We liked the room on the level 3. It was lovely. We booked second time and then we got the room on level 2 and it was very big, two sleeping rooms and had the ants in the room as the this room was kinda on ground level- strange.

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.Andrea GuidiSwitzerland - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.Knapp_NikaHungary - 4.0Scored 4.0

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· 803 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· 76 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 - 9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 43 reviewsAna 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!!!MichelleIreland
- 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 67 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 - 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,520 reviewsBoth receptionists were lovely. Inside interior of the hotel is nice. We stayed with a 4 year old and 9 months baby. Our room was on the 2nd floor which was easy to access with a pushchair as there is a lift. The room was decent, the location was perfect with 5 mins walk to the town center and the beach. The swimming pool on the 3rd floor was great with some sunbeds and beautiful view to the mountain. There is also a tiny gym.GabrielėUnited Kingdom

The family who own the apartment live upstairs in a separate property and couldn't do enough for us! They drove us back up the hill one evening after dinner and to the airport on our last day.
