Hotels near Pico Ruivo peak, Boaventura

Everything is just great. The hotel surrounding is beautiful with stunning views, you can watch the sunrise from the balcony or just outside the hotel. Great breakfast with huge choice of food. We had a vila which was very spacious and well equipped, even with an own fireplace :) The staff was super friendly. There is also a walking path that will bring you down to the beach, which is not far, just it is little steep. Definitely recommend for families with kids - they can enjoy the pool area as well as playing room with billiard, table tennis and table football.

Amazing panorama, beautiful surroundings, excellent staff. The restaurant is also excellent.

Everything was fine and I recommend this hotel in Santana . Gr8 People!

This hotel its amazing with great value of money. I rated it as 10 because it deserves some more appreciation. Yes, the furniture its a bit old and needs to be updated but the position, big rooms, the style and the gardens are amazing. We had a lovely stay in this special location. If you search for perfection and very modern conditions its not the place for you. But if you enjoy the views and all the plants, flowers and retro vibe, then its a blessing. Breakfast was decent, the sandwiches that you can serve at the hotel bar are amazing. Good position for main atractions and the road to Pico do Arieiro.

I had a great stay at the Monte Mar Palace Hotel, the room is of high quality and very spacious. I particularly wonder how they manage to make the bed linen (embroidered with the hotel logo) so soft. I had a single room (with a view of the mountains) and I wonder how big they can get. The receptionist, Raimundo (who speaks English, French and German!), was really friendly and very helpful, giving me the walking tips I needed, which secured my next leg. Check-in went smoothly and I was immediately offered a pool towel with the recommendation to use the pools. The outdoor pool with sun loungers is beautiful with a paranomic view of the sea. The heated indoor pool with Jacuzzi is spacious. There is also a spa and a lobby area with large comfy sofas and even a mini-golf course, just infront of the pool if you fancy a go. The breakfast buffet is great - with lots of choice. As a side tip, just outside the hotel is Kare's Café, where I had a good portion of beef picado and toasted garlic bread, along with a pint of Carol! It may be a simple café but the service is amazing, the friendly young Maderian waiter speaks perfect English and was really helpful in explaining the drinks and food.

Great breakfast and beautiful location!
