"If you are walking the Camino, this a wonderful, short detour and well worth it for the comfortable bed and lovely pool! We took a 6 euro uber from caminha centre and enjoyed such a lovely, luxury stay during our camino. The location is so peaceful and quiet and the pool did wonders for our aching bodies! Our hosts were so helpful and kind and the standard of accommodation was fantastic. We were leaving early the next day but we were sent on our way with the most amazing breakfast. We were sad...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Santa Cruz?
The best area to stay in Santa Cruz is along the beachfront, particularly near the main promenade and the historic centre.

This area is the heart of Santa Cruz, offering direct access to the expansive sandy beaches and the Atlantic Ocean. The promenade, lined with cafes and seafood restaurants, runs parallel to the Avenida do Mar, making it very pleasant for walks. The historic centre, just a short stroll inland, features traditional Portuguese architecture and local shops.

For families, staying near the main beach is ideal. The shallow waters are suitable for children, and there are often facilities like playgrounds and ice cream parlours along the promenade. Many accommodations in this area offer family-friendly apartments with easy access to the beach for a day of sun and sand.

Couples looking for a relaxing coastal getaway will also appreciate this area. They can enjoy romantic strolls along the beach at sunset, dine at the numerous beachfront restaurants, and explore the quaint streets of the historic centre.
When is the best time to go to Santa Cruz?
The best time to visit Santa Cruz is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is warm and sunny, great for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities.

During this period, you can expect average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 28°C, with plenty of sunshine. This makes it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and exploring the coastal paths. The ocean temperatures are also at their warmest, making water sports more enjoyable.

Families often find July and August particularly appealing due to the school holidays, allowing for extended stays and a relaxed pace. The town is bustling with activities and events during these months, suiting all ages.

For couples seeking a slightly quieter experience while still enjoying excellent weather, June and September are superb choices. The crowds are thinner, but the pleasant temperatures remain, great for romantic strolls along the beach or dining al fresco.

While the summer is the most popular time, those interested in surfing might find the shoulder seasons of May and October offer good waves with fewer people.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.

Prices for hotels in Santa Cruz often vary, but you can find a great deal from CA $47 on Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as the time of year or the days of the week you choose for your stay. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for the cheapest rate.
