Well I think I may have found the perfect hotel!! The room, food, decor, location, atmosphere, all spot on! but what really made this place great was the staff, all so kind and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble and everything done with a smile. We are a charity and couldn't have achieved our mission on Santa Maria without the help of the amazing Sophia, an absolute credit to Charming Blue, thank you so much from all the team and crew at The Maiden Factor. I can't wait to come back!!

Very nice rooms, and the pool and pool deck are very comfortable Staff was nice, especially the front desk gentleman who helped me get a local rental car for a much better rate then the airport.

The hotel is ideally located in Vila do Porto main street, making it very easy to go out for dinner and go explore the island. The staff is very friendly, and helpful - great stay!!!

Location was very central to accessing restaurants in town and for distance from airport. Did not have to walk far from hotel to access hiking routes along the coast and inland. Hotel staff were very friendly welcoming and helpful with tourist advice for the island and organising transfer taxis to and from airport. Hotel provided bikes for tours and the pool area was neat and clean non crowded and peaceful. Breakfast was plentiful choice each morning.

The pool was always clean and lovely to swim in. Our view through the two dormer sliding door patios to the hills was beautiful. Our front desk concierge José Santos spent much time with us answering any and all of our questions, sharing advice on maps that were provided to us, and was overall the kindest, sweetest, most articulate and helpful employee on the property. He made our stay as wonderful as it was!

Nice staff. Nice breakfast buffet although I would have liked a larger selection of food. Clean pool.

We loved the style of the hotel! The staff was really sweet and everyone was so friendly! (they even brought up some breakfast, because we had to leave pretty early in the morning the next day!) Especially Jose was a great guy, very helpful and lovely to talk to! When in Santa Maria, we totally recommend to stay at the Charming Blue!
