Hotéis perto de Farol de Dona Amélia, Sao Pedro

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days (22-28 June) as part of our island hopping holiday. First the good points - location is excellent in the centre of town and just 5 mins walk to the port and beach areas. Room was fine (would recommend one looking over the square). Food and drink (and service) in the bar was good. Nice swimming pool. Bad points - no complementary water in room which seems to be normal in other CV hotels we stayed. Breakfast poor, food uncovered and empty food trays not refilled. The worst issue was the poor service from some reception staff. We asked for an additional pillow (at 10pm) to be told ‘No! laundry room closed’ and the phone was abruptly put down. On another occasion (during the afternoon) we asked if we could exchange some money and was told simply ‘No!’ When we asked why she said she didn’t have the ‘cash box’. While maybe this was correct she didn’t offer any other suggestions or say when the ‘cash box’ would be open. Then again she abruptly put the phone down. Not all reception staff were poor though, some offered a friendly greeting we passed. One lady (she may have been a supervisor) was very helpful exchanged money and offered advice. Unfortunately it is only the unfriendly ones that you tend to remember!

Great team. Great rooms. The owner really went above and beyond helping us get settled in and plan our next trips to neighbouring islands. Recommended.
