Very pleasant!
Pros:

Lovely big tranquil hotel built with lots of imagination! Could it make some improvements? Yes,it could.But,the price is right , the atmosphere is friendly, location is quiet ,the breakfast buffet is very good as well as the all you can eat buffet in the evening for the sheer price of 1500 escudo. We loved it here ❤️ we intend to go back !The build style reminds us of the old Florida luxurious hotels.
Btw...just outside on the beach you'll find an outdoor gym built by the locals.

Cons:

Tips for the hotel management: provide garden-chair pillows,please,as your beautiful chairs are quite uncomfortable (just using a towel is not enough).

Pas pratique
Pros:

Le personnel était très sympathique ! La disponibilité du bar et des repas était très bien. Et la vue était magnifique.

Cons:

Le wifi qui ne marche que dans le hall. Le pommeau de douche était super petit et pas très fonctionnelle, le tuyeau du lavabo était cassé dans il y a de l’eau dans l’étroite salle de bain.

Ce n' est pas un resort! Tout est passable mais avec peu pourrait-être très bien.
Pros:

Le calme, la grandeur des chambres, la piscine et le personnel sympa toujours ok pour rendre service

Cons:

L'ascenseur en panne (sûrement depuis longtemps), le laisser aller de certaines installations extérieures et du manque d'entretien général qui est réduit au minimum.

Sto Antao Art resort necesita mejorar
Pros:

Los desayunos son muy buenos. El personal es atento y disponible.
Las habitaciones son grandes y comodas.

Cons:

Cuando fuimos habian grupos que desayunaban temprano y cuando ya bajamos nosotros a desayunar teniamos que pedir reposicion de comida, no lo hacian de forma automatica o voluntaria.
Tienen cenas buffet pero al final no hemos cenado ahi ningun dia porque salia más barato comer fuera y con más variedad. Las opciones eran limitadas y repetitivas.
El hotel no está en el centro pero se hace bien andando unos 15/20min.
El ascensor sigue roto.
El hotel en general no está mal pero ya pide algunas reformas. Para un 4* les falta mejorar.

Ich bin gerne im Santantao Resort, aber eine Auffrischung des Hotels wäre an der Zeit.
Pros:

Die Außenanlage beeindruckt durch ihre große Pflanzenvielfalt und den Pool.
Die Zimmer sind immer sehr sauber.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Lift ist seit Jahren defekt (Treppensteigen beschwerlich für ältere Leute mit Koffer).
Beim Frühstücksbuffet und Frühstücksservice gibt es viel Luft nach oben.
