Very close to the airport (4 minute cab ride). Very nice buffet breakfast with omelette bar and lots of fresh fruit and a variety of other breakfast items. Nice pool. Right off the ocean. We walked to a nice restaurant for dinner. We got lucky because our flight was cancelled and we needed a place to stay and they were great.

One of the best cabin homes I have ever stayed in! There is everything! Quiet neighborhood, amazing and helpful host, absolutely loved it! Although the location is more convenient if you have a car, but you can take a taxi from the airport as well as there's no direct bus connection.

Beautiful island
If you are driving in Funchal please make sure you have good directions. Google maps do not work right up in the neighborhoods in the hills. Rent mall car as roads are very narrow and winding

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.

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.
Stayed just for one night before my flight in the morning. The hotel is directly in the center of Santa Cruz, it is quite hard to find parking there. Half an hour walking distance to the airport but it is possible to catch Bolt for cca 4 euros to the airport even at 4am. The hotel seemed to accommodate mostly senior people so it was quite quiet. Good deal for your money if you need to stay somewhere close to the airport before your flight.
The apartment is close to the airport, even within a 45-minute walk, and very convenient. The sound from the planes was low, it didn't bother us. Good access to the whole island both by car and by bus. Clean and very friendly owner. You can walk to the Santa Cruz centre, restaurants or the beach in a 7-10 minutes. Everything was nice - comfortable, cosy and good price 😊
The internet connection was very good! We will definitely be back!
The location is perfect, 2 minutes from the sea, many restaurants nearby, good breakfast in the SuperMeu shop. Santa Cruz is a nice little village, 15 minutes from the airport by foot. Friendly staff, you can leave your luggage after checkout.
Close to center and restaurants of Santa Cruz, modern hotel, good price for the quality, good breakfast and free private parking. Good way to explore the eastern side of the island!
