Excellent service, free parking, very good breakfast buffet, thankfully the restaurant was open for dinner. Only discomfort was the hard mattress, which is common in Portugal, but difficult to have a good night's sleep.

The staff are absolutely outstanding. They helped arrange an airport transfer for me early in the morning even when all the taxi drivers refused to come. Thank you for the incredible service from Hotel Colombo

The hotel was very clean and the front desk staffing were very friendly and accommodating. I would say the only thing lacking was that their was no shampoo or conditioner in the suite bathroom. But overall, a good hotel.

This hotel is an odd experience. On a beautiful small island, it is a giant architectural eyesore. We stayed here as there are not a lot of choices. But the hotel is a few km outside of Vila Do Porto, is huge, soulless and not particularly welcoming. It’s like a giant concrete lot where they park all the island visitors. They advertise a fitness center as part of the hotel. It is in the same building but not associated and they charge you €7.50 a visit. It’s tiny and was crowded when I tried to go. Not worth it. The staff at the hotel were nice enough, the included breakfast is nice enough. But if you can find a more authentic place to stay on the island, go there instead.

Great value
Very spacious hotel that included a nice breakfast. While we didn't use the outdoor pool/cabana area, it looked like a great setup. The views from our balcony were great, although it was located close enough to private residences that you could hear them in the day time (construction, etc.)
The shower water temperature would fluctuate pretty constantly, which was a bit unpleasant. When using the sink, the water would dribble down the spout and onto the counter, which was a bit strange. You could also easily hear other guests while in the bathroom which is not unique to this hotel, but also not preferred.
The front desk was nice and pleasant. They were able to call us a taxi (as the taxi did not speak English) easily within minutes.
We tried a pork sandwich and a hamburger from the bar, which were large portions. They were tasty but not great, but a good value nonetheless.
All in all it was a nice stay and we would come back.

One interesting thing is in the apartment suites they don’t have the AC in the bedroom only in the living room When it gets hot that AC in the bedroom comes in pretty handy

Pros: easy to park, comfy room and sofas in common areas, next to diving centre, good views from room.
Cons: most disappointing breakfast ever, same thing every day, tasteless eggs and cheese, no vegetables, very limited vegetarian options (don’t stay there if you’re vegan), gym is paid extra as is pool table. I wouldn’t guess this was a 4 star hotel, defo not value for money.
