Top São José Hotel Reviews

Hotel Gaivota Azores

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Gaivota in Ponta Delgada. My room was spacious, bright and very quiet, which made it a perfect place to relax after a day exploring São Miguel. The kitchenette had everything I needed for a short stay. The breakfasts were exceptional, with a great choice and everything fresh and well presented. The room was always kept very clean, and all the hotel staff were polite, friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The location is also excellent, right on the seafront and within easy walking distance of the centre of Ponta Delgada. I felt very comfortable here and would happily stay again. Highly recommended!"

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property right by the water/boardwalk, close to the airport. Rooms were spacious and clean, staff was very helpful and friendly. Walking distance to lots of restaurants. Property was very well maintained, breakfast buffets was great too. Would highly recommend staying here if visiting the island."

Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA

8/10 Good

"beautiful, remote location. Service not up to par for a 5 star classification."

Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico

8/10 Good

"Great location everything about the stay was good with the exception we had to ask for towels a few times plus we started with a 3 piece set of towels the 1st couple days after that we got 2 pieces plus had to ask for it"

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was such a surprise! We had an unexpected layover in the Azores, and booked this hotel at the last minute. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with cold towels (it was summer) and were amazed by the beautiful property. We were also also mindblown by the handwritten welcome card and the fruit basket. The staff was very courteous and helpful. We could not believe that such a first class breakfast was included in our stay. Chefs that are ready to take your order, buffets of protein, fruits, cheeses, pastries and so much more. This stay was absolutely incredible!"

Hotel Talisman

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was fantastic and the rooftop pool is the highlight! Some of the hotel is dated but they keep it very clean! There is some minor road and street noise, so if you're a light sleeper you may want to keep that in mind, but I would return here again! Overall, excellent value and the location is perfect."

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 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."

NINE DOTS Azorean Art Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel stay was perfect. It’s located in the heart of the city, has beautiful rooms, a stunning swimming pool, and helpful staff. Highly recommend."
