Excellent service, free parking, very good breakfast buffet, thankfully the restaurant was open for dinner. Only discomfort was the hard mattress, which is common in Portugal, but difficult to have a good night's sleep.

This hotel is an odd experience. On a beautiful small island, it is a giant architectural eyesore. We stayed here as there are not a lot of choices. But the hotel is a few km outside of Vila Do Porto, is huge, soulless and not particularly welcoming. It’s like a giant concrete lot where they park all the island visitors. They advertise a fitness center as part of the hotel. It is in the same building but not associated and they charge you €7.50 a visit. It’s tiny and was crowded when I tried to go. Not worth it. The staff at the hotel were nice enough, the included breakfast is nice enough. But if you can find a more authentic place to stay on the island, go there instead.

Great value

Very spacious hotel that included a nice breakfast. While we didn't use the outdoor pool/cabana area, it looked like a great setup. The views from our balcony were great, although it was located close enough to private residences that you could hear them in the day time (construction, etc.) The shower water temperature would fluctuate pretty constantly, which was a bit unpleasant. When using the sink, the water would dribble down the spout and onto the counter, which was a bit strange. You could also easily hear other guests while in the bathroom which is not unique to this hotel, but also not preferred. The front desk was nice and pleasant. They were able to call us a taxi (as the taxi did not speak English) easily within minutes. We tried a pork sandwich and a hamburger from the bar, which were large portions. They were tasty but not great, but a good value nonetheless. All in all it was a nice stay and we would come back.
