They were kind enough to bring me a kettle which, as a tea drinker, was so very kind and I really appreciated. Very clean and well located in the town also. Highly recommend!

Lovely hotel on Pico island
Lovely hotel on Pico island great breakfast included. Beds are on the firmer side and parking might be a bit of a challenge in peak times but would stay again for sure. Pool area looked great too.

Very good hotel.
Our room and bathroom were very good, with large comfortable bed, excellent bedding and towels and very clean.
The breakfast buffet was good and opened at 7.00, allowing time to start activities early.
Our only disappointment was that we arrived at 10.00 on the ferry from Horta and, whilst knowing that check in was not officially until 4pm did hope to get in the room before we did at 3pm.

4 nights in Madalena
I had 4 nights in this very agreeable hotel
Very convenient for boat terminal and whale watching trips and restaurants
I was lucky to get a balcony overlooking the pool and the sea
Breakfast was more than adequate and plenty of it!
Room was comfortable and very quiet
Absolutely no need to change my towels and sheets every day! I certainly did not ask for it!

Really friendly staff, Miguel was particularly helpful. Comfortable room with good breakfast. Complimentary tea was available in the Reception area during our stay, which was much appreciated. Walking distance from shops. Parking can be a bit tricky, but perhaps they have additional spaces we were not aware of

Great family hotel and central location
Great location, service, family friendly. Only problem we had that air conditioning was not working in one room but to the staff credit they acknowledged the problem and quicky transferred us to different room.

The property itself is a little dated but the staff keep it clean. I was pleasantly surprised that the breakfast buffet had very fresh selection of fruits and hot food. For the price point, I would stay here again.
The hotel also accommodates transfers around the island for a fee, but it's very convenient to set up instead of looking for a taxi.

Excellent hotel in the center of the town. Rooms are rather small but okay. The lighting is not very bright. Equipment of the rooms are according to 4 star hotels. Excellent breakfast. Parking is available but it is better to have a small car. We would return anytime.
