We stayed here for 3 nights on our holiday trip. The hotel is OK but the rooms are small, completely outdated, cold and ugly and so is the rest of the hotel.

The back view from the veranda was breathtaking, you can see the ocean, of course the island is small but with all... More

The breakfast was not a 4 star hotel. This hotel is a little far from the main Village called "Vila do Porto", so... More

I felt so sorry for the housekeeping staff as they attempting to keep the black stone foyer floor clean. Food was mediocre, beds were... More
