The resort is the perfect place to spend your last day before heading back to the airport or for close access to Ponta da San Lorenco. The facilities are really nice. My husband and I enjoyed the restaurant, tennis court, and pools immensely. However, the hospitality we were shown was really what made this stay so incredible. I caught a cold while I was here and the front desk had tea sent to my room without us asking. They also asked me how I was feeling whenever they saw us, and really went above and beyond in every way.

The property was well equipped, very clean and comfortable. The ocean view from the balcony was amazing and a great spot for watching the sunrise in the mornings. The check in and out process was also straight forward and the owners were very responsive to all messages.

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 .-)

Everything at the highest level. Equipment in the house is new - from the kettle to the washing machine, iron, large fridge to pots. Purely. Fast wi-fi. Close to shops, restaurants, beach and bus stop. Because all of Santa Cruz is located near the airport, you can hear planes landing, but it's not the fault of the house owner. Contact with the owner sensational, if I needed something, it was enough to write / call. A week spent in great conditions. I recommend.

Ana and Joao, our hosts, were superb! Beautiful island, stunning scenery, wonderful hosts (worth repeating!!!) and accommodation, and the warm, welcoming, kind Madeiran people. Had a magnificent time! Oh, and the food and restaurants are top class, most especially in Santa Cruz! We were also able to do some 'planespotting' due to the residences' proximity to the airport, but there was no issue whatsoever with noise. I was very, very sad to leave!!!
