Hotels in Praia de Santa Cruz

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

"Our stay was a true delight, and we will for surw be returning next year! The property was clean and the amenities were amazing, from the pool, to the spa, gym, and of course the breath taking beach! Oh, and I cant forget to mention the fabtaatic breakfast!"

"I really liked the pool area. The breakfast was fantastic!"

"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."

"Beautiful setting. Restaurant has excellent staff and food!"

"I recently stayed at Villa Galega and had a truly enjoyable experience. The villa is beautifully maintained, with a peaceful atmosphere that made it perfect for a relaxing getaway. The interior was clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated, with all the amenities we needed—from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable beds and a great living area. The location was convenient—close enough to shops, restaurants, and local attractions, but tucked away just enough to feel quiet and secluded. The host was responsive and friendly, offering helpful local tips and ensuring our stay went smoothly. Overall, Villa Galega was a fantastic place to stay, and I would definitely return or recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic vacation spot."
