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.

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 .-)

This place is an exceptional value. Where will you find in Madeira an accommodation with breakfast for 60 EUR a night, Swimming pool and sun deck terrace? Nowhere! Modern attachment to old building, well sound proofed too, with closed windows the outside noise was blocked to minimum. Due to extreme noise of landing and taking off aircraft every few minutes from nearby airport you will really appreciate this. Mini Supermarket only few meters from the hotel and Santa Cruz village centre with restaurants and promenade about 10 minutes.
