Great place, should have stayed longer!

We stayed one night before our very early flight home to Edinburgh. The hotel was great, the staff lovely and very helpful. Santa Cruz is also a nice village and we wished we’d stayed a little longer. We had the afternoon, walked around the village a bit, chilled in the pool. They booked a taxi for us which was on the meter so not over priced and provided a takeaway breakfast.

Geoffrey, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great weeks stay. Breakfast was large and lots of choice. Staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean. There was a bus stop one minute away to get to the city or other areas and very efficient and reasonable. They run quite late. there is an express bus to Funchal that misses all the little stops that is worth knowing about as it's only 20 minutes. Pool was clean, although not heated so couldn't utilise it as much as I had hoped to, although I imagine most of the year it's not needed. Great views of the planes too. Would highly recommend.

Beste keuze nabij luchthaven

Op 5 min met taxi tot luchthaven. Ondanks ligging toch rustig in kamer. Zeer gezellig dorpje om avond voor terugvlucht rond te lopen / te dineren. Kamer ok, matras wel redelijk slecht. Om 5am werd nog lekker ontbijt voorzien, top gedaan.

Santa Cuz Village

O Hotel está bem localizado numa bonita vila e está bem arranjado, no entanto, há detalhes importantes em falha como p.e. os quartos não terem cofre, mini frigorífico nem máquina de café o que é tipico em hoteis de 4 estrelas. Outro aspeto que considero uma falha também é o serviço e variedade do pequeno almoço. Contudo o staff era simpático e o hotel é moderno.

The hotel was close to the local amenities and transport. Hotel was lovely and clean and the hotel library had a beautiful cave with plants. The coffee was awful but there was a nice cafe next door

Super hôtel

Nous sommes arrivés à l'hôtel à pieds après 20 minutes de marche en pleine nuit mais le personnel était top. Chambre de belle taille, propre, confortable. Piscine fraîche mais agréable, qui aurait besoin de quelques coups d'épuisette. Le petit déjeuner est juste parfait ! Nous sommes partis tôt le matin, 8€ de taxi jusqu'à l'aéroport, commandé très gentiment par l'accueil. Je recommande

Bon rapport qualité prix

Arrivée tardive et départ matinal. Bon rapport qualité prix. L’hôtel est situé sous le viaduc qui relie l’aéroport à la ville. En journée c’est peut être dérangeant.
