Very sweet, clean village with friendly people (but not in-your-face). Lots of bars and restaurants, reasonably priced. Lovely wine, good food and some nice boutiques too. Easy to get to Funchal on buses and there are also plenty of taxis. Its minutes from the airport and planes fly very low overhead but it is spectacular to see without being too noisy. Loved it.

Santa Cruz is a small seaside village at the end of the runway. There are enough cafes and restaurants to keep you occupied along with some nice little parks and a good play ground if you have kids. The weather is just perfect.

The location was excellent considering that it is close to the airport and also in terms of the beach. The hotel is right in front of the ocean. Its location is excellent even though the settlement is very small and there is nothing to do in it at all. However, if you have a car, Funchal (the capital) is also nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the room was well appointed. The bathroom was also good. The breakfast was excellent considering that it was in the form of a buffet and there were delicious dishes for everyone's taste.

The apartment is close to the airport, even within a 45-minute walk, and very convenient. The sound from the planes was low, it didn't bother us. Good access to the whole island both by car and by bus. Clean and very friendly owner. You can walk to the Santa Cruz centre, restaurants or the beach in a 7-10 minutes. Everything was nice - comfortable, cosy and good price 😊 The internet connection was very good! We will definitely be back!
