  • Kings B&B Santa Cruz

    Beach Hotel in Santa Cruz
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 114 reviews
    Amazing studio apartment only 20 min walk away from the airport with a view to the ocean (yes, you can see it from the window), very close to the local beach, central market, and nice restaurants in the area. Bolt costs around 15 euros to get to Funchal from the place. The apartment is newly renovated, fully equipped, and very clean. The landlord let us in early in the morning (though the flight was delayed and we checked it late at night, so he patiently waited for us)

    The host was very kind and helpful. Rooms were cleanThe guesthouse is located in the center of the village, on the main square. Perfect location to beach and restaurants. This is a convenient option for early departures or late arrivals as the airport can be reached in a few minutes by car. The place is absolutey different from any other and would have charm if renovated.

  • Vila Gale Santa Cruz

    Beach Hotel in Santa Cruz
    Avg. price/night: US$319.34
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.3
    Very good - What previous guests thought, 994 reviews
    The location was excellent considering that it is close to the airport and also in terms of the beach. The hotel is right in front of the ocean. Its location is excellent even though the settlement is very small and there is nothing to do in it at all. However, if you have a car, Funchal (the capital) is also nearby. The beds were comfortable, and the room was well appointed. The bathroom was also good. The breakfast was excellent considering that it was in the form of a buffet and there were delicious dishes for everyone's taste.

  • TRIPLEX TERRASSE VUE EXCLUSIVE SUR L OCÉAN ,WIFI

    Beach Hotel in Santa Cruz
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.7
    Good - What previous guests thought, 68 reviews
    Location 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.
