Ponta Delgada

"Room was comfortable but that’s the only positive. Arrived for self check-in within the stipulated time, and the room was not cleaned since the last guests. Customer service is difficult to reach and might be a bot (?). Said to leave immediately because the room was double booked. When I said no, they said that actually they’re just confused with another reservation and they will send a cleaner. Had to wait awhile. Overall very stressful and terrible lack of service - I can’t properly explain...

Hotel Ponta Delgada

8/10 Good

"It’s a nice hotel. Great location close to the main downtown. Great pool and jacuzzi. Unfortunately there is no mini fridge in the rooms and there’s limited storage for clothes in the rooms. They should allow you to loan a towel for the thermal hot springs. The maids and staff were great. Good breakfast options, typical European choices. All in all a nice hotel for a fair price."

Hotel Gaivota Azores

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing. Great attention to detail in the rooms, clean, modern, quiet and comfortable. Close to all the touring companies and restaurants within walking distances. The staff is amazing and friendly. I will always choose Hotel Gaivota when visiting Ponta Delgada."

Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"They can do a better job with their spa packages"

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"Sao Miguel is small enough that you can choose one accommodation centrally located and drive the whole island. Verde Mar and Spa offers ocean views overlooking a beautiful surf beach. Included breakfast is great and in house dining is convenient after a day of touring the island. Ribeira Grande is quaint without the urban cluster of P. Delgado. The 20 minute drive to the north side of the island is certainly worth it."

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel"

MS Vila Nova

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is well located within 15 minutes walk to downtown. Parking is available for additional 5 euros, however there is plenty of parking spaces in front of hotel and it's free from 19:00 till 08:00 next day. Pay at meter. Hotel includes breakfast bar, although it's exactly the same every day so it gets a bit tiring. However, it's convenient and plenty of food to fill up before your daily activities. They provide beach towel service for free, which was very welcoming and convenient. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Hotel has a pool, which we didn't use so can't comment on it. Overall we were satisfied and would recommend."

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place, with so much history. Very friendly stuff very clean location in very good location . Definitely will be back again. Breakfast are delicious as well."

Hotel Talisman

10/10 Excellent

"Bien situé, prés de tout à pied, personnel aimable et professionnel, chambre confortable, literie impeccable et mon souper (poké Açoriano) délicieux !"

Lusitano Garden Villas

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t recommend this place enough. It is a stunning property with thoughtful design, services and amenities. After months of researching different properties we went with Lusitano and every day of our trip we spoke about how glad we were that we did. Located parallel to the highway and a short drive into the heart of the city (less than 10 mins) and a 5 minute drive to a large mall with a food court and grocery store, you can get anywhere you need to quickly while also feeling like you’re in a secluded oasis upon your return to the property. The staff at this place are incredible. Kind, personable and professional. They helped us countless times- sending me Google Maps directions to specific places, making reservations on my behalf when I was facing a language barrier, speaking to my Uber driver who got lost delivering groceries, offering their available beach towels when we mentioned we were headed to the beach that afternoon, the list goes on and on. We were travelling as a large group with two rambunctious toddlers and we were never made to feel anything but welcome. The property is gorgeous with “spa vibes”, and waking up to horses was an added bonus. The included breakfast covered basic offerings and was always fresh and welcome. Beautiful modern rooms with large closets, large bathrooms. kitchenette that had a glass stove burner, microwave, fridge and basics such as plates, cutlery etc. The list goes on and on. Just book it. You won’t regret it."
