The Quinta was very nice. Bed was extremely comfortable. There was a fireplace but we didn't use. Beautiful flowers around the grounds. The location is up in the mountains about 1/2 hour from Funchal. There was a Sunday market in town as well as some small markets and places to eat. A storm Monday night took out the electricity when we awoke in the morning. Very clean place and lots of room. We had a 1 bedroom unit. Was great to have a kitchen and fridge to make coffee in the morning.

The chalet was spacious, clean and comfortable and even with the windows open at night the aircraft noise did not disrupt my sleep though I was bothered by mosquitoes on my last night.
Lovely to have use of a washing machine and detergent and to have a drying rack available in the chalet.

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 !
Beautiful 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.
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.
Enrique 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!
Gorgeous apartment in a great location just a short walk from Santa Cruz town. 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!
This hotel was a 5 min taxi ride from the airport. It was very helpful since we arrived at 11:30pm. The staff was very friendly and the room was very comfortable. We had 5 people and rented two rooms, but was given a suite that had both rooms together in one. It was very nice. The breakfast was good and plentiful. I would absolutely stay here again!
The hotel was quiet, clean and located a walking distance from the small city center of Santa Cruz. The staff was highly professional. Breakfast was Ok.
For those who have a car, it is a short drive from Ponta do Sao Lourenco.
Good choice if you're interested in staying close to the airport
Friendly, silent, clean, perfect beds and breakfast. For 3 adults we had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, shower and bath. There are even blackout curtains!
Absolutely helpful and kind staff. The best hotel where we stayed during our 2 week vacation in Madeira. Santa Cruz is a lovely town.
We really enjoy the hotel facilities. Indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Sauna. Very good breakfast with plenty of choices. The village with good restaurants, the cleanliness of the hotel, the sea view and the sound of the waves and of course easy access to the airport.
This little hotel is all you need! amazing location right in the heart of Santa Cruz village. The room had a balcony which was great, all amenities were clean and the price was a bonus. 2 minute walk to the beach as well!
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.
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.
The location is great for a last night before taking the plane back home even though parking a car in Santa Cruz is not that esay and also for the restaurants which are all around.
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.
