Enotel Golf Santo da Serra

Strangest hotel I ever stayed in. Let be clear, the hotel looks great, the rooms are spacious and well maintained. General quiet; but here the positive stops. Many odd things such as: There is a kettle in the room, but no coffee or tea amenities. 2 story building, no elevator. Pillows we're to soft to our liking; there are no harder once. They have a great outdoors, balcony for the breakfast, and pattion for relaxing. But eating breakfast outside is not an option, and in the pattio there are just a few seats, and no bar service or anything. The Gym which they mention at checking holds 2 items and nothing else, one threadmill and a bench. The pool, sauna and turkish steam bath are great; but the whole ambiance feels something out of the cold war. The breakfast is basic with very limited options. Instant coffee and juices. Very large space with no ambiance. Breakfast starts at 07:30 with no options for any To-Go if your flight leaves early. So no reccomandation from us on this strange place.

Although, we only spent a couple of days in Santo da Serra, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the hotel- it was very peaceful, very tidy and the staff were very welcoming. Lovely breakfast too. We initially got lost on our first night, as our flight arrived late. However, the hotel is located close to park, super-market, and a Farmers' market (on Sundays). A car could be handy. However, the hotel quite close to the airport.

Having stayed all over the island, this location is great for exploring the warmer and calmer eastern side. The rooms are spacious and clean but didn't have the fridge that was on the 'included' list. One was supplied on request. Meals were very good and everything was freshly prepared. Ample car parking and the wi-fi worked fine in the communal areas. As in other places on the island, the beds were a bit on the hard side. Staff were great, very helpful and cheerful. Nice indoor swimming pool too.
