Hotel Amparo

Convenient for airport, small town a change from Funchal, economic rate, pleasant restaurant with local food.

The staff was very friendly, although it was sometimes difficult to communicate in English. The location is right next to the ocean, overlooking the bay of Machico. A lot of restaurants and shops around.

Because of the restaurants, there was a smell of food most of the time. Noisy airco outlets around, making an annoying sound.

Location in the very center of Machico, very close to the beach

There are lots of restaurants right below the hotel, hence always the smell of burnt fish, meat, grease, etc. At the time of our stay there was a food festival week with music half of the night, because stage was right across the street of our room. Even with all the windows shut it was impossible to sleep. No A/C. Pre-payment required upon check-in.
