I LOVED my stay at the Pallet! The rooms and bathrooms are simple, but extremely well thought out, HUGE, and super clean! Even nicer than in the photos. They overlook Santa Cruz's beautiful square, and are right by the beautiful beaches. Enrique, the host, is just lovely. Will come back!

Great guest house . Brilliant location for beach, restaurants, airport, Funchal (and the east of Maderia - we had our own car, but sure bus service good) The patron (Enrique) made us feel very welcome and was very helpful.

The place was very comfortable and in the centre of the small town of Santa Cruz. Close to the airport and local market and restaurants. Very basic and rustic outside kitchen but fun for a change. The bed was cosy and plenty of space in the room. Nice hot showers with plenty of pressure. Very clean!!!!!!!

The bath rooms are separated from the very basic private rooms and could have been a little bit more cleaner. Compared to other accomodations during our stay the value for money was below average, as it is more like a hostel than a hotel.
Santa Cruz is very close to the airport and the apartment is centrally located in the old town. It is perfect for a stay if you have an early flight. The host was very helpful and even organized a taxi for us.

At this time of the year, the restaurant area near the house was quit calm, but may be busy during the high season ??
The house is not far from the airport (20 mn walking), Enrique is very kind, he's very enthusiastic too so it was a pleasure to meet him. You can cook and eat "under the stars", near a quiet street easy to find. Don't hesitate if you come to Madeira stay at The Pallet ! And Santa Cruz is a pleasant town, with its beach, mercado and Funchal is easily reachable by bus . As we say in french : "Au top !"

Enrique, the owner, very friendly and helpful. Location - on a little square, nice ambiance, good restaurant a stone's throw away. Supermarket and bus stop both 5 minutes walking. The kitchen area was a bit like a camping, but I didn't mind.

Not really cosy. Not enough light in the room. The bathroom and toilets doors either don't close entirely or don't lock, so don't expect intimacy. The owner is cheerful but we didn't feel confortable and wouldn't recommend this place for girls travelling alone. The neighbourghood is noisy late in the evening and early in the morning.
For rooms with shared bathroom it's very clean. The price is really cheap. It's located 5min by car from the airport.
