After 25yrs married to a hill farmer I planned our trip so an outdoors man would have a good time....WOW this Hotel is wonderful not only the Sea pools,Fresh water pool,Rooms,Garden views,Food.

You can't ask for more; the sea, tennis, pool and a lovely restaurant with excellent service! We gladly recommend it. And if you want to play golf-10 minutes by car!

We returned to the Albatroz for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time that we will always cherish. The location is stunning, looking out over the sea and towards the nearby islands.

Situated off the motorway this hotel is situated between the runway and the sea .As soon as I entered the hotel grounds any traffic noise ceased and I was only aware of aircraft when I walked into Santa Cruz. The walk took 15 minutes to get into the centre near the church. A pleasant small town with several street restaurants.... More

All in all the Service is excellent, also... More

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with private balconies offering beautiful views of the sea. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a buffet breakfast... More

A beautiful hotel, very good service, perfect location for a very reasonable price. One thing to know : Better to rent a car if you want to visit the island. If you feel like just "farniente", to do nothing else that enjoy the sun, no car needed !

We visited Madeira for the first time in late May 2011. We’d wanted to visit the Funchal area and part of the island. We couldn't see anything in Funchal that impressed us as a place to stay, so I looked in Santa Cruz. My husband and I are both so grateful that I did that! This smallish private hotel is... More
