9.6/10 Exceptional! (112 reviews)

The room was clean and accommodating for our family of 5. The hotel was very responsive with questions I had on whatsapp. Our room did smell of water damage but other than that it was a great stay and we absolutely loved the basket full of goodies that was delivered at our door in the morning for breakfast!

'I had read that Ponta Delgada’s gardens are absolutely charming, but my expectations were still exceeded. Close to its closing time, we found our way to Jardim António Borges, studied its impressive plant collection, climbed its interesting structures, and fully unwound.'
