"Super close to the airport, beautiful sunrise view before breakfast"

"Our experience at Vila Galé Santa Cruz was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The hotel perfectly combines comfort, elegance, and genuine Portuguese hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome — friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay special. The location couldn’t be better: right on the waterfront with breathtaking ocean views and just a short stroll from the charming town of Santa Cruz. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with lush gardens and a serene atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Our room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, with a balcony overlooking the Atlantic — waking up to the sound of the waves was pure bliss. The facilities are excellent: a fantastic outdoor pool, a relaxing spa, and plenty of space to unwind. The food deserves a special mention. Every meal — from the bountiful breakfast buffet to the evening dinners — was delicious and beautifully presented, with a wonderful selection of local and international dishes. The service team was always professional and genuinely kind. Vila Galé Santa Cruz manages to be both luxurious and laid-back — ideal for families, couples, or anyone looking to truly relax. It’s the kind of place you leave already planning your return. Highly recommended! "

"Great hotel in santa cruz, easy access to beach and pier"

"No way to express how wonderful the pools in the Atlantic are."

"Beautiful house with view of the coast. The house has everything you might need and more. Kind and friendly host that welcomed us and showed us around. Easy access to main road, parking included on premises. This house is best to rent if you plan to rent a car, otherwise it might be cumbersome to get around as busses don’t go too often around that area, otherwise it is great. Highly recommend if you are staying on the east side of Madeira. "

"We stayed one night before our very early flight home to Edinburgh. The hotel was great, the staff lovely and very helpful. Santa Cruz is also a nice village and we wished we’d stayed a little longer. We had the afternoon, walked around the village a bit, chilled in the pool. They booked a taxi for us which was on the meter so not over priced and provided a takeaway breakfast."

"Beautiful traditional villa with outstanding views. Great location with bars, restaurants within walking distance. Excellent, helpful information always available from owner Andres."
