I cannot wait to come back. I will stay here over and over again. The staff was wonderful and attentive. Super easy to get in main Ponta Degada. Though on the main road, it was super quiet at night. I loved hearing the church bells, the ocean, and birds! The view was spot on. I love the Azores!

'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.'
