The apartment was super cosy just like in the pictures, excellent for two people, but I suppose it could accommodate three people. Even tho the apartment is just half a mile from the airport it was really quiet and you could watch the planes landing literally from the sofa. You have local shops nearby and plenty of restaurants and cafes within walking distance. The nearest bus stop is a 3-minute walk from where you can get the bus to Funchal (1 hour away).
Last but not least the owner was super super friendly. She would reply to any questions within minutes and was always willing to help. Thank you, Viktoria!

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.
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!
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!!!
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
Perfect location, in the center of Santa Cruz, close to restaurants and the sea, and very close to the airport as well. Kind staff, I liked that the check out is at 12:00.
