Garajau Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Garajau, Santa Cruz

"Unfortunately, the indoor pools which was supposed to be heated, were barely heated. Since we were there in December, we were hoping to use the indoor pools for swimming, but the water was too cold"

"The room was very clean and comfortable and the staff were great. The only things missing were a kettle and an iron. We requested a kettle which you can do and were provided with a coffee maker which was ok but a kettle would have been better."

"Booked last minute as flight cancelled so needed overnight accommodation. Staff were wonderful. Room was ideal for our needs with free water & soft drinks in mini bar. Breakfast was included which is one of the best I’ve ever had in a spectacular setting, will return."

"All meals were very good, food was replenished before it was needed so it was always fresh. There was always a good variety, and it seemed to have a good variety of vegan options (I am not vegan). Drinks were served in smallish glasses but they use quality alcohol. No waitstaff in at the pool or in the bar, but that may have been because of the time of year. Our room was clean and spacious with a very large balcony and a great shower and very comfortable beds. Rooms were cleaned early in the day. A couple days before arrival I received an email th check in. During the process you are asked the time of arrival. We were arriving at 8:30 am we got to the resort and our rooms were ready and waiting for us! They have a free shuttle to take you to Funchal 3 times a day. The hotel is beautiful, the pool area is huge and well maintained. Highly recommend anyone to stay here."

"Beautiful hotel, food wonderful, spa was fantastic with great views "

"We were welcomed and given a tour of the historic hotel by the front desk upon arrival. The room upgrade was to a suite overlooking the bay. The room, bed, and bath were clean and comfortable. A small gift arrived each day of our stay. The 1891 Bar proved to be an excellent alternative as we preferred early and smaller dinners. The Christmas brunch had excellent food options; it was a buffet next to the pools. The staff were most helpful on check out, holding our luggage until our rental car had been secured and we were ready for the next leg of our journey."

"Great views from the rooms. Great amenities (gym, pools, etc.). I already told local friends this should be the place they recommend to others who come to visit. Easy parking in the area (compared to other places) and easy to get around. Staff was also excellent - friendly and responsive. "

"Excellent hotel stay I had in recent Years. Best location. Lovely sea view Rooms. Superb swimming pool spa facilities. Lovely staff at every point of your stay. Excellent Breakfast varieties, good affordable restaurant for lunch time. Great dinner buffet options. Great location and lot to explore by walking around the Hotel, if you are looking to stay away from Funchal main city centre this is the one. Hardly 10 min drive or €13 euro Bolt Taxi to the Funchal city, € 9 Bolt taxi to the airport. Lot of Madiera experience tour pick up options from the Hotel. Definitely I would recommend this for any family. Loads of Kids playing options. Who ever opts in this Hotel would not regret it. Thank you again The View Oasis Hotel staff for making our stay lovely memorable one. We would definitely would come back again…"

"The room is modern and very spacious with a kitchenette. The bed is comfortable. The balcony is a big plus. Staff packed us a to go breakfast since our flight leaves early in the morning. I would come back again. "
