The hotel was very clean however we had some concerns with the air conditioning being very low in the room but despite asking 3 times to have someone look at it to let us know if this is normal they didn't follow up with us on this which left me feeling very unvalued.

If you want to visit the island of San Miguel this is an excellent option. The hotel is not brand new but it is very nice, lovely ocean view, quiet and rooms are very spacious and bright. Staff is extremely friendly. Hotel is well located for all key spots in San Miguel but you do need a car to get around. The beach at the hotel is very nice.

Such a beautiful location right on the water. With stunning views of the coast and a black sand beach within walking distance, this hotel was the perfect start to my first time visiting the Azores. Staff was excellent. Pool was wonderful as well as location.

The location is lovely but I do not think I will stay there when I return to the Azores. The last night I was there I found small ants in the bed. I was not happy with the attitude of some of the front desk staff and although when I spoke up the management did apologize, it still left a sour taste in my mouth. The view was spectacular but there is no coffee making provisions in the rooms. One must pay 7 euros a day for a hot water machine. I do not think this rates a for star rating.
