I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, just a stone's throw from the beach, and the views were amazing. The service could use some improvement as the front desk staff wasn't as attentive as I'd hoped. The room was clean but had a musty smell, which made for an uncomfortable night. Overall, it offered good value for money, but a few areas fell short.

The location is simply awesome! It's very close to the public beach, which felt almost private because of its access point. It's perfect for exploring Sao Miguel and just a great view of the ocean.

The dining situation was quite repetitive; for 14 days, breakfast included the same options – scrambled eggs, bacon, and a variety of breads and fruits. I wish there had been more variety.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to have some great spots along with a few disappointments. The rooms were newly decorated and very clean, offering a lovely view of the ocean. However, the noise from the nearby bar/cafe was quite bothersome late into the night. The location was fantastic, with easy access to the beach and local restaurants. On the downside, the service could use some improvement as there were issues with the staff's responsiveness. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I wouldn’t say it was flawless.

The hotel has a superb location with a beautiful ocean view, making it a lovely spot to unwind. The rooms can vary; some overlook the ocean beautifully, but I’d recommend avoiding the lower floors as they don't quite match up with the pictures. While the service was super friendly, I encountered a hiccup with my room not being ready on time. Overall, it’s a decent choice for a beach getaway, but there’s room for improvement in some areas.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is great, right by the harbour, making it convenient for beach lovers and exploring Sao Miguel. However, the rooms were a letdown—no coffee maker, and they weren't ready when I arrived. The service was solid but a bit slow at check-in. Dining had a decent selection but could have been better presented. Overall, there's potential here if a few issues are addressed.
