Nice hotel, lovely views

The hotel has everything that you need and is within walking distance of local restaurants as well as Canico city centre. Staff at the hotel were friendly and welcoming, especially the staff at the morning breakfast buffet who made every effort to try and accommodate our dietary needs. Madeira is a beautiful island with beautiful people, we would love to return again and stay at the Galo Resort.

Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich! Das Zimmer veraltet aber die Aussicht war spektakulär. Hotel war gerade im Umbau und das wurde uns vorher nicht mitgeteilt. Daher kam es zu Unannehmlichkeiten.

Sehr sauberes Hotel, nicht nur im Zimmer sondern allgemein. Sehr ökologisch und grün, sogaer der Mülleimer im Zimmer bot Recyclingmöglichkeiten. Die zugehörigen Restaurants sind super, das Frühstücksbuffet gut (nicht wirklich abwechslungsreich aber sehr fein) und das Personal im Hotel und den Restaurants sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend
