Barlavento hotel rooms a the Pestana Group

"Loved the direct ocean front room! Beautiful views and you see the sunrise and sunset in your room(winter time). Friendly staff. Enjoyed breakfast fully. Restaurant opens relatively late by US standard but we enjoyed the sandwiches even just from the bar."

"The hotel provided an excellent experience, boasting a prime location and commendable service. The rooms were impeccably maintained. However, the hotel restaurant presented a significant challenge. Despite booking a day in advance for our group of four families, the dining experience was subpar. We encountered a 1.5-hour wait for our food, which was ultimately disappointing in both quality and portion size. Furthermore, the restaurant's policy of offering only one serving of certain menu items per evening, such as the Wellington steak, meant that if a dish was ordered by an earlier guest, it became unavailable for subsequent patrons throughout the night. Other than this everything was excellent."

"It was a great stay. The staff is very friendly and professional, breakfast is first class (and they were very accommodating my wife's dietary restrictions) Dinner at Aladin Grill was one to remember. We enjoyed the walks and hikes, yes we needed a car to go to some places, but was everything within one hour of driving."

"Amazing team, awesome service!"

"Stayed in the one bedroom apartment very well appointed for a long-term. Stay excellent breakfast. Restaurant was closed for dinner, so can't comment on that only complaint would be. Spa needs to be open later at night."

"Great staff, clean rooms, excellent facilities and amenities."

"A great stay. Three floors up, no lift was ok. (Carpet was not vacuumed properly as there were shards of glass on it.)"
