Pousada Zé Maria

This is the place to stay if you are looking for understanded comfort. The vibe is wonderful and the staff are perfectly attentive and helpful without being intrusive. They make all sorts of requests happen. Any challenges (a previous guest did not check out in time in my case), were handled very well. I do suggest that the swimming pool is cleaned a bit better, but it was otherwise as lovely as the rest of the property. I wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to slow their pace and enjoy this spectacular island. Thank you, Pousada Ze Maria

This hotel is a bit rustic, but overall it’s a nice place to stay. One big plus is the gym — not many hotels on the island have one — so that was great to have. There’s also a decent pool and an on-site restaurant, which made things convenient. The staff is very friendly and genuinely tries to be helpful. Every day around 5 p.m., they offer a complimentary tea time with tea, coffee, and small island treats, which is a really thoughtful touch. The breakfast buffet has a good variety of options, and we enjoyed it. There was one small issue during our stay: when I asked for extra shampoo and more cups, there seemed to be a language barrier and the items never arrived, which was a bit frustrating. Aside from that, we had a nice stay and a good overall experience.

The best option in the island.
