Hotel Pontao

Second time we have stayed at this hotel in the last 6 months. Breakfasts are good, friendly staff and very clean. With Santa Maria you are alway out in the sun. and this hotel is in a good location for the beach, restaurants and the town. Would not recommend the all inclusive hotels as you miss out so much in this beautful town

The hotel was comfortable and clean and the air conditioning was controlable and worked well. The pool area was clean smart although small. But the resorts main beach was only a five minute walk away. There were plenty of cafes and restaurants close by. All of the booking arrangements and taxi transfers ran on time and according to plan. Considering the cost l am a satisfied customer.

Stayed there for 1 week. Frigde was broken; phone was not working; each time needed something had to go to the ground floor by stairs- there was no lifth and i was on second floor.there was a flood in my bathroon; hotel very noisy;;i complained several times nothing was done.they totally ignored me- they have no notion of customer service.

A really good value hotel close to the centre of Santa Maria. The rooms are a good size with a clean and functionable en suite. The pool area is relaxing and quiet and breakfast is good. I would reccommend asking for a room with a balcony overlooking the pool as there is a lot of building work near the hotel, so not much to look at and a bit of noise. If you plan to dive or windsurf/ kitesurf and just need somewhere to sleep then this is a great budget hotel.

Excellent value for money. The hotel is in the center of Santa Maria. It's clean, the staff is friendly, but they don't speak English very well and won't help you much in calling a cab. Breakfasts are fine, not a great choice, but enough to get you started. Toiletries are very basic, it's better to bring your own. But the rooms are very clean and have A/C. The swimming pool area is nice, with palm and babana trees planted around. They've even broight some sand there. Overall I'd recommend staying in this hotel.

Nice confortable hotel in the Center of Santa Maria
