Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA

8/10 Good

"Bathroom taps need to be fixed so they're working in public areas"

Hotel Talisman

10/10 Excellent

"What I liked the most was the breakfast, with a variety of everything. It was one of the best breakfasts I have seen. Also, the servers in the breakfast room were very pleasant and friendly. In addition, the room rates are reasonable. Also, the hotel is centrally located."

Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico

10/10 Excellent

"Très bien situé, le personnel Très serviable et souriant, l'hôtel Très propre, la piscine superbe, la chambre Très propre et le service aux chambres excellent. Je retournerais avec plaisir !"

Casa do Campo de São Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, clean rooms and good communication."

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is conveniently located in downtown Ponta del Gada and we had a room with a view of the harbor, which was fun. The front desk staff were really helpful, setting us up with ebikes and parking. The breakfasts were excellent, especially the cooked to order omelettes. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and it was one of our best meals. Only complaint is that the bathroom was too dark - hard to get ready when you can hardly see yourself! But this was minor and we had a great stay."

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed at the property for 7 nights. It was amazing! The hotel is beyond clean and very spacious rooms. Comfortable beds, large balcony that we enjoyed everyday. The staff were wonderful. Breakfast buffet offered many delicious choices. The hotel is in a great location. The only negative was the coffee ma Hines that regularly broke down, staff tried their best to fix, however it did crated long line ups for coffee. We really appreciated our room being available to us at 6:30 am after a long flight from Canada. Would definitely recommend this hotel!"

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast could be improved, as there is room for more variety and better options. The location is good for exploring Ponta Delgada city and its historical sites, with many attractions easily accessible. However, if you plan to explore other parts of the island, I highly recommend renting a small car,(free street parking after 8pm. The parking meter kick in 8am, so just get your parking ticket for next morning, very convenient. Overall, very nice place to stay when visiting Azores."

The Farm - Azores Boutique House

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was so darling. I really enjoyed my stay. I had a room that overlooked the pool which I really liked. The pool area was super nice, and they even have a resident cat! There is a banana farm in the back, so when I was there you could eat the fresh bananas. Breakfast was quite nice and appreciated. The staff was helpful and friendly. The parking out front on the street can be tricky, but there is a free lot a couple blocks away. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay again for sure."

Lusitano Garden Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Great buffet and a few minutes to the city or central to the highways. A stunning place!"
