Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved this hotel. The staff were exceptional. They were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond. The amenities were amazing. The location is great for airport. It is showing some age, as our room definitely needed some TLC, but it was clean."

Villas Madalena

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good — clean and well equipped. Bed linen, towels, kitchenware and appliances were all provided, and the parking was great too. The view was amazing, and of course the special Madeira touch — watching the planes take off and land, visible even from the room. Overall, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!"
