“We were totally impressed!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2009
2
people found this review helpful

My husband & I stayed for 3 days, and enjoyed the comfy room with a king size bed, and we had requested a full size. The bathroom was a generous size, the tub was deep enough for two. The back view from the veranda was breathtaking, you can see the ocean, of course the island is small but with all the hills still had a great view of the sea. The breakfast buffet wasn't too bad, the coffee tasted great. Because it was a belated honeymoon, we got champagne with 2 glasses, what more could we want?? Overall, we were happy about the whole experience, and the staff were friendly.

“Not bad”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2008

Not a bad Hotel to stay in. Staff were polite, the rooms are good for a 4 star Hotel, however, this hotel had the Jacuzzi, Gym still unable due some construction work under going at that time. The breakfast was not a 4 star hotel.
This hotel is a little far from the main Village called "Vila do Porto", so I sugest you rent a car.

  • Liked — The bed, it was a Queen size bed, and I love it!
  • Disliked — The windows when we got out of the rooms were dirty with outside dust. It needed to be cleaned a little more times, not just once a week if so.

“Worst service ever...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2007

people found this review helpful

Hotel 5, now called Hotel Colombo,has the most unhelpful,unattentive and rude staff that I have seen in any Hotel !!! I have travelled extensively around Europe ( you can see that in my profile)and this was the worst Hotel where I stay in...
Horrible building far away from the town centre of Vila do Porto( you need a car to reach everything!!)...poor breakfast (horrible orange juice)...bathroom without amenities(only liquid soap)...noise in the corridors at night...
What a shame that a beautiful island like Santa Maria has so litlle Hotel`s choice...
It is the first time that I rated an Hotel with one but believe me Hotel 5/Colombo deserve it...
