“The hotel was nice although lacking a dinner restaurant. The pool was in need of a new liner as you could feel it lift up many inches from bottom as you walked. Terrible ant problem that we notified staff about but problem persisted. Ants were covering everything within a few hours of setting things down. Needed to keep luggage and backpacks closed, food up on shelf and still had ants got in the food. Daily cleaning was thorough but needed to spray for ants to rectify the issue but for some……
“Nice hotel in good location right across from a large sandy beach. Basic breakfast buffet and limited amenities on site. Staff was pleasant and helpful!”
“The entire staff was amazing. The room was perfect for two of us! Everything we needed was within walking distance. The breakfast was good. The property was clean and well-kept! I will definitely return to this property!”
“Property was purchased by another hotel vendor who also owns Praia Marina Hotel. Upon arrival at Varandas, there is no one there at the reception. You have to walk over to Praia Marina to speak to them, then come back wait for someone to come over to check you in. If you are an elderly person or handicap this is a huge problem. Then on the evening prior to leaving, we went over to Praia Marina because no one was at Varandas, so that we could set up for a taxi to pick us up the following……
“We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage met all our expectations. Very clean, good equipped kitchen, luxury bathroom, comfortable beds. Situated in county side, very private plot, not far from Pria da Vitória. We will definitely recommend it to our friends.”
“This is the BEST hotel I’ve ever stayed at in Terceira and I’ve been visiting family there for 50+ years. The views are astounding, the salt water pool is clean and relaxing, the fellow guests are interesting and kind, and the staff are incredible. Diana and Tomas made us feel so welcome and were so helpful while we were there. The mattress and bathroom were so comfy and modern we felt comfortable and happy to spend nights in at times. We can’t recommend this inn enough. Oh and it’s quiet! No……
“Rooms are comfortable and stuffed with needful things like fridge and television. The bathroom is a bit tiny and the bath/shower itself is vintage but usable.
The personal especially at the reception desk is very helpful and friendly.
Going to the breakfast, it is split in two stations - left is the fruit and cereal corner and right is the rest like intercontinental breakfast. The food is very fresh and breakfast time is as normal.
The location of this nice hotel is perfect, you can walk all……
“As many reviews have stated, the hotel is dated and definitely beyond its prime. The location is nice and close to Angra, the breakfast buffet is okay, the pool is nice for families (not ideal for a couple or romantic getaway), and the views are great. The hotel needs upgrades and quite literally has a "if you need repairs, call this number" in the bathroom, yikes. Our room smelled of smoke everyday from the nextdoor neighbors and it radiated through the vents. The hallway and stairwell is……
“Very nice hotel with convenient location and plenty of free parking. Breakfast was very good with a lot of choices. We were very happy with the service at the hotel.”
“The shuttle service was awesome- I threw up the whole way back to the airport from the hotel and the driver stopped multiple times for me to get water and puke ❤️”
