10/10 Exceptional! (7 reviews)
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!

8/10 Very Good! (6 reviews)
The room was great and everything the description said it would be. I only have it a 3 star rating because the walls are thin and so is the floor. I could hear everything above and below me. There were kids who thought the place belonged to them. They were up at 6am running up and down the stairs two mornings in a row. Nothing like being on vacation and woken up every morning by you neighbors. The only way to complain about the issue was through Whatsapp as there is no one from the hotel present.
