. The sofa was torned on the side, flity and its mattress totally uncomfortable. A family member who arrived later was unable to sleep on it, and was getting sicker with the smell of the place. On the third day, we saw the maid cleaning the apartment next to us. It was a beautiful one, and we asked if we could take it. That evening, we were able to switch only because no other guests had signed up for it yet. Otherwise, we would have been stuck for 7 other days! Anyway, if anyone gets the type of apartment we got the second time, then they'll get something really good for the price they'll pay.

Canico Bay Club- dated and unstaffed
On arrival there was a note on the door of reception with a list of guests staying over the period of a week with room numbers and the instructions that the key was under the door mat. The apartment had no fridge, which is essential for any stay. I rang the emergency number the next morning to be told the fridge had broken and they would get back to me. No-one did. There was a terrible smell in the apartment which came from two pillows which were black with mildew is the wardrobes. This accom takes your money up front through booking agencies (this was apparent from the list on reception door all the bookings were through agencies) and there is never any one around but a cleaner who only works week-days so no management in sight.

A disappointing holiday in a poor location
I had been really looking forward to my two week summer holiday in Madeira. However, the previous reviews of the Canico Bay Club were misleading. Whilst the apartment was large and clean, the view was appalling. The Royal Orchid took up most of the view and the small square of seaview we had was blighted by local bulders using it as a space to park their digger, truck and a large metal shed that held all their materials. The local bars have no view and no character. The local shop's prices have a 150% plus mark up on the supermarket in Canico. The local so called lovely promenade is a concrete runway surrounded by anodyne hotel blocks. Suffice to say, Canico de Baxio is not a good introduction to Madeira. Also just to say, I left after a week having booked to stay two.

Madeira's best spot
We did the island, all round. This is the best spot for easy access to the city of Funchal and its amenities, access to and from the airport without nuisance, access to all major roads and routes, and a pleasant environment for the evenings. You can visit anywhere on the island within an hour by car, and there is lots to see. Canico, pronounced caniso, is about 9k from the airport, about ten minutes on the new super-highway. It has many high quality hotels around, for dinners and drinks, with music and facilities. This apartment block, for that is what it really is, is charming and pleasant, but has recently seen better days: it is a little bit worn, but both scrupulously clean and comfortable all the same. It is situated right opposite the Royal Orchid Hotel, the only means of finding it, save the girl in the local tourist office: she is asked by everyone who has ever booked here. The local bus takes you right into Funchal, for 1.60 Euros, and it is regular and prompt. It is also quite a ride, if you sit on the drivers side. The markets. the marina, the cafes and bars of Funchal are all excellent. The other spots on the island are all easily accessed fron Canico. Do not listen to anyone who says you are too near the airport, as you never hear the planes: they all bank and have short take off and landing. This is an excellent spot on a beautiful island with the world's second most friendly and courteous people.

Estadia que supera as expectativas!
Nossa estadia superou as expectativas, começando pela localização, fácil acesso do aeroporto, quando chegamos fomos muito bem recebidos pela staff, limpeza e organização do alojamento impecáveis, fácil comunicação quando precisamos com o responsável. A vista é maravilhosa, atravessando a rua já há restaurantes, mercado, locadora de carros, se andar 5 minutos há mais um mercado, pastelaria e restaurantes. A praia fica no máximo 10 minutos andando, mas do apartamento já vê ela, o nascer do sol fica com vista para o alojamento, então acordem cedo para apreciar. Há uma área comum muito gostosa de estar, com espreguiçadeiras, piscina e muita flora. Roupas de cama confortáveis, a cozinha bem equipada com tudo o que precisamos para fazer nossas refeições. Foi muito cômodo e satisfatório estar lá, caso voltemos para Madeira, com certeza iremos voltar a nos hospedar no Caniço e indicaremos aos amigos. Compensa muito o custo benefício, a gente se sentiu em casa por tudo. Obrigada pela hospedagem maravilhosa e o tratamento amável.
