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.
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 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.
Both 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.
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!
Hotel staff was marvelous in accommodating us, from cleaning the rooms everyday to upgrading our room to even putting a minifridge in the room when we asked about a common fridge. Rooms were basic but comfortable, with plenty of hot water and a bathtub.
Location is superb, walkable from the Rodoeste bus stop and very near the beachfront, restaurants, and supermarkets.
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!
We really enjoy the hotel facilities. Indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Sauna. Very good breakfast with plenty of choices. The village with good restaurants, the cleanliness of the hotel, the sea view and the sound of the waves and of course easy access to the airport.
Very good place to stay in Santa Cruz. In the center, close to any facility you would require (bus stop, bakery for breakfast, restaurant on the shore etc.). Staff were super helpful and nice. Good size rooms, comfy beds, clean bathroom. Overall great experience!
Cleanliness, the restaurant downstairs serves tasty food at affordable prices, walking distance to the airport, the lovely village of Santa Cruz with a historical atmosphere, with many restaurants, nice beaches, and swimming pools, near to aquapark and bay walk.
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 loved our stay at Santa Cruz Village- great location and amazing staff . Special thanks for the extra bed/sofa. Great breakfast and overall we were impressed by the hotel(great value for money) and Santa Cruz. We will come back.
Location close to airport,Breakfast was great
Great staff, check in was great with mila smily kind and helpful. We also rented the car from the hotel and was a good experience. We were upgraded freely which was so nice.
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.
The hotel is simply excellent. The stuff is so kind and we loved the salt water pool next to the ocean. It is also only 10 min away by foot to the town which has most amazing local restaurants.
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.
