Very sweet, clean village with friendly people (but not in-your-face). Lots of bars and restaurants, reasonably priced. Lovely wine, good food and some nice boutiques too. Easy to get to Funchal on buses and there are also plenty of taxis. Its minutes from the airport and planes fly very low overhead but it is spectacular to see without being too noisy. Loved it.

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 .-)

The hotel stay was comfortable and the staff were friendly. The daily shuttle into Funchal and back to the hotel was well organised and convenient as it is a 30 mins drive and would otherwise be an expensive taxi! Hotel is less than 5 mins drive from the airport (with a taxi via Bolt only costing €4). Good location, nice local town with restaurants and felt safe to walk about in the evening.
