The small island of Madeira lies 320 miles west of the Moroccan coastline in northern Africa; control of the island by the Portuguese dates back to the early 15th century. Tourism thrives on this island, with its picturesque coastline and landscapes, subtropical climate and bountiful sun. The city of Canico makes for an ideal vacation spot as sits sandwiched between the mountains and the ocean and offers a quiet retreat from the nearby capital of Funchal.
The Hotel Riu Palace Madeira sits directly along the shore overlooking the ocean. Most rooms and suites at this hotel have at least a partial view of the sea if not a full view and come with a private balcony, satellite television and central air-conditioning; suites feature a separate living room and bathrobes. Guests can enjoy the hotel's two swimming pools (one indoor, one outdoor), sauna, exercise room, children's playground and sun terrace. The room rate includes breakfast and dinner for the entire length of stay with the restaurant serving special themed buffets twice a week.
