Pedras do Mar Resort & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property! So serene. The breakfast was fine, but our dinners at the restaurant were amazing! I would love to return one day."

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons bien aimé cet hôtel. Le déjeuner est vraiment super, avec beaucoup de choix. La terrasse sur le toit est très jolie et les chambres très bien, avec leur petit balcon donnant sur le port. Chaque soir, un employé passe par notre chambre pour voir si on a besoin de quelque chose. Vraiment très attentionné ! Eau et jus laissés à la chambre chaque jour: très pratique."

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel well situated. Super comfy beds. Decor is amazing. Very clean. Parking included! Full breakfast buffet was very appreciated."

Casa do Campo de São Francisco

10/10 Excellent

"I was told that a couple hundred years ago this used to be a church. The renovation has maintained some of that atmosphere in the entry area and you can still see vestiges of alter area and balconies overlooking it.. The place has been beautifully renovated. Though the bedroom is a bit small there is a bathroom and large walk in glassed shower shower with substantial waterflow. The upstairs area has lovely seating and a breakfast area. The breakfast is well presented and good. There is a small park area across from the hotel. Good value for the price and helpful staff."

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!"

Azores Youth Hostels - São Miguel

10/10 Excellent

"Only 11 minutes walk to downtown Ponta Delgada. It was amazing for single travelers or couples. It was clean the staff. It was amazing parking lot right in front of the building for free right next to a great coffee shop."

MS Vila Nova

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is well located within 15 minutes walk to downtown. Parking is available for additional 5 euros, however there is plenty of parking spaces in front of hotel and it's free from 19:00 till 08:00 next day. Pay at meter. Hotel includes breakfast bar, although it's exactly the same every day so it gets a bit tiring. However, it's convenient and plenty of food to fill up before your daily activities. They provide beach towel service for free, which was very welcoming and convenient. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Hotel has a pool, which we didn't use so can't comment on it. Overall we were satisfied and would recommend."
