Pestana Bahia Praia Nature & Beach Resort

Phillipe greeted us with warmth and kindness. Breakfast buffet was good and well maintained, supper buffet was often less maintained and rarely had food in all the food warmers and generally lacked dessert options other that gelatin like items. It was nice to have live music, pool table to meet with our friends after supper and a day of exploring the island. Rooms were clean however, the carpet is old, tired and some stains. Because of the humidity from the ocean and climate the room would smell musty when returning until the air conditioner had been on for a while again. The room does not maintain air conditioning when you leave as your room key needs to be inserted to have any power to the room. Lighting for getting ready is minimal so if you like to do your makeup bring your own light.

Great hotel!

Staff on the desk were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful location and views. Room could do with updating as there were many stains on the carpet and charging 8euros to have a kettle in the room seems odd along with a charge for water. Breakfast and dinner was handy for us but it seemed hit and miss with quality.

The location of this beautiful hotel is right by the easily accessible soft sand beach. Can't ask for better in the Acores! We love it here and come back regularly.
