Estadia excelente, num ambiente calmo e relaxado, com jacuzzi privado e um ótimo pequeno-almoço.
Pros:

Excelente alojamento para quem vive na ilha e procura, na época baixa, uma experiência diferente e de qualidade. O quarto com jacuzzi privado é um grande ponto forte, assim como o pequeno-almoço, que é muito bom. O local é calmo, relaxado e perfeito para desligar da correria do dia a dia.

Cons:

Nada a apontar, porque o alojamento é mesmo excelente.

Beautiful location, average service
Pros:

The location is truly amazing !
The room was also really nice and felt like this resort is respecting the environment.

Cons:

The service at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast wasn’t really good: waited a really long time to get a table at the breakfast. I’ve informed the reception that I was allergic to cinnamon and for breakfast I got jam with cinnamon. Thankfully I’ve noticed it, and ask for replacement. Then again I had to wait 15’ until I could ask again. The waitress told me that they hadn’t any other jam…
In the evening, we had the wait a long time to get served.

For check-out, I had to wait 20’ until someone came to the reception. I’ve called and asked the personal at the bar, and he called around.
I had to catch a plain, so almost left without being able to checkout.

Muy recomendable
Pros:

El complejo es espectacular: la localización, los espacios comunes, el restaurante…

El desayuno no es muy amplio, pero es de buena calidad.

Cons:

La piscina privada no era climatizada, es cierto que tienen una zona común tipo spa, pero no está acorde al resto de las instalaciones. Y por destacar un detalle que llama la atención a día de hoy: la televisión no es Smart TV.

Lovely concept and people, but overpriced.
Pros:

The staff was super friendly and helpful, the breakfast as well as the lunch and dinner options were great and we loved being right at the beach. We also enjoyed using the fitness and wellness area and liked that there was a kitchenette in the apartment.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable – the mattress was very hard and just laid on a slap of stone and constantly shifted out of place. There were also some other things (e.g., the front door of the apartment had a huge gap) where the quality of things did not match our expectations based on the price of the accommodation and compared to other places we stayed at during our 3 weeks on the Açores.

Delightful Location - Charming Staff
Pros:

The location is blissful and the staff utterly charming. Breakfast is outstanding but the food at supper was far too heavily seasoned (primarily salt)

This stay was relaxing, luxurious, carefree and very beautiful.
Pros:

Complementary breakfast was delicious, the entire property is so gorgeous and all of the rooms have excellent views, the staff was so accommodating and very friendly!

Cons:

You had to make a reservation to use the fitness center. I would have preferred to be able to go whenever I felt like it without planning ahead but that is really my only complaint.
