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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hôtel très confortable et les quelques longueurs de piscine nous on fait beaucoup de bien après une journée de trail. Faisable sans voiture si, par exemple, vous partez le lendemain : comptez 15 minutes à pieds pour vous rendre en ville, 10 minutes max pour être dans l’aéroport.

Bel hotel au haut d"une falaise avec piscine et chambre vue sur mer.
Bon petit déjeuner.
Bon restaurant pour y dîner.
Le bon point pratique : hotel accessible à pied depuis l'aéroport (5 min) et pour autant pas du tout gêné par le bruit.
Point faible : faut compter 20 minutes à pied pour rejoindre le centre ville où l'on peut retrouver des restaurants.

Oceanview
Vriendelijke ontvangst, mooie kamer mer oceanview (absolute aanrader) met zicht op Corvo. Heerlijk ontbijt, verse jus d’orange, eitje, vers fruit, yoghurt. Aanrader is ook wel om diner (half board) te boeken. Na terugkeer van hike is t ook heerlijk om even een duik in t zwembad te nemen, ligbedden aanwezig. Ook twee piscinas naturais in directe nabijheid. Kortom, een heerlijk verblijf in dit hotel, aanrader!
