Hotel Morabeza

Had a great holiday at Morabeza. Beautiful, attractive hotel. Nice Junior Suite with large bathroom. Spacious, well kept garden. Bordering the beach and the town of Santa Maria, everything within walking distance. Not to mention: fantastic, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

This is a very good hotel. But not as good as it should be. Many details were never explained to me when I checked in. For example: there was supposed to be a welcome drink/meeting the following morning, this was not mentioned to me. I found out days later and it would have been very helpful to me if I had known about it. As a result, several things were a mystery to me: The restaurants - I showed up at the downstairs restaurant for their buffet dinner on Saturday evening. I was told all the tables were reserved and there was no table for me. Someone else had earlier told me that reservations were not required, so I just showed up. This also happened two days later. I also wondered about towels - I had a green towel but I noticed most people had blue towels. As a result I was afraid to use the main pool and bar area because I didn't see any green towels. I went to ask about it and was told the green towel was actually a higher class and I could go anywhere. Who knew? Certainly I was never told and felt banished to the distant 600 block pool area. So...many, many strange details and lack of communications.. Perhaps a language barrier? Great hotel, not so great management I would say. Several waiting staff were also less than friendly or helpful. This hotel does the have the best location on the beach. The town area is somewhat sketchy, especially at night. Many aggressive sellers of all commodities.

Close to bars and restaurants so plenty of places to eat either at the hotel or in the town.

Hotel is located close to shopping area. Hotel does not have an iron for guests

Our stay was excellent. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. Housekeeping and cleanliness of the room was very good. The gardens are beautifully kept. The area around the pool was spotless. The location is fabulous, close to town and right on the beach. The hotel is quietly luxurious, elegant and very charming. It’s gorgeously relaxing - no loud music or pool activities - but you can learn a few words of Creole, how to play Uril and Petanque, and there is live local music in the bar a few nights per week. Guest services can help with anything and everything.

Very relaxing, beautiful beach in an ideal position, staff were excellent and hotel is 2 minutes from a good selection of restaurants as well.

Lovely hotel, staff very helpful. Ideally situated.

Great access to town and dive shop. Quaint hotel if a little dated now. Nice pools never felt crowded.

Hotel is a little dated, air con and electric fan were noisy, bathroom did not have an extractor, bath robes in the list of facilities didn't appear despite a request. Hotel is in an excellent location with lots of space and is peaceful and quiet.
