8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (5 reviews)
"The house itself was beautiful and the host along with the housekeeper were very responsive. The pool was not heated as indicated in description. We enjoyed freshly baked bread the host provided during our stay. The bathroom sometimes had a sewer smell and required us to open and air the house out. They will be correcting the plumbing issue that resulted in fresh water flow from the toilet during our stay. They were very responsive in the clean up. "

Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel

Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"This is a lovely hotel in a cute town. The pool areas are nice (though I’d have to call the hot tub a “tepid tub”) and the grounds are lovely. There’s a nice promenade outside. The room was nice enough but the lighting was so low you couldn’t see. And no tissues are supplied. In my book, tissues are non-negotiable for a hotel that claims to be 4-stars. The front desk was understaffed at all times. It took 20 minutes to check in (why I don’t know) and far too long to check out. The breakfast was amazing. All in all, if you don’t mind a few inconveniences, this is a nice place to stay."
