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 .-)

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 !
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!!!
The great location, you can just walk from airport to here, and in the same time there is no noise from planes. Great views and also you are 10 minutes ride from sand beach. Also the hotel propose a great tour which shows you almost the whole island and it is pretty cheap. The food in the hotel is super tasty and each evening you have different dishes, including traditional Madeira food. The personal of the hotel is really nice and ready to help.
Location 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.
This 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.
Gorgeous apartment in a great location just a short walk from Santa Cruz town. 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. We would totally recommend staying here and the restaurants in Santa Cruz are fantastic!
The staff was very friendly and helped as very much. I got injured the first night and they were really kind and helped us out. They always gave us the information to our destinations we asked for. The Hotel was located at the beach which was beautiful. The hotel itself had an restaurant which was very good.Funchal is only a 30 min bus ride away.
I feel like this is a great budget hotel 6 min drive from the airport. My room was very clean, big and had a nice balcony. I also arrived at 00:30 in the morning with no issues and the kind men drove me up to the room and showed me where the market, bus stop, and beach was.
The lobby was nice and the staff welcoming. I liked the pool, sauna, and gym. I liked the ping pong table, chess board, and trampoline. I like how close the ocean is to the hotel. It's nice to have hotel shuttle service to downtown Funchal. Lots of fruits at breakfast.
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💖
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.
Booked for a one-night stay near the airport - lovely clean and comfy hotel/room with simple but sufficient breakfast, helpful personnel, 5 mins walk to the waterfront and various cafes and restaurants
Everything. It was one of the best hotels I've ever stayed.
Amazing staff, breathtaking views and well decorated rooms.
I cannot express how much I loved my stay at the Albatroz Beach & Yatch Club.
The swimming facilities,the garden and the seaview were perfect.
Breakfast and dinner were excellent and the staff exemplary.
Highly recommended for discerning guests who enjoy small hotels.
The room was spatious, comfortable, clean and quiet. The hotel is located not far from the centre of Santa Cruz town, so everything is at hand. Good connections with the airport and Funchal.
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.
very clean, good breakfast. very nice location in small town Santa Cruz. very close to many restaurants, beach, church 20 minute bus ride or taxi to Funchal
