The lowrise building, simplicity, gentle and genuinely helpful staff and service was appealing. The hotel was peaceful, quiet rooms and lovely hammock areas, yoga in the garden, top floor small gym, reading and relaxing spaces and a short walk across the road to the beautiful beach and a 15 min walk into the centre of Santa Maria along the beach boardwalk. Lovely time.

Lovely six night stay. The staff were lovely and incredibly helpful. The part of the beach near the hotel was beautiful. The hotel also offer yoga classes as part of your stay.

Clean, stylish room ( we had a junior suite), lively gardens around pool- full credit to cleaners gardeners and the staff we met. It’s not in the beach ( 3 min short walk ) on a road but not noisy and hid from view with cleaver design touches. The problem is in some policies. Charging for water in the room is outrageous. It’s not complimentary coffee when you have to spend £2.50 to put water in the machine. Straight off a flight, with no water and paying for it - no shops nearby at all, is really poor. A hotel at this price should have complimentary room water, every day.

Clean, well-kept hotel with large pool, garden and beach area (across the street). This hotel is a nice place to relax compared to louder mega hotels in the resort. Breakfast was lovely and varied. However, two suggestions from me: Please provide free bottled water daily in the room and more fresh juice options at breakfast. I would definitely stay here again and look forward to doing so.

It's small, a family run feel, which we like the low key, personal, quiet experience. Paula at reception and all other staff are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. That makes it easy and comfortable. Our room was ideal, good space in a double room, private balcony and beautiful colours of Bourganvillea to admire, a well maintain green garden space and pool in the centre. We had breakfast in the hotel every day, however we were away by day and dined out across the island. Very simple, easy walk down into Santa Maria or across the road to the beach and beach board walk.

The room was OK, evening dinners were ok and the hotel is well located - 5min walk to a lovely beach, 15mins walk to town centre, restaurants etc. Breakfast was poor - limited choice, poor quality, constantly running out of glasses, cups, cutlery. Coffee and juice machines repeatedly out of order. No GF offering. In a word chaotic. Lift was often not working properly, with door only partially opening. Most of the staff were friendly and reasonably helpful though some were fairly indifferent if not rude in their service. Overall, very poor value for money hotel in my opinion

This is an aging hotel that would benefit from some modernization and updates. It is located a fair walk from the town or any stores, and there is currently a massive construction project across the street (that will be underway for what looks like quite a long time) that is blocking any access to the beach (and creating noise pollution). The buffet breakfast is decent, the pool is nice and sheltered, and the staff was kind. The limited access to wifi, which is only available in the restaurant and lobby, and requires frequent 1-hour vouchers to use, is an insult given the cost of the hotel.

The staff were lovely and friendly and helpful. The location is presently peaceful but the Hilton is being built opposite and is between it and the beach. Development of further hotels is everywhere, so it will be very different in 10 years. Near enough to town to walk in for supper in various restaurants. Not a lot to do on Sal bar water sports but beach and sea are great! We took bus to Espargos and then taxi to old salt works, which was interesting. Breakfast fine with lots of choice and fresh fruit.

It is modern and small 4* hotel, not overcrowded, so you can enjoy privacy. Has a nice swimming pool. Close to the beach and Santa Maria village. Restaurant is good (quality of food), comparing even with ‘famous’ hotel ‘Morabeza’. We have visited all 5*-4* hotels in the Island and were satisfied with the choice. If you expect luxury, then Sal is not a right destination at all. It is more oriented for low budget travels.

Nous avons trouvé cet hébergement en dépannage suite à une erreur de réservation sur un autre établissement. Nous avons été très satisfait par la gentillesse et la qualité du personnel . Mais déçus par certains points qui ne sont correspondent pas au standing affiché et au prix : la salle de bain avec une baignoire et déco d'un autre age . Nous étions obligé de fermer le vasistas de la salle de bain pour ne pas entendre le ronflement de la ventilation des cuisines situées juste sous la chambre . Il fallait souscrire un abonnement payant pour avoir les chaines nationales françaises à la TV. Dernier point négatif sont les délais d'attente des plats au restaurant ( 1 heure en moyenne de délai entre le choix des plats et le service ) Points positifs : la qualité, la gentillesse et le professionnalisme de tout le personnel avec lequel nous avons été en contact . La qualité des plats servis au restaurant . En bref un bon séjour
