Decent place to stay
The place is a bit old yet mostly renovated. The service was good, the room was good with a nice view, and there was a good breakfast. It lacks any character to make you feel you are on this unique island.

Dated and poor service
This hotel is tired. It’s need some serious renovations. Restaurant food is mediocre. However AC stopped working on the entire side of the hotel during our stay. We went from an ocean view with a balcony view to a city view with no balcony and zero compensation. It took almost two hours for them to move us to a new room.

Property was very nice, clean, decent restaurant, front desk staff was not helpful and not friendly. We didn’t book a tour in advance. She tried a couple of people but they were booked. However, there are other options in the area including boat tours which we would have loved and she didn’t bother to look anything up for us. Not very tourist friendly.

Water damage on the walls, air conditioner does not allow you to go below 23C. Electrical fixture pulled out of wall and sitting on floor with cables exposed. Water damage on wood floors. Floors worn. Smell of mold. Visible mold in shower. Breakfast goes from 8-11 am, out of freshly sliced fruit by 9 am. Disappointed in hotel. This island is beautiful, this hotel was a disappointment. It was a beautiful location and if you have a water view amazing. It is just obvious that upkeep/update of the hotel is needed. Suggest eating at local restaurants which are wonderful.

This hotel was nice, though showing its age in places. The proximity to the natural pools and airport were great. Since the town is pretty small, you could walk to a lot of places from the hotel.

Good place to stay in Santa Cruz - more stylish and classy than the pictures show. Beautiful view (sea view-side) and quiet, except for astonishing bird calls at night (Cory's Sheerwaters). Seaview well worth it, but there are pleasant lounges and balcony to get the view as well. Food is good quality, but the half-board is so limited in starters (soup of the day) and sweets (ice-cream, fruit or sweet of the day, which did not change daily) and saves so little money (and none at all if you have many of the main courses), that it is not worth having. Breakfast has a reasonable range, but less so as it declined while we were there. The freshly squeezed orange juice, variety of fresh fruits and yoghurt all disappeared. Some days delays for food due to incredible understaffing: a single person at breakfast and at dinner some days.

The staff is wonderful and the views are amazing. The restaurant had many tasty options, fresh food with great wines and the service was friendly, patient and helpful. It was great to have the large upstairs living room available to hang out when our newly met cousins came to visit. The rooms are very comfy and the mini fridge got nice and cold and the balcony over looking the shore was my favorite place to kick back especially after dark when the cagarros start their weird calls among the sounds of the waves. My great great grandfather once owned the property and the hotel fit in very well in the surrounding landscape. The pool overlooking the seascape was a treat. My family and I will definitely be going back.

Flores Island 2 nights
We arrived the hotel at around 2:30pm, after having traveled on 3 flights from San Francisco to Flores transiting in Newark and Ponta Delgada. We were told that our room was not ready so we left our luggage in the luggage room and went out for a walk around town for almost 2 hours. We went back to the hotel shortly after 4pm and were told that our room was still not ready! We were exhausted but we didn’t get our room until after 5pm, which is an hour after the official Checkin time. The woman who checked us in earlier when we first arrived was somewhat rude and didn’t even apologize for telling us our room would be ready by 4pm when it did not. Next morning when we went to the reception desk to ask for 2 more small bottle water (there were 2 in the room when we checked in) since we were staying 2 nights, and she just told us in a cold voice that you would only get 2 small bottles upon Checkin and for the rest of the nights we would need to purchase the water from the bar. That is poor guest service, especially when we had to wait for our room past Checkin time the previous day. They gave us a handicapped room which was a bit awkward for us since the toilet is slightly higher than usual. The restaurant’s food was good but our impression of the hotel was tainted by our Checkin experience and that female receptionist until the day when we checked out. The male receptionist was a lot friendlier and helpful so that had prompted me to give an OK rather than a poor rating.
