Pestana Bahia Praia, Nature & Beach Resort

I booked a four-night stay about a month before my trip. However, due to the exceptional circumstances in the region and the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, many international flights were cancelled, making it impossible for us to travel. I contacted the hotel several times more than two weeks before the check-in date to request a refund, but unfortunately the request was refused without consideration of these force majeure circumstances. It is worth noting that many hotels in Portugal and Spain showed flexibility and understanding under these exceptional circumstances, while unfortunately I did not experience the same level of cooperation here.

Welcoming and helpful staff, comfy beds, beautiful grounds and views and so much peace and quiet! We stayed in early April and the weather was beautiful but unpredictable (as usual in the Azores) and our room stayed a comfortable temperature the entire time without using the thermostat. The only change I'd make is more variety at breakfast and more opportunity to try the Azorean beef at dinner!
