pool, nice location, clean, everyone was very kind

Mariya United States of America

The room was clean and comfortable with the balcony which had a nice view to the pool and ocean. Breakfast was good and standard for the hotel.

M Lithuania

Our lovely sea facing room with balcony, helpful reception staff and a good location close to the village centre. We honestly had no idea what to expect after booking the room half an hour before checking in due to a cancelled late-evening flight at the end of our holiday. We were just glad to find a decent hotel that could take us, and we were very happy with what we found.

Wilkinson United Kingdom

Location - next to the beach and just 7 taxi-euros from the airport. Early check-in was possible, much appreciated! The room was nice (with lateral sea view, over expectations); it had all the usual furniture and equipment. Plain and carbonated water provided (and replenished) in the fridge. Helpful and friendly staff.

Olev Portugal

Nice location near the airport. Had a lovely view in my room. Staff were always very helpful and polite. Had a great time at this hotel with my parter.

Ms United Kingdom

well maintained, had an air of class about it, similar to big posh hotels in city breaks I’ve had.

David United Kingdom

go for the all inclusive. variety and food are great. 5 minutes away from the airport and relatively far from the busy Funchal area.

Wladimir United Kingdom

The pool, the location on the main front with access to the sea off the jetty. We really liked the aqua gym classes that were popular with many holiday makers. very clean and well looked after.

Susan United Kingdom

Great hotel - very nice staff, tasty thematic dinners and the food in general, view on the airport :)

Martin Czech Republic

Directly in the center of Santa Cruz, everything you need is very near by foot. The pool is very nice and you only need some steps to go to the beach - it is difficult to go into the sea because of the stones, but there is a ladder to use - that makes it easy :) Although the airport is very near, you nearly don't hear the planes in the room when the window is closed. We stayed there only for one night because out flight was cancelled
