Pros:

Lo staff è molto disponibile e presente. La struttura è semplice ma pulita. Nota positiva è la piscina, dato che durante il nostro soggiorno non era possibile fare il bagno in mare. Buona anche la cucina dello chef!
La camera che avevamo aveva una vista eccezionale sull'oceano, indimenticabile

Cons:

Le camere sono davvero molto piccole ed essenziali, difficile viaggiare con grossi bagagli...

Greit hotell, men for høyt priset.
Pros:

Hotellet hadde en hyggelig foaje og fin terrasse og serverte god mat. På kartet til Booking fikk jeg inntrykk av at hotellet lå i sentrum av Sao Felipe. Det ligger utenfor byen. Jeg trodde jeg leide en leilighet. Det viste seg å være et dobbeltrom med kloakklukt fra badet.

Cons:

Hotellet lå litt for langt fra byen Sao Felipe og dessverre fungerte ikke internett på rommet. Opplysningene på Booking var misvisende. Det får man lett til å tenke på lureri.

Incredibly bad hotel
Pros:

The only nice thing about this place is the swimming pool with ocean view

Cons:

Upon arrival we were told that the room we booked, a suite with jacuzzi, was already booked by others (although it appeared available online). We got downgraded to a room with no window, very warm as it was under the roof and with NO electricity! Not possible to charge the phone and turn on AC or light. We had to pay a regular price for a room we did not want and that was even worse than how it was advertised. Then, when we paid the bill (which we were asked to pay at the beginning of the stay instead of at the end) they charged by mistake one thousand euros on our credit cars! Luckily we realised it just 20 min later. But it took the whole afternoon for them to call a technician who could revert the transaction on their device and we had to wait there with our credit card ready for many attempts to get the money back. We lost half a day of our holidays time. The person at the reception was not helpful at all, did not propose any compensation for the time we lost, the stress and the awful room. After paying for an horrible service all we got was a glass of juice for free. Absolutely the worse service we ever received.

mooi uitzicht , lief en behulpzaam personeel. heerlijk ontbijt maar zeer slecht bereikbaar Hotel
Pros:

de behulpzaamheid van het personeel en de eigenaar(op afstand)

Cons:

BOOKING VALT M IJ ONTZETTEND TEGEN. meerder keren contact gezocht met booking, i.v.m. gecancelde vluchten. maar ondanks diverse pogingen NO respons van BOOKING, dus hebben we maar alle nachten betaald ( 5 i.p.v. 3) en hebben we extra nachten moeten betalen in Mindeloo ( Sao Vicente) op een ander eiland.
De weg van de ferry naar het hotel op Sao Nicolau was dramatisch. zeer slechte weg en naar het dorp moeizaam om te lopen.

Pros:

Die Größe des Zimmers mit Aussicht auf das Meer.Sehr komfortabel.Sehr nettes u.hilfsbereites Personal!In ca.10 Minuten in der Stadt.Schöner Infinitypool!

Cons:

Badewanne mit Top Aussicht wie auf dem Bild beschrieben hatte leider nur lauwarmes Wasser u.keinen Wasserdruck! Wir versuchten ein Lunchpaket zu bestellen da wir sehr frühzeitig zum Flughafen mussten u.das Frühstücksbuffet leider nicht in Anspruch nehmen konnten.War aber nichts vorbereitet. Auf der Terrasse der Suite wären Liegen sehr komfortabel!

Pros:

La piscine infinity et la vue fabuleuse sur la plage.
La chambre était confortable (lit) et balcon apprecié

Cons:

Globalement séjour en demi teinte avec du très bon et du très mauvais pour un hotel censé être 4 étoiles booking.
Pour commencer, la chambre (chambre Sal) est correcte mais salle de bain n’est pas au niveau : mini baignoire sans rideau de douche donc de l’eau partout au sol en permanence, obligé de se doucher assis pour limiter les dégats.
Grande difficulté à régler la temperature de la douche sans que soit brûlant ou glacé.
La piscine est top mais, à l’image du reste, elle mériterait un coup de neuf (liner gondolé par endroit et contour un peu vétuste mais ça reste très OK).
Maintenant attaquons-nous au plus gros inconvénient : le personnel.
Bien qu'ils sont tous de bonne volonté, il est difficile de savoir si nos demandes ont été bien comprises, prises en compte/notées. De plus il est compliqué de communiquer/trouver le personnel qui est régulièrement absent de la réception et du bar de la piscine.
Exemple : lors du check in paiement en cash éffectué mais ils n’avaient pas de change pour nous rembourser. Nous avons payé un petit extra qui devait etre régularisé sur des consommations futures (boissons à la piscine). Cependant lors du check out, le personnel n’étant pas le même, l’information n’avait pas était transmise ni notée quelques part nous avons donc du négocier au télephone pour avoir gain de cause.
Exemple 2 : A 19h30 nous sommes descendus à la réception pour demander un taxi pour le lendemain matin 7h. Personne à la reception, le responsable semblait débordé malgré le peu de clients au restaurant et nous a demandé de revenir dans 1h. En revenant un peu tardivement, il n'y avait plus personne à la réception, heureusement nous avons croisé le personnel sur le chemin proche de l’hotel qui nous a confirmé avoir bien appelé le taxi. Mais compliqué de savoir avec certitude si notre taxi allait etre présent le lendemain.
