SEM AR CONDICIONADO NOS QUARTOS. MAU PARA DORMIR.

Com uma excelente localização com vista para as Ilhas do Pico, Faial, bem como para as Velas de São Jorge, poderia ser um magnífico local. Mas não é, de modo algum. A qualidade do sono é dos aspetos mais importantes para o bem-estar e a saúde, pelo que espera sempre quartos agradáveis. Ora os quartos com grandes vidraças expostas ao intenso sol, bem como sujeitos à elevada humidade da ilha, tornam-se extremamente desagradáveis à noite. Na publicidade refere que os apartamentos têm ar condicionado. É verdade que a sala tinha, mas não é com um aparelho que o resto das divisões fica climatizadas! Resultado: Três noites a dormir com má qualidade... e não só eu que me ressenti, porque o mesmo aconteceu com a minha esposa e as duas filhas. Como se não bastasse, na terceira noite os hospedes do apartamento ao lado decidiram ficar à fresca até 0h30, em barulhenta cavaqueira. Não utilizei a piscina exterior porque apesar da água estar límpida e com dois skimers a funcionar, não me apercebi de robot de limpeza ou ralo de fundo. Certo é que o fundo da piscina não estava limpo. Como falava em translado para o aeroporto e nós chegámos pelo porto vindos da Ilha do Pico (só tinha automóvel no dia seguinte), telefonámos a perguntar se faz o transporte. Não, não tive direito a essa atenção. Durante a noite não há para onde ligar (pelo menos foi o que

Fabulous time at Cantinho das Buganvillias

Fantastic stay. Everything perfect with the hotel. Good quality food in the restaurant. You need a car or to take taxis to get to anything.The owner Max was very friendly and helpful.Great views and lovely pool with beautiful view of the sea and mount Pico on the neighbouring island.

Wonderful complex for perfect relaxation!

Let's start with the people. Max, the manager at Cantinho das Buganvillias, has been more than accommodating to our group of 12 from picking us up at the ferry late at night to taking us on a full day sightseeing tour the next day. He was super fast at responding and he spoke fluent English too, satisfied all our needs. Our group rented 3 large and clean 2 bedrooms apartments with basic kitchen ware and cooking stove (2 deluxe and 1 superior deluxe upstairs unit) -- all had lovely views. It's got 1 bathroom but has both shower and tub separately so 2 people can shower at the same time if needed! Pretty awesome to wake up to the sound of waves and birds. If you are lucky you may hear the funny sound that cagarro birds make at night! Fantastic view overlooking Velas and you could also see the tip of Mount Pico from the complex. Outdoor pool was a bit small and located at the back of the apartments but the indoor pool and jacuzzi were pretty nice open 8am-8pm. There is also a yoga room too. What a cute place, wish we got to stay there more than 1 night! Next time!

Large apartment style suite with mediocre amenities. Beds are very hard. Beautiful view of Velas and Pico island from our patio space. Nice indoor pool and gym. Apartment was infested with ants. Breakfast buffet was limited but satisfactory.

Great sunset views

This is an apartment hotel sitting on a bluff overlooking Velasquez. It is a taxi ride to anything else. The restaurant had closed for season. Wonderful sunset view made up for it. My room had 2 bedrooms, barg, livivg/dinning room and pantry kitchen, fully supplied. Would be great for longer stay. Staff seemed more frazzled than curtious.

Perfect location, high-quality furnishings

The best stay in our recent 3-island trip in the Azores. Beautiful views over Velas (the main town on the island) and the neighbouring islands of Pico and Faial. We almost felt bad about leaving the accommodation to go explore the island. A nice surprise was the quality of dinner served in the restaurant affiliated to the villas. The waiter was also friendly and encouraging us to discover the tasty food and drinks.

Great hotel with great ocean views

This hotel is in a great location, between the airport and the town of Velas. The property is well kept and the apartments all have beautiful ocean views. The apartment itself was spacious with a living area, kitchenette, big bathroom and large bedroom. The linens and towels were above average. Everything was clean, neat, and orderly. The breakfast buffet was well worth 5€. In our apartment the bed was two small beds pushed together, bit our preference but ok for one night. The staff was very accommodating to our flexible schedule and we were very happy (ecstatic) with our stay.

Excellent facility.

We had just spent 4 days in Sao Miguel at a homestay house rental that was more than twice the price of this very clean and functional apartment and nowhere near as nice. The rental house had old, cheap bedding, no maid service and was absolutely freezing. We also ended our Azores vacation in Ponta Delgado at a 5 star hotel that was very good. I would recommend travellers stay at this location in Sao Jorge as opposed to renting a home. Way better experience and value!
