Top São José Hotel Reviews

Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, super friendly staff and a beautiful and clean hotel, made for the perfect holiday. I will definitely come back to this hotel any chance I get!"

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel from staff to rooms to dining."

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff"

The Farm - Azores Boutique House

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this boutique hotel. Everyone went above and beyond helping us with suggestions of what to do while there. The room was clean and well laid out. The breakfast was delicious with many buffet options plus a few made to order dishes. The vibe is modern but welcoming. The pool area is nice - it was chilly while we were there so we didn’t swim, but it was a calm place to sit and relax after hiking. Love that they have a little banana ‘forest’ out back as well as a couple of rabbits and chickens. Highly recommend if you’re a traveler that likes a small boutique hotel experience."

Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA

8/10 Good

"Excellent place to stay. Very clean property with friendly staff, free wi-fi, free parking with an amazing buffet breakfast included. We truly enjoyed it."

Hotel Talisman

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Talisman is what I would call, "A hidden gem". Very nice and clean with a gorgeous roof top pool. It's located in the center of town at a pretty town square. It's also 1/2 the price of the close by large hotels. Wish we stayed here longer."

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was a beautiful property that was maintained very well. The staff were very friendly at all times, which makes your stay a lot better. The room we were in was spacious and very clean and the AC worked well. The pool area, also very nice!"

VIP Executive Azores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Firstly, I must say that the staff at the VIP Executive Azores Hotel is by far the most professional, helpful and friendly staff we've ever interacted with. The service throughout our stay was exemplary. Our deepest thanks goes to restaurant staff Hugo, Paulo, Erica and Elizaura. Enrique at the reception desk was always helpful and ready to hear about our day. The hotel is perfectly situated to the City Centre, the harbour, the pineapple plantation and the botanical gardens. The restaurant meals were fantastic, from the breakfast and dinner buffets to the sit down service provided at lunch. Our room balcony faced the ocean, and the rooftop terrace provides a view of the harbour and the landscape. Great experience!"

Hotel Gaivota Azores

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely consider this hotel! Solo traveler who liked the small 'apartment' style room I booked. One room was a kitchenette with table/tv/sofa and another was the bedroom with attached bath. I could cook or microwave food and store items in the refrigerator. The Hotel seemed relatively new or newly-renovated. Breakfast was provided and it was well staffed and offered a range of food and drink options. Nice location just a few blocks from the center of Ponta Delgada and a view of the Atlantic Ocean. I did not partake of the hotel's offered baths and pool, but many did. One downside is a tiny elevator so on occasion have to take the stairs to save time--five floors up for me--worked off a few calories."
