"The place is beautiful, in a great location, private and secluded, with nice amenities such as hot tubs, pool, wood BBQ. It looks just like the pictures and overall, we enjoyed our stay. But, - very limited hot water. Takes long to warm up and then only lasts 5 minutes. Not enough for 2 showers. We could only fill the amazing bath up a few inches before it got cold, so kind of useless. - lots of ants, and when we complained, we were told to deal with it ourselves - there was a birds nest...

Top Fort of Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel do Canal

8/10 Good

"Nicely located, convenient with underground parking. The breakfast buffet was a nice and complementary pastries and water bottle in the room. Inside of hotel and room, it was a bit outdated, but still comfortable for 2 nights. Awesome shower pressure! Nice view on Pico Island from their terrace. Overall, I’d go back."

House @ Porto Pim Beach - Supreme location on the most beautiful beach Azores

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place and view! Patricia was great at communicating, she even was able to accommodate us earlier, and we had the opportunity to leave our luggage in a safe space prior to our later flight. Thank you for having us."

Casa Tres Picos in Porto Pim, Horta

10/10 Excellent

"This place was beautiful! There was so much room and was beautifully decorated. Philpi was such a great host and despite having a family she was prompt to answer any questions we had. The location was perfect for walking to the city center, with several restaurants along the way. I highly recommend staying here. Everything was perfect."

The Book Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Every single staff member was warm and welcoming. The hotel is well-maintained and the room was very clean. The Japanese toilet in the room was a nice amenity, and toiletries were also available on the bathroom counter. The bed was comfortable and I like the different lighting options you can use. The pool was my favorite feature of the hotel. It's on the roof where you can also access the spa. The pool and hot tub are connected so you can easily switch from one to the other. It's a small, shallow pool, so there is no diving and not much room to swim - all you can pretty much do is just float in the pool, which is really all you need. The hotel is a block away from a park/garden and a couple of blocks away from the marina. Everything is walkable. The front desk staff were very helpful. They gave me great suggestions for restaurants, shopping, and even helped me reserve a taxi tour of the island. I will definitely be staying here again."

Azoris Faial Garden

10/10 Excellent

"everything works, staff helpful and polite. Excellent views, short walk to marina area, pool excellent."

Casa da Baía

10/10 Excellent

GARDEN VIEW APARTMENT

"we loved this flat! It is in the very centre of Horta, close to the port, a few meters from the promenade, but it was completely silent at night. A lot of rooms and space, well equipped, a lovely little terrace with a view on Pico . Definitely recommended !"

Lofts Azul Pastel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious and had a lovely ocean view. Property was clean and fresh. Convenient location. Would recommend! Staff was helpful and responsive through email with the check in process as I had arrived early before the room was ready."

Nereida

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy apartment under the roof with an outstanding view on the marina and Pica island, very convenient location in the heart of the city. Everything that you need (including washer) in the apartment. The host provided with helpful recommendations and ordered taxi for us from the airport. We’ll be definitely coming back."
