Sentido Galosol

“I liked the possibility to have breakfast on the terrace. The view from my window was excellent. The choice at the breakfast buffet was very good. I really loved the manager's little speech and the way they had oranized New Year's eve.”

“Nice hotel by the sea. A private lido allows to sunbath and swin directly in the ocean. The gym is just huge, with three squash courts free for guests (you can rent the material on site at a very moderate price). The rooms are of standard quality for an hotel of this category. Staff was very friendly. If you do not wish to be in downtown Funchal, the local is really good with nice views on the cliffs and a 10 minute car ride to the center of town. A few good restaurants are at walking distance from the hotel.”

“The staff were outstanding. They were always helpful, friendly, professional and efficient. Any issues we had (such as the TV remote not working) were fixed promptly. They are taking every precaution to keep guests safe from covid. The room was large and clean and had nice views over the ocean. The addition of a small fridge was great and on days with bad weather it was nice to have a TV with plenty of options in various languages. Our stand-out was the champagne they served at breakfast on Christmas day - it made our stay feel very special. We also enjoyed watching the sunrise from the outdoor breakfast dining area. We were here over Christmas and we booked the 6 course gala dinner they had arranged - if you happen to visit at Christmas time you should definitely do this. The food was sensational and they had decorated the dining room beautifully, there was a choir and a band. It was one of the most special Christmases we've ever had because of this dinner.”

“My stay at Sentido Galosol turned out to exceed my expectations. Although the photos of the hotel and its facilities show off how good the place is, they certainly don’t do it justice because it is even better being there. For me, the staff made my stay that much more special. From those working at reception, the lounge bar, the pizzeria and housekeeping, everyone was so friendly and went the extra mile with anything I asked for or needed help with. What impressed me the most is how prepared and organized they were in handling the pandemic. This ranged from all the staff wearing masks to having sanitizer dispensers strategically placed at points where multiple people interact with the same surfaces (e.g. doors & lift buttons). The hotel went as far as supplying you with a welcome pack that included a mask, a pocket-sized sanitizer and important information on what systems they have in place to protect their guests during this time. The trip to Madeira was a last-minute break to go rest and recharge without indulging in all the tourist activities. Sentido Galosol turned out to be the perfect place because everything I needed was in one place without the need to venture elsewhere.”

“Perfect place! We had a realy nice, spacy and quite room, with a side entrance and view at the ocean. Room had everything you need, including small fridge and tv connected to wifi. Hotel beach is amazing, pool was nice with sweet water, and generally everything was really great. Good value for money as well. You can't go wrong with this one!”
