question - the hotel does not discuss private boat tranfers? anyone know anything about that in the area?

agree, but even though i plan to travel to fogo "last minute" (when i do) i am not going to go during lowest season when weather is worst, because of logistics involved for fogo (and places like fogo island) - i plan to avoid ferry

fogo has really put together some great details
http://www.archive.org is my favorite "website"

added this edit to clarify one of my earlier compilations >
"i figured out what rooms are where by looking at plans"
(possible with their floorplan for entire hotel, not just rooms)

also, my posts are compilations. of rooms, environment, etc. hotel site actually includes MANY different things, with only a few details for each individual thing. so no emphasis on anything other than local, but that applies to everything. actually specifically re environment, note there are only 2 pretty short quotes. and only 1 from website, other 1 is from presskits/brochures. and the other 2 quotes are not from the hotel site. and 1 of those is 3rd party. also >

big thanks again to ridefar for all the details (not discussed elsewhere - plus service/food/rooms/excursions)
