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 !
Beautiful apartment, spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed and lots of fluffy white towels. Everything you could possibly need for a two week stay. A short walk to all the bars and restaurants in the little town of Santa Cruz. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and the apartment was cleaned , beds and towels changed, mid stay.
You can get to Funchal on the local bus, but Santa Cruz is a good place to stay if you have a car, easy access to the main road s around the island.
Highly recommend this apartment, quiet, clean and comfortable.
Very good hotel, one of the best we ever stayed, Clean and comfortable. Amazing ocean view. Excellent amenities - pools and sauna, Great restaurant offering buffet breakfast and extraordinary dinners we had.
Staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. Special thanks to hotel's Manager - Luis Caldeira who was always available to the guests helping to make our stay even more memorable.
Will definitely recommend that Hotel to our friends and stay here again should we come to Madeira in the future.
+ Surprisingly charming local town where we found some sweet little restaurants serving good local food ( in the square ).
+ Room was nicely lit and had everything we needed really
+ V close to airport ( 5 mins taxi. )
+ Hotel helped us get the taxi v early in the morning and provided a breakfast box
+ Spa was quality, proper steam and sauna with a view!
+ Pool looked nice outside but too cold
+ Good large breakfast featuring everything you could imagine but not all great quality but overall fine
The hotel is nice. It's very clean and the staff is kind and helpful. They make an effort to provide a good service.
I had breakfast included and it was delicious. You can ask the cook to make something for you on the spot or you can eat the cold meats, bread, fresh fruit, etc. There is quite a nice selection.
I also ate dinner at their restaurant and it was very good and affordable. I really recommend it. Not to mention the people that served me treated me so nice! I really appreciated that!
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.
I really enjoyed staying at Santa Cruz Village Hotel. The location is perfect - not far from the ocean, very close to the airport and if anyone fancies a little trip to Funchal, there is a bus stop just in front of the hotel. My room was always very clean and I really liked the view from my balcony. And the breakfast...GREAT! Plus, the staff...so nice and helpful. When in Madiera, I would definitely stay at the hotel again. Keep it up!
This hotel is very close to the sea-front (10 minutes) and even closer to the centre. Santa Cruz is a delightful village with everything one needs to have a lovely time, excellent restaurants, a beautiful promenade and good bus-service to Funchal. The hotel was very comfortable, clean and offered a good variety of food at breakfast. Rooms were very spacious and spotless. We were very pleased with our choice.
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.
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 location is perfect for the last night before you go to the airport. The airport is within walking distance (20-25 minutes) from the hotel.
In the center of Santa Cruz, so near the beach and near lots of restaurants.
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.
