Our flight home was cancelled, so we booked two last minute rooms here. Did not disappoint. Beautiful property, good food, right on ocean with ladders descending into the water (or you can just jump in off the cliffs). A really delightful final night in Madeira! Would gladly stay here again (and for longer).

Es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub im Sentido Galosol. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, die Zimmer komfortabel und sauber, schöner Balkon mit Meerblick, tolle Lage und auch das Frühstück war top. Wir kommen gerne wieder. Manchmal nervig war die Parkplatzsuche, da sehr wenig Parkplätze zur Verfügung stehen, öffentliche Parkplätze gegen geringe Gebühr waren vor allem am Wochenende ebenfalls eher rar. Ansonsten alles top.

Greta stay at Galosol

Great location by the ocean with access to several pools and the sauna and steam rooms with ocean views was amazing. The room was very spacious, bigger than we expected and the breakfast offered a wide selection. The staff were also friendly. There are a few restaurants within walking distance although I would recommend having a car to explore further

Well deserved 4star resort hotel. Our standard room had a balcony facing the ocean. Resort had 2 restaurants, multiple pools, and many other amenities that we didn’t get to enjoy for our one-night stay. Breakfast had lots of variety of food. Room itself was really clean and in perfect condition, good layout, comfortably firm bed and pillows. Parking could be a bit of struggle if checking in late, there’s only a strip of parking spots along the side of the building, approximately 25-30.

The property is simply ok. Not great, not bad. The adult only hotel, Sentido Galomar looked much better and the facilities e.g spa, nicer restaurant, lounge was located in the other hotel meaning you have to walk (very short walk though). Breakfast was very basic, the buffet lunch and dinner were much better.

Can’t wait to go back!

A wonderful end to my time in Madeira. The hotel was stunning and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. My room was one of the best hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed out of all my various trips - extremely clean, well ventilated, warm and cosy and as someone who is passionate about interior styling, I really appreciated the minimalist design. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurant was good and the close proximity to local restaurants and shops was a bonus too. Already dreaming about my next stay here 😍
