Absolutely lovely hotel, the breakfast brunch was fantastic every time. The location is great if you plan to travel around the island as it’s 20 seconds from the highway. The ocean view was great as well. The restaurant and markets that are 30 seconds walk from the hotel were phenomenal as well. Definitely staying here again when I come back!

Great hotel, with lots of restaurants, lounges, loved the beach/pool/cliff area. Breakfast has a lot of variety. Limited parking and no dedicated shampoo or conditioner, only one bottle of soap/gel for both body and hair. Rooms renovated but not completely, the terrace and windows are still dated. Overall, we did enjoy our stay, there were a lot more positives than negatives.

Facilities were nice and room was clean, but staff were unable to place our family travelling with children in adjacent rooms, despite prior request, which impaired our enjoyment of the holiday.

Sentido Galosol is a lovely hotel. Few complaints - no luggage cart to bring luggage (no bellhop service), very limited onsite parking (street parking available at 4. Euro/fay), no lotions in bathroom. Still, I would recommend. Good location, good breakfast, good price

A really nice resort, great breakfast and dinner buffet. Easy to take a bus to Funchal. The rooms were clean, and had a cool layout. My only complaint is that the room as too warm and humid for me to get a good nights sleep which negatively impacted my ability to get over the jetlag and enjoy the start of my vacation. The thermostat is the room does not change the temperature of the room, only displays the current temperature which, with the AC running all night showed the room temperature at 24°C.

I really really enjoyed my stay. Hotel was clean and quiet and served my needs perfectly. Hotel staff was able to arrange for a rental car for me when I arrived to the hotel. Free parking was very limited but, I was always able to find paid street parking not far from the hotel. So not really a big deal. The hotel staff are superb. A special acknowledgement to Barbara Gomez who is so kind, professional, always had a smile on her face and offered great suggestions for things to do in Madeira during my stay. My only “complaint” which is minor is the temperature of the hot water in my room . I like the option of very hot water when it comes to bathing/showering. The water in my room was barely lukewarm. Outside of this minor issue, I would most certainly would stay at this hotel again.

The staff were lovely and super helpful. Me and my partner used the pool, spa and fitness facilities every day and really enjoyed the sunrise yoga classes. The buffet breakfast was decent. Hiring a car is necessary as there is very little within walking distance of the hotel. But the island is only small, so you can reach most places with a short drive from the hotel.

There are several unique points about this hotel. We liked a lot the Spa and the Lido at the ocean. The Spa with view onto the ocean without obstruction is a very special place to calm down. The lido with the ability to go directly into open waters was amazing for snorkeling. The variety of fish in the waters was spectecular and something I will not forget. The breakfast was great as well. We liked a lot the variety and the quality. The freshmade omelettes according to our wishes were my highlight every morning as well as the fresh waffles. The room we got in the end was great as well. Good view and the quality of the room itself was very high. The beds were very comfy and I slept very well. Overall, very clean and the hotel is in good shape. Downside for us was that the first room we got during Check-In. The room 3010 is basically in the cellar, very dark and not very nice. I did not spend 10 minutes in there before I wanted to leave. We asked for another room which the reception luckily found in the first floor and changed without any question. In the new room 4114, we felt very comfortable for our week. Thank you Sentido for a great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay at the Sentido Galosol. We liked the beautiful modern interior design. Parking wasn’t always easy although there are some parking spots for hotel guests (not enough). The rooms were equipped with everything we needed. The breakfast was good and we got a lunchbox for our early departure. The staff was very friendly. The indoor pool was nice and not too crowded. We would have loved more vegan options at the breakfast buffet (like for example some vegan spread for the bread).

Positives: - staff is friendly - location is nice and quiet - activities like yoga, diving, hiking trips - landscaped area around the hotel - it's actually two hotels so more facilities - sommelier is amazing. Great wine tasting. - nice to see solar panels and water saving Improvements: - a proper coffee at breakfast - breakfast smoothies always run out - a sewage smell in all the lifts and toilets - no free water offered in the room - beach towels refreshed only for a fee - blue bar only has basic snack food - masseuse at spa doesn't seem to know what they're doing. Also, a 60min massage lasted for 40min. - asked to pay upfront upon check-in - check-in staff should make it clear whether your room is ready for early check in or not. We were led to believe we can check-in 2 hours early but our room wasn't actually ready which we only found out after 20min of paperwork. Not upset about the wait, only about the bad communication and expectation management - last thing you need when you haven't slept all night.

Everything about our stay was perfect. The location is absolutely stunning. We were within walking distance to local restaurant and supermarket, and only a 20 minute drive from Funchal and Sao Laurenco, and 30 minutes to Pico do Ariero. The staff were friendly and inviting. They explained everything well. Answered all of our questions. The breakfast buffet was great. Property was clean at all times. We would definitely return for another stay. Only negative was parking, but it wasn't terrible.

It is a good hotel in a nice location with above-average room sizes. The views of the coast are good, but do not fool yourself that there is a beach—there is not. The best pools (those with views) were closed the entire time we were there. Breakfast is passable and the service is good but unremarkable. There are several restaurants around that provide good variety, and hikes to the Cristo Rei statue are possible from the hotel.

Beautiful quiet location. I enjoyed using the fitness studio and free classes. Nice swimming pools but jets in the jacuzzi were not working / non-existant. Breakfast was good and rooms were nice but the room service never washed/replaced glasses or re-stocked the tea supply and there was no shampoo or hand cream, which I usually expect from a 4* hotel (only liquid soap). The free parking was also non-existant some days as the underground carpark was not available (don't know why it couldn't be used) and we sometimes had to drive around the block a few times to look for parking spots in front of or behind the hotel, or on the street. But overall we really enjoyed the stay.

Enjoyed the option to use the ocean level pool at the sister hotel. Our room with ocean view was not straight on but a side view. Still beautiful to hear the ocean. Breakfast was very good with many options! Parking is a nightmare! Insufficient space available to hotel guest.
