Reviews of Pousada Recanto das Estrelas

Beautiful pousada with a nice pool and lush gardens. Very peaceful. the staff are really great and helped us book a boat trip and plan how to get to Lopes Mendes. We enjoyed breakfast and afternoon cake/coffee. It is quiet and a 10 minute walk from the main streets. This suited us.

We liked everything :)

Decent posada in a quiet part of the town. The greenery and the pool on the property was nice and the breakfast was very simple, but sufficient.

It’s a bit overpriced for what you get - which is the same as most posadas on the island. The pool is nice if you actually use it, although there is on morning sun. Wifi was unusable in our room (#4) and you get luke warm water at best.

Close to the town center but hidden in natural surroundings. Quaint but satisfied all our needs.

Everything was great. The main room of our apt had an air conditioner which was a little loud at night but we shut the door and turned on the bedroom air so wasn’t a major concern.

Beautiful jungle like setting Great breakfast

Bedrooms looked a little tired

the quality of care provided by the staff

Fantastic staff. Excellent breakfast. Posada is off the beaten path and just what we wanted. The pool was a bonus too.

Breakfast was complete, full of different options. The pool was great and well located. The staff were very helpful, understood everything we asked and were always available. The bed super comfortable.

The rooms were a bit small and humid, windows should have mosquito nets to prevent spiders and other bugs from entering the room. The ac was super noisy.

The breakfast was nice

Slightly old fashioned hotel, the rooms weren’t the cleanest. We booked as there was a swimming pool advertised which only opened on the last night. The reception staff kept bothering me prior to the stay to get me to book with them directly instead of going through booking.

Comfortable, very clean and neat. They offered sth to eat and drink at tea time… we loved it

Not easy to say... maybe the localisation and the breakfast just to say something positive

It is among the worth room I have ever slept in. It's old, ridiculously small and all this for a crazy price (probably inflated by the long week end). I was working in the room and no one came to ask if they could do the room or change the towels, when I went out, I have ask at what time the cleaning will be done, they told me it was too late. I have ask if at least the towels could be changed, they said "sure, no problem". When I came back, nothing was done.

it had a great garden, public spaces and the pool.

the rooms were stale, tired, in desperate need of a paint or at least a deep clean and new bedding.

Everything was perfect! Pool was clean, staff was nice, beds were comfy and breakfast was very good.

Nothing

Beautiful setting, very clean, excellent staff. Gardens are beautiful, pool serves its purpose. Breakfast was great.

Very helpful staff, beautiful place and scenery. Enjoyed breakfast watching a hummingbird every morning. Afternoon coffee and cake made it!

Aircon not the best, room was always quite warm and horrible drain smell in the bathroom.

Lovely and quiet on the edge of the jungle. Property has vintage charm. Friendly, English speaking reception staff. Easy walking distance from town. Nice pool. Delicious breakfast.

Nothing, but visitors should be aware in this wet tropical climate it’s difficult to keep the environment mould free, crisp and dry. Also that most properties on the island are low key so 4 or 5 star hotel luxury not the norm.
