Hotels in Praia de Santa Cruz

"Ocean front property! Clean and friendly staff !!"

"Love this hotel! We had an amazing time. The only thing I can say it needs to improve is it's beach access and extra chairs for the beach area. Overall, it's a great place to stay and enjoy Portugal. "

"The villa is so lovely, looking both cozy and boutique. The heated pool was a great add-on at the end of a hot day at the beach. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome. A few things I felt could be improved: the lack of beach towels (this surprised me and I wasn't prepared for it, as I've received beach towels at all stays in Portugal); general lack of towels (there are 2 towels provided per person and they are VERY small); the breakfast choices (the breakfast felt a bit "lacking" compared to all other villas/hotels I visited in Portugal, and I personally didn't have much choice there and ate breakfast outside); Also, another detail that made me feel uncomfortable was the one of the ladies working there was ill one of the days, and was helping around the kitchen coughing. I really did not feel at ease with that situation at all, as I really would not want to catch a virus on a holiday!"

"We loved staying here! Perfect location- right in town and close to the beach. Super clean, great service. "

"As we had a van, parking is hit and miss nearby as it is all in the street. Once we found a park we left the car there for the duration of the stay."

"As others have noted, this is an undeniably beautiful place. We stayed in two suites--an ocean view suite on night one, and the master suite on night two. The rooms were both very comfortable and well-appointed. The nearby beach, easily accessible by car, is beautiful, uncrowded, and served by a great little beachfront cafe (full bar, snacks, sandwiches, etc.). All of that is great and as advertised. (There was a minor glitch with the air-conditioning, but that was apparently a hotel-wide issue that was resolved pretty quickly.) The bigger issue is the constant club music blaring through the outdoor speakers from breakfast until 10/11pm. It's very audible in the oceanside suites, including the master suite. We asked several times if the speakers could be turned off outside, as there was often no one sitting outside to begin with. But the staff told us they could not turn off the speakers. They repeatedly committed to turn the music down, but if they in fact turned the music down, it wasn't noticeable. I'm sure there are plenty of guests looking for a beautiful, clubby patio from morning until bedtime. (Although, as noted, I didn't see very many of those people outside during our stay.) But if you're looking for a serene hotel on a cliff where you can hear the ocean, this is not the place for you -- you are much more likely to hear a dance remix."
