    Pros +

    • Good value for the money and localisation is perfect
    • Good location. Directly across the street from the ferry terminal from Horta. Decent room and good breakfast.
    • Breakfast and location (2 minutes walk from the ferry+great parking place) are very good

    Cons -

    • Breakfast was a little bit industrial. No fresh fruits just can
    • The hotel in total is not well maintained and not very clean. Air condition didn't work properly in one of the rooms (we had 3) and some other staff (as the bathroom stopper didn't fully stop and the stream of water was weak).
    • A bit uncomfortable pillows

    Very good breakfast, big swimming pool with sunchair, access to gym. Close to dive shops, ferry, car rentals and restaurants. Clean rooms.

    9LuísPosted on: 4-12-2025

    Good location, near the port where you can travel for other islands. The breakfast is very good, served in a sizable room.The room was clean, has a minibar and a coffee machine. The mattress was a bit too hard, but not a problem.Parking is available in hotel (from the Port side) and we always had a place to park.We've appreciated very much the fruit bowl which was waiting for us in the room and the small chocolates left - it was a very pleasant treat :)

    We've read some reviews before but the hotel exceeded the expectations. No smells, sound proof is good enough and it works.Shower drain was a bit clogged, but not that big of a deal.

    I was only on Pico for 3 days but the hotel was great and centrally located. Breakfast was good.

    7NinaPosted on: 3-15-2025

    I appreciated the breakfast buffet choices each morning.

    It was not a busy time of year and the hotel was virtually empty. It would have been nice to have a view that did not look into the parking lot and other side of the hotel.

    8LinhPosted on: 3-5-2025

    It was in a convenient location

    The strong scented deodorizer smell. We had to leave the window open for quite sometime and our room was cold

    4PrbdiasPosted on: 11-17-2024

    The location and late check-in

    There was a shower leak and walls with mold

    5RichardPosted on: 10-18-2024

    Situation was perfect as arrived by ferry and hotel was just a short walk away.

    Thought it was expensive. Room was equipped with a coffee pod machine but there was only enough for one day. We asked for more and was told we would have to pay for them. This is supposed to be a four star hotel, goodness only knows how they qualify for four stars. They did not even serve dinner in the restaurant.

    8JenniferPosted on: 10-10-2024

    Located near Ferry Terminal and close to some Cafe's. Nice breakfast. Bathroom size good. Shower above bath.

    8ArminPosted on: 10-6-2024

    Well located in front of the harbor. Amazing breakfast choice!

    The view of the room was just into the inner yard. That was a potty.

    8AlessandraPosted on: 8-19-2024

    Hotel Caravelas has a great position in the centre of Madalena (Pico) nearby the harbor. It is clean, breakfast is nice and the staff is nice too.

    It should be renovated.

    7StephenPosted on: 5-28-2024

    Walking distance to restuarants

    Hotel a little "tired" . Expensive relative to Horta

    4SamPosted on: 11-7-2023

    Good location

    Very old fashioned, bad smell in the corridors and rooms, AC locked to cool, uncomfortable beds. No idea how it was ever an 8.3 score, as they advertise in the reception. It feels like it hasn’t been updated at all during the 21st century.

    6VanessaPosted on: 11-1-2023

    Stayed just one night because of an early flight the next day.

    The bed was not comfortable.

    5SinéadPosted on: 10-16-2023

    Location, friendly staff.

    Requested an early check in. No communication back. When I eventually was able to check in the room I entered had not been cleaned. Breakfast was unsanitary with rotting fruit and fruit flies. Very dated decor. Beds hard as rocks.

    9JoãoPosted on: 10-7-2023

    Very clean and tidy. The location is perfect, just next to the pier and the center of Madalena. The breakfast was great: a wide variety of products with great quality.

    8EditaPosted on: 10-4-2023

    Very well located, clean and a big room, lovely little balcony with a view to the ocean and Faial island, comfortable bed, coffee machine in the room, good breakfast.
