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.Knapp_NikaHungary - 4.0Scored 4.0

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· 788 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· 37 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· 72 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 - From 1,789.56 zł per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 624 reviewsHotel staff was exceptionally helpful. We had an early morning flight after our stay and we were not only provided with complimentary transport to the airport but also some packed lunch for our way home. The hotel itself is located just a quick walk from Santa Cruz city centre so if you don’t want to stay only on the property and don’t have a car you can easily get there by foot. We were a bit worried that the hotel will be loud due to the close proximity to both the highway and the airport but you can’t really hear anything.GabrielaUnited Kingdom
- 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,499 reviewsThe location is very conveniently placed next to the airport, while still being very peaceful and calm. Santa Cruz, a little town in the southeast of Madeira is a sleepy little place with a lot of good restaurants and a nice pebble beach. There’s car rental in the city, so you can get anywhere from here. Funchal is a 10-15 minute drive away, too. The breakfast was good, nothing extraordinary but you also won’t miss a lot of things. The cleanliness and comfort of the hotel rooms is exceptional for the price.
YannikBrazil - 7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 818 reviewsEnrique 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!DEJAN RUSJANSlovenia
- 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 - From 236.46 zł per night7.4Scored 7.4GoodRated good· 1,016 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
- 8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,499 reviewsThis 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!
