The wifi didn't work the second night of our stay, hotel staff blamed it on the fog. There is barely any cell phone reception in the hotel, so there was no way to communicate with the outside world that night. Although the jacuzzi was a great touch, the water wasn't very hot. And although the restaurant food was great, it was one of the most expensive places that we dined at on the island, and it was not worth the money spent.

The views were spectacular! The restaurant food was great. The pool and jacuzzi were nice. Loved the towel warmers in the shower and the bathrobes that came with the room. The beds were the most comfortable on the island. Loved that each room had a balcony overlooking the Valley of the Nuns.

No access to the roof for short stay visitors

Close to the beach and town with all you need.

Exceptional views. Big, clean rooms.

The gym/swim/spa facilities weren’t great and needed updating.

Amazing views and location. Nice clean rooms. Friendly staff, plenty of parking.

Great location with excellent views. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Onsite restaurant was also really good. Overall a great base for exploring the mountains. I have seen some reviews complaining about facilities - yes it's not a 5 star luxury hotel but you arent paying those prices. Would certainly stay again

The property is somewhat isolated and if using public transportation there aren’t many options after noon. Taxis and ride share is also complicated so you really need to rent a car. But this all adds to the sense of “getting away”

Very peaceful and beautiful place. Great if you really just want to get away for a while and rejuvenate. Staff was fantastic and Emídio at the desk went out of his way to make us comfortable

Thin walls, you could easily hear the noisy neighbours (and they seem to quite enjoy their bed and stay).

Fantastic view on the mountains. Nice breakfast for a remote area.

Views & location.

After staying here I found that I really didn't need to be about 20 min out in a remote location. It took a lot longer to get to places I wanted to visit. I think unless you wanted to specifically be close to the valley, then for me I would have looked for something with better proximity. From the name of the hotel I was expecting a nice spa atmosphere, but much I didn't find here. The spa weight room and pool didn't look very appealing. The hotel seemed a little outdated. Since the hotel is situated at a lookout point, there were large souvenir and tourist stores attached to the hotel with a few tour buses visiting.

The location was great if you want to be by the valley of the nuns. The views were incredible. Breakfast was fresh and tasty. Staff were very nice. Our room had a beautifully renovated bathroom.

The hotel is well maintained and our apartment had a great view from the balcony into the village

Fantastic location at the top of the nun's valley. Friendly, attentive staff. Good food and very comfy room. Would love to stay again some time.

Definitely not worth staying for dinner there. Food wasn't really nice.

Location is really impressive when you don't need to think about driving there. But we are not good with heights to be honest. Rooms are good size and reasonably clean. Nice swimming pool and jacuzzi.

We got a 2-room apartment, including a baby crib beside our bed, although we booked a simple double room. Unfortunately, the dormitory was separated from the balcony by the second room, which we kept closed as it was not heated. So we had no window in our room - which we expected when we booked. One morning, we had breakfast at 09:30 and noticed almost all the food was gone. Nobody bothered to refill. I understand that refilling might lead to food waste when most of the hotel guests have already eaten, but they could have offered us some supplements from the kitchen. We asked for some veggies, but we were told there were none. The restaurant was disappointing.

The hotel offers beautiful views of the surroundings. The staff in the restaurant was very friendly and helped compensate for the poor food quality.

Amazing breakfast with the breathtaking view. The room is nice with a balcony. Towels were changed every day during cleaning. The pool and jacuzzi are free. The sauna is acceptable for a small charge (5 euro). Also I mentioned that Icome for my bday and a bottle of champagne was waiting me in the room, it was super nice! The staff are incredible kind and profeccional!

Hotel a bit dated and lacked atmosphere. It's also remote and as we had no car, our only option was to eat at the hotel as there are no other options within reasonable walking distance in the evening . Food in the restaurant was meh, nothing special and a little too expensive for what it was. Limited plug sockets in room. We stayed 2 nights and that was enough for us to explore the area

The view! The view cannot be beaten. We had a superior room which was spacious with a big balcony/terrace. Room was spotlessly clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast OK if a little limited. Great location if you are planning on doing the walk down to nuns valley (which I would recommend)

The restaurant food was not very good but still quite expensive. There was no air conditioning or fans in the rooms and the walls were quite thin. We could hear our neighbors “celebrating” most nights.

Great views and friendly staff

Already knew the place but it was the first time staying for a night..the facilities are really good and the staff very friendly.

They had a wedding reception in the evening which was a bit loud for a while. There's not much else around in term of restaurants so you either have to drive for a while or you can eat dinner in the hotel's restaurant.

The view was great, it was just really nice to look out the windows and see the mountains close by. The hotel is in a pretty nice area with not much around which was a plus for me. Breakfast was good. The price was great for what it offered. I would definitely recommend staying here for a night or two if you want a bit more of a quiet place. Just know that there's not much to do around.
