Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The location of the hotel, facing the sea and surrounded by gardens, grass and palm trees, is very attractive.
Impeccably clean and airy facilities.
Extremely friendly staff available to help and make suggestions.
Breakfast of quality and variety rarely found in 4 and 5 ***** hotels
Comfortable, quiet and good room with excellent sea view.
It deserves to at least go up to level 4***
I highly recommend

This hotel is beautiful. The rooms are clean, the entire staff friendly and willing to help in any way. Was not disappointed about just about everything, although sometimes the parking was a problem, but did not really influence the trip. You have never had an "included breakfast" such as you will receive at this hotel. The choices were too many to count and were as delicious as they looked. Freshly baked pastries didn't hurt either. Wish they had a restaurant also in the hotel because if the food would be anything like the breakfasts, it would be hard to not love it. The swimming pool on the hotel grounds and the swimming pools in the ocean in front of the hotel made for some wonderful exploration. All rooms have an ocean view although some more of one than others, but just request an ocean view room and you won't be disappointed. I can't say enough about the awesome time we had while there. The views we had of Pico were so picturesque and changing every minute.

Sometimes you have to change your hotel room because the shower doesn’t work or the drain smell is appalling. None of that here – just a disappearing minibar dilemma. Once you have unpacked and are about to go explore town you just check on the minibar ….. and find there isn’t one in the available slot ! Now in underdeveloped coutries this usually means the developers planned for minibars in the rooms but then couldn’t afford to actually buy them …. I guess here it was just a maintenance issue. So the dilemma: Is it worth repacking everything and changing rooms just to be able to cool a bottle or two of beer a night? We decided not to bother.

800 meters from the ferry terminal, 300 meters from a large supermarket, 100 meters from a lava arch , good views …. Great swimming in the sea a five minute walk from the hotel. Nice breakfast, no supper. We liked. Reserve supper in town in advance otherwise your choice will be severely limited.

One of very few hotels on Sao Jorge. The location sells it - being perched on a cliff above the sea overlooking Pico. Nice garden and pool area. All rooms have a sea view. Extensive breakfast selection. We had a large room which was comfortable all at a reasonable rate. The only slight negative would be that the hotel is looking a
Little tired and dated in part but this does not detract from its overall charm. Clean and good service. Would recommend and would certainly return.

There's not much choice in Velas or even in the whole island and this hotel is most probably one of the best choices. I was here 25 years ago and came back now in 2023 and it's still an excellent choice. The garden with the swimming pool and the amazing views to Pico is fabulous. Rooms are in good shape and are spacious. The breakfast was one of the best in Azores, varied and complete. The room price is a bit expensive but the ratio quality-price is still interesting. I hope I don't need to wait another 25 years to come back again...

Great hotel with helpful staff. Possibilities to rent a bike. Fantastic views of the Pico mountain and a nice outdoor area. Breakfast fell very in taste with large and varied selection. The location was optimal with close location to the ferry.

We stayed in 4 hotels in the Azores and this was the one we liked best.
Location, view, service, breakfast, rooms, everything was impeccable.
A few meters to the left is the corner of laziness with beautiful natural pools and the same happens when we go down to the right, there are many options besides the great pool with sea water.
The view from the pool garden is the highlight, sofas and chairs overlooking the cliff, the best place to read and have a drink is impossible.
We also stayed at another chain hotel in Pico which is 4 stars (this one is 3) but it doesn't even compare, this one is much more pleasant, it just doesn't have a gym or night restaurant but the center with restaurants and bars is right there, it wasn't necessary some.
We were just unlucky that the elevator was out of order, I hope the problem is resolved soon.
Counting the days until I return, I recommend it.

This is a low rise hotel with views over the sea towards Pico.
Rooms and bathroom spotlessly clean. Pleasant swimming pool with loungers and other seating in the garden.
Good breakfast, plenty of choice. Evening meals are not available but it is a short walk into the town where there are several restaurants to choose from.
Good promenade walk. Also able to walk from hotel to summit of Morro Grande, passing the chapel.

Absolutely recommended: the view outside is worth a few tens of euros more per day!
If you pass by Velas don't hesitate!
Cleanliness and top location, availability and, as mentioned, breathtaking view: the sunset over the sea is 5 stars!

Stayed here as part of a group tour. It’s situated a little way up a hill ( about a ten minute walk) out of the centre of the village, and has lovely gardens and swimming pool.
Reasonably spacious rooms , I think ours had recently been refurbished, and had a nice marbled bathroom, comfortable beds and good aircon. There is no evening restaurant but the breakfast buffet is extensive and I particularly liked the muesli. Those who complained about a lack of electric sockets should have checked behind the bedside tables- our room had 2 each side…
