    Pleasant hotel in Lower Canico.

    rating25 Mar 2026

    This is a nice hotel built on the side of the cliff, so if you are in a lower room there are lots of lifts involved in getting to your room.Our room was enormous with a bathroom and sitting room. It was on the cold side, but staff provided a heater and blankets which was a great improvement.The restaurant was good and the buffet evening meal very good value.The hotel is attached to the Atlantis restaurant across the road. You access this via a lift down the cliff. It was rather formal and we thought poor value.The pools looked good, but we didn’t try them.Staff were very pleasant and helpful.Lower Canico is a bit out of the way and if staying there you really do need a car.

    An extremely well run hotel in a great location with wonderful staff

    rating05 Mar 2026

    What a lovely hotel this is in so many ways.The staff are an absolute credit to what is clearly a very well run hotel. Everyone was so friendly and helpful throughout our nine day stay.The location is beautiful overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, close to Funchal (5 Euro return bus journey), several local restaurants and a small supermarket.Rooms are clean and well equipped, not luxurious or indulgent, but with good modern walk in showers, comfortable beds, English TV channels, tea and coffee making and pool towels.We stayed B&B as we are no fans of buffet restaurant food. Breakfast is superb with plenty of fresh and healthy choices to choose from in a lovely restaurant area with both indoor and outdoor seating by the pool. The onsite a la carte restaurants are excellent, the Ribeye steak in the Atlantis is superb and the cost with dessert is around 30 Euro (strangely the same price as the evening buffet). Food in the pizza restaurant is equally as good and lunchtime snacks in the Blue Bar are excellent. We dined once in the evening buffet restaurant and found the main course options quite lacking and rather disappointing.We primarily chose the Sentido Galasol for its health and fitness facilities and Spa - we were delighted to find that these were excellent. Not your average excuse for a hotel gym but a fully equipped health club with a well equipped gym, several studios, a full schedule of classes, saunas, steam, plunge pool, jacuzzi and indoor pool. We used the club twice daily during our stay and received first class service from the staff, complimentary towels for gym, pool and sauna. Special mention must go to the team at the club who were so welcoming and friendly to us.Thank you to all the team at the Sentido Galasol

    Excellent hotel complex, easy to get to other areas of the island.

    rating29 Jan 2026

    A wonderful hotel complex on the seafront with good transport links and surrounding area. The staff are lovely and always willing to help and advise customers. The breakfast buffet service was excellent, very varied, and on at a reasonable time. The access to the sea was very convenient and there are several pools to use alongside this. The room was clean and spacious and the bathroom was very modern. We liked that they are an 'eco' hotel and therefore have water bottle filling stations around the hotel. We also enjoyed the gym classes. Overall very pleasant stay and would definitely return! Sentido Ambassador, Other at Sentido Galosol, responded to this review Dear guest,Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated our location, facilities, and eco-friendly initiatives. It’s great to know that our team made a positive impression and that you enjoyed the breakfast buffet, pools, sea access, and gym classes.Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we would be thrilled to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay!Warm regards,Nicole FettelSentido Ambassador

    Not very good

    rating22 Jan 2026

    The Senttido Galosol is located on a headland about a 15 minute bus journey from Canico, the surrounding area is mainly residential with few amenities for tourists.The hotel has a pleasant sunbathing area with an adjoining snack bar, there are plenty of sunbeds but the pool is small. Guest rooms are basic with a capital B - open wardrobe area, no drawer space and minute bedside tables. Bathroom is small as is the balcony.Breakfast and Dinner are buffet style - there is a variety of choice but most hot food is overcooked or of the fast food variety.Surprisingly this hotel does not have a bar for after dinner socialising (the one at the pool closes early) or to retreat to during inclement weather. During our stay there were 3 days of storms when venturing out was impossible leaving you with a choice of sitting in a small not very comfortable recessed area off a busy corridor or retiring to your room. Sentido Ambassador, Other at Sentido Galosol, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We greatly appreciate your openness, as it helps us continuously improve our guests’ experience.We are glad you enjoyed the sunbathing area and the snack bar. Regarding the rooms, we understand your perception of limited storage. Our open wardrobes and compact bedside tables are part of the chosen design, which may not suit everyone’s taste; nevertheless, we take your feedback seriously and continually look for ways to enhance comfort and practicality.We also appreciate your comments regarding the buffet, which we will share with our team as we strive to further improve our dining offerings.For stays during inclement weather, the Capoeira Lounge Bar, located in the Lido area of the resort, is available to guests and open daily until 11:00 PM. We understand that this area may not always be easily accessible during storms, and we are exploring ways to provide more convenient alternatives in the future.Thank you again for your honest feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back and providing an even more enjoyable stay.Kind regards,Sentido Ambassador
