My husband & I stayed for 3 days, and enjoyed the comfy room with a king size bed, and we had requested a full size. The bathroom was a generous size, the tub was deep enough for two.

Not a bad Hotel to stay in. Staff were polite, the rooms are good for a 4 star Hotel, however, this hotel had the Jacuzzi, Gym still unable due some construction work under going at that time. The breakfast was not a 4 star hotel. This hotel is a little far from the main Village called "Vila do Porto", so... More

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel 5 and in Santa Maria. The hotel manager was wonderful. She really went out of her way to help. We had an early flight out of Santa Maria and left our jackets hanging in the closet. She went out of her way to find us in San Miguel and sent our clothes to... More

Of course it's still under construction, but it just didnt fit the flavor of this lovely island. I felt so sorry for the housekeeping staff as they attempting to keep the black stone foyer floor clean. Food was mediocre, beds were... More
