Top Santa Maria Beach Hotel Reviews

Royal Horizon Beijo Mansão - Ponta Sino

8/10 Good

"The hotel looks exactly like the pictures, nice and modern. It was a pleasant stay, as it is a new hotel there’s still a few teething issues such as the WiFI and TV not always working, but the staff are prompt to resolve. The room was exactly what I wanted which is always a bonus. Side note there are no tall palms trees, so there is very little shade by the pools sadly. Food was okay too."

Villa Ao Mar

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely accommodation right off the beach. Staff are lovely and welcoming. Communication was great and the driver that was arranged to drop us off back to the airport came much earlier than expected and scheduled-which was great!. The property had lots of different cups(wine glasses, tumblers and mugs) and different pots and pans. The property was also located really close to the Santa Maria strip and was close to different restaurants and supermarkets. They also had a pipe to wash the sand off your feet after coming off the beach into the property-which was great!. Staff cleaned the communal areas of the property regularly, keeping the space nice and clean at all times. The property had a home-like feel and was very cosy. The house keeper always checked in :)"
