I had a 15-hour layover in Ponta Delgado, and decided to book this hotel to rest before taking off the same day. I had booked for one day from my arrival at 6 a.m. until the next day. But my check-out had to be at 7 p.m. on the same day I would check in. Basically, I would use the room for a few hours. Upon my arrival, the young guy at the reception was not accommodating at all. He said that the check-in was at 2 p.m., meaning I had to wait almost 6 hours to check in to then check out at 7 p.m. I was disappointed since it seemed to me that he didn't care at all. Then I asked if I could have breakfast that was included. He said that it was their protocol that the guest must sleep over night in order to have the breakfast included. I didn't really understand his reason, since I was leaving the same day anyway without being able to have breakfast the next day. I decided to wait until he was gone. It was a good decision. When the crew changed, there was an incredible lady who helped me to have breakfast, and she managed to check me in much earlier. This is service that you would expect from the hospitality industry. She was great and went beyond what she might have needed to. A big thanks to her. I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Nice room and facilities, and great breakfast. The dinner buffet was ok, but only because the options were not necessarily my taste. I could see that other guests were enjoying their meals.
I would definitely consider going back to this place.
