The Quinta was very nice. Bed was extremely comfortable. There was a fireplace but we didn't use. Beautiful flowers around the grounds. The location is up in the mountains about 1/2 hour from Funchal. There was a Sunday market in town as well as some small markets and places to eat. A storm Monday night took out the electricity when we awoke in the morning. Very clean place and lots of room. We had a 1 bedroom unit. Was great to have a kitchen and fridge to make coffee in the morning.

The chalet was spacious, clean and comfortable and even with the windows open at night the aircraft noise did not disrupt my sleep though I was bothered by mosquitoes on my last night.
Lovely to have use of a washing machine and detergent and to have a drying rack available in the chalet.

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 .-)

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.
The 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 !
I 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.
I 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!
Enrique 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!
Ana and Joao, our hosts, were superb! Beautiful island, stunning scenery, wonderful hosts (worth repeating!!!) and accommodation, and the warm, welcoming, kind Madeiran people. Had a magnificent time! Oh, and the food and restaurants are top class, most especially in Santa Cruz! We were also able to do some 'planespotting' due to the residences' proximity to the airport, but there was no issue whatsoever with noise. I was very, very sad to leave!!!
Location in proximity to the airport for us was very convenient as a transfer hotel, with an added bonus of great facilities (i.e. pool, exercise room). Staff were very helpful, breakfast buffet was really good. A small town of Santa Cruz around the hotel is quaint to visit. Liked the hotel's animation: enthusiastic trainer invited us to water aerobics in the pool, and that's just what we needed.
we only stayed one night. the hotel is clean and remodeled. The location to airport is less than 10 minutes drive. we had a rental car and they had free parking at hotel. our flight was at 4:20am and they gave us a to-go breakfast of drink box, cheese sandwich, & orange. the hotel is quiet. our room was on floor 2 and had a door leading to a large veranda shared by other rooms. highly recommend!
The hotel stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The daily shuttle into Funchal and back to the hotel was well organised and convenient as it is a 30 mins drive and would otherwise be an expensive taxi! Hotel is less than 5 mins drive from the airport (with a taxi via Bolt only costing €4).
Good location, nice local town with restaurants and felt safe to walk about in the evening.
This is simple and nice hotel in Santa Cruz. It has great,kind and helpful staff at reception which works 0-24 ( they gave us some advices,ordered taxi to airport and provide us really early breakfast). Location is really nice close to center,only 2 minutes walk from beach,parking garage.. only rooms should be little renovated.
Very good short stay for me at this small hotel in Santa Cruz. Nice small swimming pool on rooftop. Excellent buffet breakfast. Reception staff were excellent and could not have been more helpful and welcoming. Household & catering staff were also friendly & efficient. Recommend.
The beautiful room with a wonderful sea view. The pool at sea level is a dream and the heated pool next to the hotel very good too. We enjoyed our breakfast with a large choice of dishes and helpful staff. There is a chef cooking anything you can wish for.
We are big travelers and travel on a medium budget. Portugal always impresses but this little guest house IMPRESSES more as Leonor and her husband take better care of their guests than any five star hotel. Kindness and care always win. Thanks Leonor💖
The location is perfect, 2 minutes from the sea, many restaurants nearby, good breakfast in the SuperMeu shop. Santa Cruz is a nice little village, 15 minutes from the airport by foot. Friendly staff, you can leave your luggage after checkout.
This little hotel is all you need! amazing location right in the heart of Santa Cruz village. The room had a balcony which was great, all amenities were clean and the price was a bonus. 2 minute walk to the beach as well!
Close to Santa Cruz (20 min walk) and the beaches, clean. Very responsive and nice host who spoke Portuguese, English, and Spanish. Gated parking lot and 1 spot included. Secure entry and exit into the building.
Spacious, modern apartment on the top floor. Comfy couch, small tv.
Great outside balcony with seating.
Beautiful view of the sea, village and airport runway.
Not much noise.
Very spacious and clean with a great view. Modern and comfortable. Centrally located in Santa Cruz but since it’s close to the main highway, it’s easy to go anywhere else.
