Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Really good hotel, food was delicious, great meal choice. Beds at the pool could become a premium some days when people come back off the day tours., perfectly located in the middle of the town"
"We wanted to make our anniversary special, so we chose this hotel for its location, pools and mention of a restaurant. Everything was prepared beautifully. I truly wish I remembered the names of the staff or had written them down. There was an older gentleman and a woman with braces in the restaurant that were so incredibly attentive and kind. There was a woman with glasses and a gentleman with facial hair at the front desk that were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They made this location an 11/10. We could not be happier with the level of service provided. I could not imagine a better stay in Madeira."
"Room was dated but clean. Indoor pool was useful. Can't swim at the beach because there no beach, very rocky and waves were pretty rough, but nice to have waterfront view. Very accessible to funchal by bus. Bus stop was just a block away. Font desk were not too helpful interms of going out of their way looking for excursions outside of their tour partners. Beach towels were controlled, first sets are free, if need clean ones there are extra fees and must return the towels to front desk to avoid fees. Cannot leave it in the room. Breakfast was good. All in all, we enjoyed our stay."
"Great value for money. Good location, friendly helpful staff, good breakfast, great facilities. Rooms are a little dated but shower was hot, nice toiletries, fresh towels every day. Have stayed here before and will do again."
"Very unfriendly staff. I have not felt being welcomed there. There was not a single smile during my stay. The restaurant host was the worst. Even if it is not in European culture to smile, they must learn it in this business. "
