The draw backs were that the mattress was very hard. The breakfast was a little lacking, not much variety and the coffee was cold most mornings.

The location was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. Very clean room and surroundings. It was also nice to have a refrigerator.

The “gentleman’s club” next door was very noisy. The hotel did provide earplugs which we did use.

Location and room were both excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The hotel advertises there's a shuttle from the airport to the hotel. We arrived from Ponta Delgada and looked for the shuttle or a phone to call the hotel. There was neither. We took a taxi to the hotel (cost 9 euro) and asked about the shuttle. We were told that they would call us a taxi! So there was no shuttle! One of the reasons we chose this hotel. Also, we wanted to rent a car for 3 days and the hotel said it could help us. We were directed to their other hotel just up the street. The desk clerk gave us the pamphlet for Angus car rental (the only one he had), it said a car would cost us 35 euro a day. My partner called them from the hotel desk and was told it was 65 euro a day! They refused to honor their pamphlet, which was for the time period we were there. No other options, so we had to pay for a taxi again (8 euros), to go to the airport to rent a car from another company. We rented it for the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and had to return it Friday morning. So that meant another taxi (6.50 euro) back to the hotel after we dropped the car off. We usually book our car rentals in advance before leaving Canada, we were sorry we decided not to do that this time. We didnt because we wanted to get to Terceira and decide what days were best, based on our schedule. Lastly, we chose a room that described it looking onto a courtyard. Well the courtyard looked onto a tree which we believe was fake, and was surrounded by stairs and hallways. There was no outside view. Pigeons could get into the area, so a recording of an Owl was continually played to scare them away. Just don't rent one of these rooms, if you want outside access.

Breakfast was above average and the facilities to eat there were wonderful and so convenient from where our room was located. The staff continually made sure there was plenty to choose from. It was so nice to not have to go out for breakfast.

Room was a little small but overall was nice. Parking was difficult to find.

Got a great breakfast just down the street at a discount. Just off the beach area.

no one to greet us upon arrival, had to go down the street to checkin at their sister hotel lobby, (short distance but it was bad weather) their restaurant was closed so had to go down the street to their sister hotel for breakfast - not sure if this was temporary or not - but checking in should be at the same hotel.

We did not stay at the hotel we booked and had to carry our 6 suitcases to the other hotel 100 meters away. I put a DO NOT DISTURB notice on door and the staff still came in our room which contained valuables, very disturbing.

Good room, location, breakfast, desk staff. Nice hotel at a good location and price.

Nothing was poor in the hotel, I only regret that I came off-season and most tourist activities were closed.

I had a better room, as I stayed in Hotel Praia Marina instead of Varanda do Atlantico. Very good breakfast, comfortable room.

We stayed for one night off season (before Christmas) and were upgraded to the upper class hotel nearby for free! It was a very nice surprise, the hotel and its staff were excellent.

Room was a bit smaller than optimum. Bath had a tub that was a bit of a challenge to get into for older people. A walk in shower would have been preferred. Staff was slow to make up room for 2nd night.

Location, room was clean and cool (air conditioning worked well).

The room a/c only worked if the key was activated and only one room key was provided. In addition our room safe wasn’t working. We were told to put our items in my parents room which thankfully we had this option.

Breakfast was ok but a bit limited and rather dry. The yoghurts were mostly fruit flavoured and on the second day I could not find a plain one.
