The Views Monumental

The Views Monumental is a four-star hotel at Estrada Monumental 284 in the Lido and São Martinho hotel zone of Funchal, on Madeira, Portugal. The Estrada Monumental is the main coastal road of the western hotel zone, and the property is a few kilometres from the old town, with the seafront promenade and lido areas nearby and taxis or buses offering links to the centre. Rooms include double rooms, twin rooms with a mountain view and twin rooms with a sea view. Facilities are broad for the category: indoor and outdoor pools, a children's pool, a spa with sauna and steam room, a fitness centre, a restaurant and a poolside bar. Free wifi and free parking are included. The guest rating of around 4.2 and moderately high prices place it in the upper-mid tier of Funchal hotels. Service is resort-style and family-friendly, with the children's pool and a general atmosphere that suits both couples and families. The restaurant handles breakfast and dinner, and the poolside bar offers light meals and drinks during the day. Guests who want a sea-view room should request it specifically, since the mountain-view twin rooms are priced differently. As in most of the hotel zone, hills make walking to the old town strenuous, and many guests take taxis in the evening. Free parking makes the property convenient for those hiring a car to explore Madeira's levadas, viewpoints and coastal villages.
