This is a review of the VilaGaleHotel at Santa Cruz on the Island of Madeira.
We have just returned from a three day break.
We booked the Vial Gale as we have used their Hotel in Tavira for a few years and find them very good.
Hotel Location, is best described as if the Plane Toppled off the end of the Short Runway at Funchal Airport then it could land in the Hotel Swimming Pool.
Having said that do not let it put you off, it does not intrude and the closeness is slightly less than that, and it is quite exciting to watch the landings and takeoffs.
The Hotel is in the small village of Santa Cruz a mere 6 Euro Taxi ride from the airport gets you there.
Checkin was very efficient in a very large modern Reception Area.
Cost for the Three Nights for Double room with Breakfast was £111. This was for a Sea View Room ...

Advantages: Just excellent Disadvantages: A little plane spotting
We are now VilaGale loyal customers.
Personally we have stayed in their hotels as follows, VilaGale Marina, VilaGale Ampalius, both in Villamoura, on the Algarve. VilaGale Tavira also on the Algarve and then last week VilaGale Santa Cruz, Madeira.
I can recommend all of the above, but the Santa Cruz is the newest and modernist of all.
The reception is a vast expanse of glass, marble and big soft sofas and a view of the ocean, just for good measure. It somewhat reminds you of the old Art novo cinemas.
Staff on reception where very polite and speak better English then I do Portuguese, excellent.
The main areas of the hotel are all on -1 level, with magnificent views of the sea which is only 150 yards away.
The restaurants have the same view, so does the fitness room, pools and Jacuzzi.
There are two outside ...

Advantages: Everything you want for the after Christmas rush Disadvantages: None
We have also stayed at this hotel, out of season. We were there in Jan 07 just as they were dismantling the Christmas tree in the entrance. We were sat outside at a little bar, talking to other visitors who where staying at the sister hotel to Villa Gale, that use to be a tuna canning factory............................this is on the sand splits, with a connecting shuttle bus between the two hotels.
The tree came out through the main doors in two halves and was carried round the side and into the under ground car park, no doubt we will see it again in Jan 08 splendid with it's decorations. It took six men to carry each half and it was "egg and milk" to watch them.
The hotel is just so friendly, welcoming, light airy, clean, the food is great and breakfast can take as long as you like.
There are a lot of golfers in the hotel but ...
