Lovely hotel on Pico island
Lovely hotel on Pico island great breakfast included. Beds are on the firmer side and parking might be a bit of a challenge in peak times but would stay again for sure. Pool area looked great too.

The most depressing hotel we have experienced. The hotel staff was unresponsive, excluding the maids. The beds are extremely hard and like sleeping on a rock. The breakfast was simply unedidble.

The hotel is clean, rooms pretty spacious. Easy and convenient walk to ferry. We would have really enjoyed the bar being open in the afternoon, but it was closed for lunch from 13-17 (very typical for small local places). Since it’s a bigger hotel we were surprised to find it closed. We enjoyed the front desk person who agreed to drive us to and from Sao Roque even though it was a festival night.

The property itself is a little dated but the staff keep it clean. I was pleasantly surprised that the breakfast buffet had very fresh selection of fruits and hot food. For the price point, I would stay here again. The hotel also accommodates transfers around the island for a fee, but it's very convenient to set up instead of looking for a taxi.

Old, tired, smells bad and not clean
Old, tired, smells bad and not clean. Bathroom was covered in limescale, with very low water pressure. Balcony was covered in dust and spider webs, and the outdoor chairs were so dusty. Bad, cheap breakfast. Very dark hotel, like an old hospital. I Will not come back again. And certainly don't recommend it. Very expensive and you will find somewhere better for this price.

Hotel Caravales Madalena Pico Island
Our room was on the outer edge of the hotel overlooking the back of a nearby bar/ restaurant,, not a good view. The balcony only had one chair which was broken, on the seconday, a second chair arrived, also broken. As always with Portuguese people, staff friendly and helpful. Hotel looking a little tired, in need of external decoration. Breakfast Ok, 3* standard.

Mediocre Hotel in Madalena
I was not very happy with my stay at Hotel Caravelas. It is very run down looking and not like the photos on the website. The location is good but it was not worth what I paid.

Definitely not a 4 Star
We arrived to the best hotel in Madalena and found out it was the only hotel in Madalena. Check in was easy that was fine, hotel is ancient. We arrived to our room to experience that sleeping on the floor would have been better then our so called mattress which was probably as old as the hotel. There are no food options in the hotel just a simple ham and cheese sandwich which was mediocre at best. Numerous noises at all hours when someone showers, construction from outside, not peaceful at all. Stay in a B and B Instead. I do have to say however the only positive is that we could walked the wine tasting and museum from the hotel. It was close by and so was Grutas Des Torres.
