Atlantis Breeze
Atlantis Breeze"Wir haben eine super Wohnung mit atemberaubender Aussicht auf das Meer vorgefunden. Die Wohnung verfügt über alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man in einer Ferienwohnung erwarten würde, inkl. funktionierende Klimaanlage. Etwas Abzug machen wir bei den Haushaltsgeräten, welche Wartung benötigen. Die Waschmaschine wurde während dem Aufenthalt ersetzt, aber der Dampfabzug und die Abwaschmaschine funktionieren zwar, aber benötigen eine Wartung."

Top Pico Island Hotel Reviews
Pico TERRAMAR & SPA
"Situated a 10 minute walk from Madalena, this hotel is peaceful and tranquil. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable, and we were allowed to check out at the later time of 1.30pm without incurring extra costs (€50 thereafter). We couldn’t book a public taxi through the hotel for the airport run, so used their transfer service (€22 for a 20 minute journey). Good breakfasts and restaurant looked nice, but we chose to eat in local restaurants."
Hotel Caravelas
"The hotel was well located close to everything. The room was a big ions but the bed was confortable and quiet. When we entered our room the first day the fridge was not working but they changed our room. The breakfast buffet was included. The first 4 mornings it was good with all you need but the last day it was awfull, no yogourt, many things were missing so it left us with a mixed feeling. So this is why our review is not better."
Hotel do Canal
"Restaurant staff and food was amazing Quiet Hotel and Marco at the Front Desk was excellent Would stay here again"
Internacional Azores Boutique
"Hello, 4 nights and days in Horta, we came here to scuba dive and hike. We were very happy with the hotel, good rooms, good breakfastm perfect location etc. Regards, peeter"
Azoris Faial Garden
"A very nice hotel in a great location. Close to the port, however be prepared for a steep climb or a 15 min walk around. The staff were awesome and very helpful. The breakfast buffet was good. The dinner buffet was also good, but make a reservation. The pool area and bar/restaurant were excellent. Joao was very nice and courteous.The cons are the beds..... Extremely hard and firm... A/c in the rooms is not good either.Not enjoyable. We were a multigenerational family of 6. Seniors to teenagers."
