NO PARKING NO PARKING NO PARKING The hotel overall is beautiful, relaxing and if you are looking to spend days inside the hotel maybe it is worth it. To be honest, I regret staying here because of the parking and food. If you go to madeira you are on adventure mode, like hiking, walking, and driving a lot. You just want to arrive relax and rest, not having to stress about finding parking knowing what you paid for the stay. I was lucky enough to find almost every day (keep in mind it was low season), but I parked in a random spot twice and hoped the car wouldn't get towed. The food is not the best, it is better to go to a local restaurant to eat. Breakfast looks like they used some of the food from last night. The omelette station was worth it. Coffee is an absolute no (if you’re a serious coffee lover.)

The Spa was incredible. We used the ocean view sauna every day and loved it! Room was clean and tidy, we had a nice view from our balcony. Walkable to many restaurants in the area. It was a relaxing and quiet location compared to the more lively Funchal.

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.

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

Almost perfect
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.
