The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the sea. The hotel is very quiet, there are no breakfast queues or big crowds at the pools like in big hotels. It's the perfect place for relaxing. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The restaurant surprised us with its excellent quality.

The room was spacious and very clean. The shower was very strong which is something I like and we were very happy to have the common terrace just in front of our room (212 or 202 I believe) Staff was smiley and welcoming and they left us 2 breakfasts to take with us to the airport: one apple, one sandwich and one juice/tea. Location is also very close to the city center and the coast line.

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.

Both receptionists were lovely. Inside interior of the hotel is nice. We stayed with a 4 year old and 9 months baby. Our room was on the 2nd floor which was easy to access with a pushchair as there is a lift. The room was decent, the location was perfect with 5 mins walk to the town center and the beach. The swimming pool on the 3rd floor was great with some sunbeds and beautiful view to the mountain. There is also a tiny gym.

Very close to the airport. Beautiful location. Lovely large spotless clean rooms. We had someone pick us up on our arrival and then we were dropped back at the airport on our departure. I booked the hotel s a surprise for my husband’s 60th birthday. I let the hotel know and they had a lovely bottle of Prosecco and local Portuguese custard tarts in our room as a lovely gesture. It was much appreciated.

Loved the balcony which we spent most of the time on and the view. Comfortable accesses via coded door (no key to lose) and free off street parking. Close proximity to Santa Cruz centre, cafés and restaurants, shortish walk via veredas if you not scared of quite a steep climb on the way back 😅
