We had a layover on Terceira Island for one night on our way to Lisbon so we stayed here and had a great experience. We landed late and Tania, at the front desk, was there to welcome us with all the information we needed, included some options on where to get a late dinner and drink some place walkable. The location was great, right across from the beach, with local restaurants, ice cream, and beautiful walks right on the strip. They even let us store our bags after checkout so we could explore more and called a taxi so we could make it to our flight on time. Great people, great spot!

This hotel was exactly what we were looking for in a 1-2 night stay. A continental breakfast was available for a small fee, they front desk staff were so kind & helpful! They held onto our luggage for a few hours, assisted us w/taxi/shuttle service & we’re overall just very generous. You’re right across from the beach too!

My mother is travelling with me she is 86 years old. They had no room for me and my wife they wanted us to go to a different hotel and leave my mom alone. She’s 86 and very sick. The reason was for her to be close to us the manager very disrespectful. only his way I told him I have to be close to my mom. She is very very sick. Me and my wife had the ocean front view reserved. He did not give it to us. He gave me a room at the back very dirty, and did not give us back the difference of money of the ocean front of you. He was rude very inconsiderate will never put my feet there or family there again very very disappointed.

This property is located across from the beach and within walking distance to shops and food. Great continental breakfast was offered. It’s a quick drive to and from the airport. This is the place to stay if you’re visiting this area

Was thankful to secure a last-minute booking at this hotel when our flight to Boston was cancelled. The location was beautiful. The room was spacious, the beds comfortable, and they were even able to accommodate our need for three people in one room.The free breakfast was tasty. The desk workers were unfailingly helpful and patient, even when slammed with bookings from others from our cancelled flight.

Generally good. Although available parking is stated, only because we arrived late and left early we could park in the street next to the hotel. Otherwise parking is available at the other member hotels a little away from this one. Got view to a side street while the front looks to the sea..
