The breakfast was excellent and with a chef preparing your eggs to your order. The room was very large and very comfy with a beautiful view over the ocean. The bathroom very nice as well with top quality amenities. We loved the sea pool down at sea level - with easy access to the sea. The heated pool at hotel level was also great. We did also enjoy dinner with delicious food and high quality service.

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.

Very good service by everybody, even the manager helped me get my car out, the breakfast staff did food for my special needs, the reception were very welcoming, it was clean & modern & I liked the mint water & that the hotel has a private garage. Very good standard close to the airport & the small town center. Only minus was that I'd wished for a heated jacuzzi .-)MouschkaDenmark - 10Scored 10

Nice village from were to start exploring the eastern part of Madeira. The airport and the motorway are nearby and you'll be in Funchal in 30min. by car. There isn't much to do in Santa Cruz but there is a few bars and restaurants to enjoy the evening, a public swimming pool, a couple of shops and you can spend some time on the beach.

The house located between Garajau and Canico.
The house located between Garajau and Canico. Cristo Rei in Garajau is a must to visit. Here hop on the cable car and take a look to Garajau beach. The beach is stony, there're much more nicer beaches to visit. Worth to eat at Talho do Canico, a tarditional grill bar in the centre of Canico. Taste tangerine poncha in La Carbonara in Garajau, the closest bar to the house. If you visit Madeira in April don't miss out the flower carneval in Funchal! Visit Sanatana to see the old traditional triangle shaped houses and visit Faial and Porto Moniz for the spectacular beach views.

I would say, Santa Cruz is not worth visiting unless you have an early flight... There is nothing special to see. The Palm beach does not seem very nice and clean (there are big black stones on the beach - they are not comfortable to lay and to go to swim). The marina is quite short and it finishes by the swimming pool and the akvapark, but they were closed in March. I had a dinner at the restaurant Biletheira and the tuna steak was really good (12 Eur)! Santa Cruz is very near Funchal, so you can go to Funchal by bus and you can spend your time in the capital city.MigleLithuania

- 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 799 reviewsThe stay at this hostel exceeded our expectations. We chose it because of its location near the airport. Initially we were afraid of the noise but in our room we did not hear any noise from the airplanes nor the restaurants and the beaches that surround it. Very comfortable beds and a very good location. Best nights slept on the islands were in this hotel. Bus Expresso to Funchal and Machico is only 5min away by foot. Very underrated accomodation where we very much enjoyed our (short) stay. Aircon was a very precious plus, game changing !
HafsaBelgium - 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 74 reviewsI was pleasantly surprised how close the apartment was to the beach area of Santa Cruz. Also very nice fruit/veg shop, pharmacy and bakery/coffeeshop under the apartment block. The public transport is very easy to get to Funchal as well as Machico beach. Some busses will take you the scenic route. At the same time there is plenty of space to park you car in a safe place under the apartment block. The apartment has 2 bathrooms and the kitchen is a decent size. The washing machine does help too and I was amazed by the gigantic balcony.
EllenUnited Kingdom - From US$512.47 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 632 reviewsI had an absolutely amazing stay at Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club! The hotel is located in a stunning area with breathtaking views of the sea. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. The room was spotless and had all the amenities I needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. I especially loved the natural seawater swimming pools which were so refreshing and invigorating. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable stay in Santa Cruz!
Hugo Gil EstevesPortugal - 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 834 reviewsEnrique was a super nice host who gave us lots of helpful tips on public transportation, showed us the way to the airport (20 minute walk), and let us check in early. The Pallet is a small and quiet place with only three rooms, so shared bathrooms are not an issue at all. The location is very central in Santa Cruz and just a few steps away from several good restaurants. This was the only reasonably priced room that we could find for New Year's Eve, so thank you Enrique!DEJAN RUSJANSlovenia
- 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 50 reviewsEverything at the highest level. Equipment in the house is new - from the kettle to the washing machine, iron, large fridge to pots. Purely. Fast wi-fi. Close to shops, restaurants, beach and bus stop. Because all of Santa Cruz is located near the airport, you can hear planes landing, but it's not the fault of the house owner. Contact with the owner sensational, if I needed something, it was enough to write / call. A week spent in great conditions. I recommend.MonikaPoland
- 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 68 reviewsLocation is the best advantage of this apartment. Close to the airport (even on foot), close to the beach (rocky), 20 minutes by car to Funchal. Santa Cruz is a nice and silent city with several good restaurants and rocky beach. Apartment offers good view on planes landing at the airport, and great view on the ocean. There are washing machine and dishwasher, which are useful in case of longer stay. Garage parking lot is also very convenient.
irasmasterPoland - 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 799 reviewsPrices are excellent, I have stayed for 9 nights with a friend and honestly I am so happy we found this place. The room was lovely, super clean with a comfortable bed. The beach si very close, 1 min walking. The hotel has a restaurant on the ground floor where the food is very good and the staff are friendly. So happy with our stay that actually I was sad to leave! And definitely will back there and will recommend this place to others.AAnonymousItaly
- From US$59.65 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,035 reviewsStayed just for one night before my flight in the morning. The hotel is directly in the center of Santa Cruz, it is quite hard to find parking there. Half an hour walking distance to the airport but it is possible to catch Bolt for cca 4 euros to the airport even at 4am. The hotel seemed to accommodate mostly senior people so it was quite quiet. Good deal for your money if you need to stay somewhere close to the airport before your flight.HankaCzech Republic
- 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,516 reviewsThis hotel was a wonderful surprise of my Madeira trip for many reasons: - large and comfortable room with a balcony - the location ,in the city center but also close to the nature with amazing views of the hills I think nearby - at every floor there is a common area (a garden) very nicely decorated where you can just stay and enjoy the sun - breakfast has everything you need to get you going for the day - the staff is very nice.Cristina Alba IuliaRomania
