Top Whale Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Solar do Bom Jesus

10/10 Excellent

"Easy late check-in, friendly staff, very good buffet breakfast. The room was clean and the WiFi was solid."

Baía Madeira Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Very impressive with cleanliness."

Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is absolutely wonderful—helpful, polite, and attentive without being overly formal or intrusive. It is rare to find such genuinely high-quality service. The ocean-water swimming pool is simply stunning, probably the most beautiful one I have ever seen. We had a truly lovely stay."

Vila Gale Santa Cruz Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent choice for breakfast. The setting and location is wonderful - sitting round the pool, looking towards the sea. Right next to the cute small town with some lovely restaurants. Hotel of a good standard with equally nice comfy rooms. Would have given a 5 out of 5 apart from on occasion, not enough staff on at the bar pool area in the day sometimes and some of the sunbeds are past their best. Would definitely stay here again."

PortoBay Serra Golf

10/10 Excellent

"The area is very quiet and clean."

Residencial Família

10/10 Excellent

"So good ! Thank you"

Villas Madalena

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very good — clean and well equipped. Bed linen, towels, kitchenware and appliances were all provided, and the parking was great too. The view was amazing, and of course the special Madeira touch — watching the planes take off and land, visible even from the room. Overall, everything was perfect. Highly recommended!"
