Excellent stay. Rooms were spacious and clean. Staff was friendly. We went off season so the pool and whale watching were not an option due to the weather. You must have a car to tour the island....book one early as there is a shortage on the island. Scenery is spectacular.

This was a lovely property with great views. If you want night life or more food options close by, don't stay here. After being in the area a couple of days, we regretted not staying in the city since we had to drive everywhere to do anything. No dig on this property, it was

Dear CMNQuinn, Thanks for your evaluation and description. Let just add some considerations. Being in this island, means that, to cover all the immense number os interesting spots, you must have a car. It's mandatory...as simple as that... Of course, we're not in the middle of the city, but at just 15 minutes away from it, by a very peaceful and safe road. So, being here, allows you to rest and enjoy the nature. And then, if you miss some party, well, pick up the car you've rented anyway and give yourself a quick & easy ride to Ponrta Delgada! :) I do hope to welcome you again in the near future in this amazing place...

This hotel is just perfect to visit São Miguel Island. Right in the center, close to everything, huge rooms and great breakfast including local food. Parking is small, but not a problem when you go out of season.

Dear Acklin T, Answering your concerns: we're located just 20 minutes from the airport and from Ponta Delgada, the islands main town. We're in the centre of this island, by the sea and close to the main attractions, Classifying a hotel that you reach by a highway (free of charge) at just 20 minutes (or less) as remote is incorrect. We're at just 3,5 Km from one of the main towns, Vila Franca do Campo, with a huge supermarket, bars and restaurants. Just for aditional info, it doesn't matter where you're staying you'll always need a car to get to know this island! There's a lot to be seen :)! Thank you and regards. Jorge Xavier - GM

what is closest airport?
hi there is only one airport on this the largest Azores island ( smaller airports on some of the other islands). Its about 0 minutes from the airport to the Pestana - surprisingly good roads and next to no traffic jams on this very quiet picturesque island. No nightlife near to the hotel ( very limited & about 10 miles away). Prebooked transfers are available & a good idea Enjoy the peace and quiet - we did!
