We really enjoyed this hotel! We had room 226 which had a nice view over the Horta marina and Pico island. The room and hallway looked recently painted, although the bathroom was a little dated. We had a big balcony with a table and chairs. The service at the reception was excellent and friendly. We also tried the a la carte menu at the restaurant. It was excellent!! The waiting staff was really friendly and we noth had a filet mignon (only 22,50) with spinachspread, batatas and shrimps. It was the best dish we had on the whole trip!! We went for another meal the next day. I'm sure the buffet wasn't as nice as the a la carte menu, so if you have the choice, eat a la carte instead of at the buffet. The breakfast was also very nice and one of the few that had a jug of soymilk, which I totally emptied :P We also tried the little hotelgym, that was situated behind the pool and jacuzzi. Maybe the hotel could check it once in a while, some of the equipment looked as if it needed repairment. From the hotel it is quite an easy, but sometimes steep walk to Horta city center. read more

I stayed here for 8 nights for a conference in June 2014. I did not expect much from the pictures, but I was pleasantly surprised by a number of factors, most important of which was the friendly service and hospitality. The staff went out of their way whenever someone needed something. A few things to know: Wifi was spotty and slow. For a small amount you can purchase wifi for a week through a local provider and it works in different places on the island. The rooms were updated about 5 years ago and are pretty nice. The beds, however, leave a little to be desired in the way of comfort. They have a full bar area with tv. Nice area to have a drink at the end of the day. Pretty substantial breakfast each morning although the food in the Azores, generally, leaves a lot to be desired. There are two beaches within walking distance, the nicer of which is about a 5-7 minute walk. The hotel is centrally located. Really a perfect spot, steps away from everything. They have a small gym and indoor pool as well as a nice outdoor infinity pool. Beautiful views! I would highly recommend this hotel for this specific location and would not hesitate to return. read more

Very spacious Hotel. We enjoyed the indoor swimming pool as it was a bit fresh outside. Also you can use the tennis courts Free of charge if you stay at the Hotel. They also have a small but nicely equipped gym. Towels are always provided by the Hotel. The room was clean and we had a wonderful view on Pico Island. Breakfast buffet includes a large variety of bread, cereals...and most of all, local products. I loved their natural authentic yoghurt and cheese as well as jams. Regretfully, the premisses are getting a bit old and it would be great to refresh the painting on the walls and carpets inside. The room service is quite variable. We asked for tea to be brought to our room after a big rain shower and get 2 small cups served on a plate. The second time at least, we got two small teapots and a chocolate on each saucer, served on a tray. I wouldn't recommend the hotel restaurant for lunch or dinner as their prices are much higher than other restaurants in the area, although we ate there once and the food was OK. However, it's OK for snacking. For ex, the serve hamburger with french fries for about 5€. Wifi in the lobby works great! However, the access connection from the room was terrible although the have 2 or 3 different servers. Overall we had a great stay and the location of the hotel made it really convenient to access to the marina and diving centers. Hope this helps ! :) read more
