Ancuta
United Kingdom
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.Knapp_NikaHungary - 4.0Scored 4.0

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.MigleLithuania

- 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 810 reviewsThe 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 !
HafsaBelgium - 9.9Scored 9.9ExceptionalRated exceptional· 40 reviewsBeautiful 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.
GillianUnited Kingdom - 9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 76 reviewsI 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.
EllenUnited Kingdom - From BGN 412.43 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,234 reviewsThe location was excellent considering that it is close to the airport and also in terms of the beach. The hotel is right in front of the ocean. Its location is excellent even though the settlement is very small and there is nothing to do in it at all. However, if you have a car, Funchal (the capital) is also nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the room was well appointed. The bathroom was also good. The breakfast was excellent considering that it was in the form of a buffet and there were delicious dishes for everyone's taste.KirilNorth Macedonia
- From BGN 412.43 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,234 reviewsLocation-its very close to the airport (5min by Taxi). However it is a bit further away from Funchal where its more active as there are the most restaurants/Bars and shops but if you like it quiet then it's a good area. The Hotel offers a shuttle to get to Funchal and also public transportation is close. The breakfast had a good variety- especially the egg station was great. The Bar provides different entertainment/shows for the hotel guests in the evenings. The room is big enough and the bed is large and very comfortable.JenniferFrance
- From BGN 107.51 per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,046 reviewsThe location is excellent - right in the middle of a charming square. There are lots of nice restaurants and cafe's within walking distance as well as a nice boardwalk. The hotel itself was older, but very quaint and a great bargain. The room even had a small balcony with a nice view of the square. There is no hotel parking, so look for a spot wherever you can find one. If not, there is a pay lot very nearby. I was warned that it was expensive, but I parked there overnight and it was only around 11 euros.KienowUnited States
- 7.3Scored 7.3GoodRated good· 845 reviewsEnrique was a super nice host who gave us lots of helpful tips on public transportation, showed us the way to the airport (20 minute walk), and let us check in early. The Pallet is a small and quiet place with only three rooms, so shared bathrooms are not an issue at all. The location is very central in Santa Cruz and just a few steps away from several good restaurants. This was the only reasonably priced room that we could find for New Year's Eve, so thank you Enrique!DEJAN RUSJANSlovenia
- 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 68 reviewsLocation 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.
irasmasterPoland - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 3,093 reviewsSanta Cruz is a really cute town with great restaurants and more of a local vibe. The main square is cute and there are lots of great restaurants. We stayed here our last night before flying out and was way better than Funchal. You can technically walk to the airport but we took a 5-minute cab with our bags. Also, breakfast was really good :)ElizabethGermany
