This is an excellent hotel. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was roomy and well laid out. The bathroom was the best hotel bathroom I've seen in decades -- enough counter space, 2 sinks, things arranged in sensible ways (I'm convinced that most hotel bathroom designers have never stayed in a hotel!). The breakfast buffet is excellent with something for everyone (except no chocolate sprinkes for the Dutch). Make sure your rate includes breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. The towel system means availability of towels for the beach or the hot pools. The grounds are pleasant -- we saw the uniquely Azorean daylight bat flying out near the tennis court. The beach is very close. As others have commented, the location is isolated and you will need a car, but it is quite central on the island.

Beach resort - let the waves lull you to sleep
This is a very nice place to stay - huge rooms, beautiful views of a black sand beach and turquoise water - we fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing every night. The staff are super friendly and helpful!! Breakfast was included and there was always something one could find to eat. The coffee seems to contain chocolate - not great, but we took it as a peculiarity and went with it. We never ate lunch or dinner there. Dinner was always a buffet style and reviews hadn’t been great. We like to have vinho with dinner thus don’t want to drive - the beach bar a short walk away served us well - basic food and drink, but very affordable and hit the spot for a couple of nights. Very good restaurants are 5-10 minutes drive away (Casa do Abel is highly recommended with a reservation!) The pool area is lovely and has its own bar too. The grounds were immaculate. I found this hotel to be very peaceful. This hotel is a beach resort which harkens back to the past. I loved the feel, and would most definitely go back myself, however, if you happen to be someone with mold/dust allergies, I’d be hesitant to stay as there is carpet everywhere. Carpet that has been there awhile…replacing this would be a huge step forward for the hotel. The beach was one of the most beautiful we saw in the azores…big waves, excellent surfing, but lots of people going into the very warm water. We found this hotel a great spot from which to visit the island.

I thought the property was beautifully situated with a beautiful view of the ocean and hillsides. The entire hotel is nicely appointed. We loved our room and the view from the balcony. The staff were delightful though I thought that the cooking facilities at breakfast were not adequate. They need a proper cooking service for omelettes etc and more than one cook!

The outdated hotel with the non existent service. All staff is nice- but 0 help/ in my case. Nice big rooms with amazing view but rurally outdated- dirty carpets. Scratched walls. No toiletries except of body wash. The pool should bd heated- too cold even at the end of June. Breakfast buffet is ok but the sand for 7 days. Pool bar is good- when there is anybody there to take ur order. The area is very convenient if h have a car
