Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Sentido Galosol

10/10 Excellent

"Our econd visit to this hotel. The most comfortable beds, great breakfast. Facilities in the gym are fantasic and the lift down to the sea swimming is brilliant. Loved it"

Albatroz Beach & Yacht Club

10/10 Excellent

"We wanted to make our anniversary special, so we chose this hotel for its location, pools and mention of a restaurant. Everything was prepared beautifully. I truly wish I remembered the names of the staff or had written them down. There was an older gentleman and a woman with braces in the restaurant that were so incredibly attentive and kind. There was a woman with glasses and a gentleman with facial hair at the front desk that were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They made this location an 11/10. We could not be happier with the level of service provided. I could not imagine a better stay in Madeira."

Rocamar Lido Resort

8/10 Good

"Room was dated but clean. Indoor pool was useful. Can't swim at the beach because there no beach, very rocky and waves were pretty rough, but nice to have waterfront view. Very accessible to funchal by bus. Bus stop was just a block away. Font desk were not too helpful interms of going out of their way looking for excursions outside of their tour partners. Beach towels were controlled, first sets are free, if need clean ones there are extra fees and must return the towels to front desk to avoid fees. Cannot leave it in the room. Breakfast was good. All in all, we enjoyed our stay."

PortoBay Serra Golf

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived around 22.30 as our flight was delayed & security took over an hour to get through. We took the wrong road and ended up in steep narrow lanes. Once we arrived we were so happy with our room. Very clean and had everything we needed. A great nights sleep & a good breakfast. It’s a shame we couldn’t stay longer as we had booked a property in Ponte do Sol. A great hotel. Thank you "
