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 !
I 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.
The 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.
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
Everything 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.
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.
Great central location, easy to commute by bus from both the airport and Funchal. Beaches and Santa Cruz pools with ocean water are nearby. Breakfast was good. The receptionist kindly helped me with finding a the bus stop to the Funchal and schedule. The room is bigger than I expected, has a desk and chair, armchair, and the wi-fi is stable so it's was comfortable to work here
The location of the hotel, everything is close to the hotel - the airport (you can walk), bus stop, restaurants, mini shops.
Very good chef, nice woman and cooked delicious omelets and pancakes for us. Very nice pool with bar.
Good service people (in bar, gardener, chef, girl in bar/kitchen.
The beautiful room with a wonderful sea view. The pool at sea level is a dream and the heated pool next to the hotel very good too. We enjoyed our breakfast with a large choice of dishes and helpful staff. There is a chef cooking anything you can wish for.
Wonderful hotel, very clean and cozy. Close to the airport, with free private parking at -1. Excellent breakfast, with chef cooking what one wants in just a few minutes. Had a wonderful time here and will definately come back.
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.
The location is great directly in the middle of Santa Cruz, you can actually walk it from the airport in about 40min. Staff was very friendly room was clean and decent for the price
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.
