Santa Maria Island Vacation Packages

This hotel is the largest on the island by far and seems out of scale with the rest of the island architecture. The building is a little dated and in need of some repairs and a facelift, but overall it met our needs for our stay. There are huge floor to ceiling windows/doors in the rooms that open to a balcony overlooking the farmland below the hotel and ocean beyond. The sun makes the rooms really hot in the afternoon (and we were visiting in the winter!) so it is nice to be able to open the doors and get a cool sea breeze. We were traveling with a small child so the downside to opening the doors was the balcony has large openings under the railing (almost a foot of open space) and we had to be super vigilant that the child didn't get close to the edge. There is an outdoor pool and a jacuzzi in the gym adjacent to the hotel. Use of the jacuzzi is included for hotel guests and the gym can be used for a small daily fee.
