Perfect airport hotel. 5 minutes from the airport and very clean hotel. Safe area. Nice staff. We left before breakfast started but the facility looked nice. If you need to be near the airport, this is a great choice

Perfect for Airport!

Hotel was conveniently situated a couple of miles from Madeira Airport, perfect for an early morning flight! Although the restaurant was closed, l was given a discount voucher for sister establishment opposite the church and the food was excellent! Left hotel by booked taxi before breakfast was served! 😢 Santa Cruz is pretty little town!

This is a basic hotel. The showers need a thorough deep clean. The roof top pool is beautiful but there are no pool towels. The restaurant was closed which was not posted on their website when we booked. The positive was that it was near the airport for an early flight.
