The property was nice and there is a free bus to Funchal. Handy for a day out. What I didn't like was being lied to. When I booked this trip we were flying with SATA, there was an issue with the plane and we ended up losing a day. from out holiday. So I called directly to the hotel to cancel the one night x 2 so I wouldn't be charged. The employee cancelled the day, or so I thought. When we arrived at RUI Mederia the head lady told us that there was a mistake made and the whole stay at the hotel was cancelled. Before we could check in we had to agree to pay for the rooms that were not used even though I had followed the process. Very disappointed in RUI's handling of the situation. We never asked for the stay to be extended and understood that we were not entitled to an extra day. But, I wanted to be refunded for what was not used.
