Great location and beautiful views over the ocean. You can walk right outside and go swimming in the ocean, rent a kayak/paddleboard, or just walk along the coastline. Breakfast is absolutely delicious and full of fresh, locally sourced fruits, veggies, eggs, and meats. Also fresh squeezed juice! The restaurant is very good. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I definitely recommend this hotel!

The breakfast was consistently good we stayed for three nights. The shower leaked, and it appeared that the taps were not fully adhered to the wall, which means that it leaked out through the bottom every time someone showered. Beds were old and very springy so sleeping not overly comfortable, but everything was clean just very basic. Reminded me of higher end hostel room. Very limited restaurants in town and closet place 20 away Furnas. Staff disinterested but ok and mostly pleasant. There was no safe in the room, and my son had left his AirPods in his bag in room. He didn’t use them while he was staying there and just assumed they were in his bag but when we left and we’re on the road, we noticed they were gone we called the hotel and they said they did not find them in the room. We tried again the next day and sent an email and they said they had checked, and nothing was found. However once back in Canada we got alert that someone had charged them and whoever had them was in hotel area. Would have been nice if had safes in room. Overall would not stay there again and could not reccommend due to beds, leaking tub and item missing. We stayed at two other hotels in our one week in the both much better. Would put hotel at 2-3 star.

Nous avons séjourné une nuit dans cet hôtel avec mon conjoint et avons beaucoup apprécié notre expérience. La chambre était belle, très propre, et offrait une vue impressionnante sur la marina. L’accès au bar et à la piscine a été grandement apprécié — un service plutôt rare aux Açores. La petite ville de Povoação a également beaucoup de charme : piscine publique, plage, casse-croûte et marina sont regroupés côte à côte, juste devant l’hôtel. Pour les enfants, un parc avec modules de jeux et mini-putt est aussi juste a côté de la piscine publique. Il n’y a pas une grande variété de restaurants dans le coin, mais nous avons très bien mangé en suivant les recommandations avisées de la réception. Le lendemain, il a été un peu difficile de trouver un taxi pour notre retour vers Ponta Delgada, mais heureusement, le personnel de l’hôtel a été très aidant et efficace.

Lovely location but service falls a bit short

The location is great and Povacao is such a lovely town. The hotel has some nice features such as the pool and the circular staircase but somehow it has very little good atmosphere. The welcome is not very friendly and a four star hotel should provide pool towels without demanding a deposit or having to sign a contract not to use the ones from the room. The breakfast is ok and the beds are very comfortable.

Très bon étape

Hôte très agréable, calme,tous les équipements nécessaires, chambre spacieuse et confortable, très bon petit déjeuner avec des produits locaux : fromage local, yaourt local, pain local… piscine avec jacuzzi. Un bon hôtel pour sillonner le nord de l’île. Un séjour de deux nuits où nous serions bien resté davantage.

Das Hotel liegt wunderschön, direkt am kleinen Hafen von Povoacao. Parkmöglichkeiten direkt vor dem Hotel, die Straße endet am Ende vom Hotel, somit kein Durchgangsverkehr für die Seeblick Zimmer. Die Zimmer sind sauber und sicher nicht mehr ganz neu eingerichtet, aber haben alles was man braucht, seperates Bad mit WC, Minikühlschrank, TV, extra Sitzmöglichkeiten. Es gibt einen Aufzug. Ein Pool und ein sehr warmer Whirlpool sind kostenlos nutzbar. Es gibt eine Bar, die leider meist ziemlich verwaist war, Getränke und Snacks sind aber günstig. Der Service, sowohl an der Rezeption, wie auch beim Frühstück waren sehr sehr gut. Frühstück regional, mit Auswahl an Käse, Wurst, Speck und Eiern, dazu Säfte, frischer Kuchen, ein Pancake Automat, div Früchte und Marmelade. Kaffee kommt aus dem Automaten, hier reichlich Auswahlmöglichkeiten, Kaffee eher stark, aber ganz gut für Automaten. Zimmer wird auf Wunsch täglich gereinigt.

Einiges könnte besser sein.

Das Hotel hat eine tolle Lage direkt am Hafen. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und die gegen das Meer haben einen tollen Ausblick, vor allem die in der zweiten Etage. Irgendwie fehlt mir aber etwas das Engagement. Der Pool ist nicht sauber (ich habe einen Toten Vogel rausgefischt) und die Temperatur im Whirlpool ist gefühlte 40 Grad! Auch nach Reklamation blieb das so.
