Fodor's Expert Review Pico Terramar & Spa

You can’t miss this hotel in the southwest of Madalena, with its pointed roofs and bright red exterior; inside, the décor is still modern but more subdued, and its large-sized rooms, relaxing spa, and indoor-outdoor pool make for a comfortable stay. Guest rooms, with beige walls and light-colored furnishings with green accents, have views of the sea or Mount Pico; some rooms include small kitchenettes and balconies. Besides the indoor and outdoor pools, the spa has a sauna, steam room, and hot tub. There’s also an on-site restaurant that serves up Azorean cuisine.
