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.Andrea GuidiSwitzerland - 8.0Scored 8.0
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.MigleLithuania

- 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 781 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· 35 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· 69 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 - 8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,214 reviewsVery 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.
danlurCanada - From £355.96 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 624 reviewsI 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!
Hugo Gil EstevesPortugal - 8.7Scored 8.7FabulousRated fabulous· 47 reviewsEverything at the highest level. Equipment in the house is new - from the kettle to the washing machine, iron, large fridge to pots. Purely. Fast wi-fi. Close to shops, restaurants, beach and bus stop. Because all of Santa Cruz is located near the airport, you can hear planes landing, but it's not the fault of the house owner. Contact with the owner sensational, if I needed something, it was enough to write / call. A week spent in great conditions. I recommend.MonikaPoland
- 6.9Scored 6.9PleasantRated pleasant· 67 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 - 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,003 reviewsStayed 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.HankaCzech Republic

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!DavidGarwoodUnited Kingdom
