Top São José Hotel Reviews

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely baby friendly, good location, amazing staff."

Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico

10/10 Excellent

"I absolutely love everything about this hotel. This is my second time coming here and when I return to Sao Miguel, this will be home. The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of Ponta Delgada. There is valet parking available. The staff is very friendly, helpful and courteous. The hotel is magnificently beautiful and luxurious with its gold detail. The room is spotless as usual. They’ve done renovations and the pool is heated and there is 2 saunas stations which we absolutely adored. The breakfast is always immaculate. Thank you Grand Acores Atlântico for the memories. I can’t wait to be back already!"

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"This by far was the most beautiful 5 star Hotel l have visited!! There was nothing not to like about my visit at the wonderful hotel!!! The staff was amazing, the amenities were great, the Food was extremely good and there was not a bad experience to be had!! The room, OMG!! The view was incredible!!"

Hotel Gaivota Azores

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was in a great location, right across from the Marina. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. The rooms were spacious and clean. Hotel staff was very helpful and friendly and made out stay easier. If you have a car, street parking is very difficult to find. However, there is underground parking across the street which is convenient. Ask the hotel for a pass. We had a great stay and had time to enjoy the wellness centre. Highly recommend this hotel."

Lusitano Garden Villas

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t recommend this place enough. It is a stunning property with thoughtful design, services and amenities. After months of researching different properties we went with Lusitano and every day of our trip we spoke about how glad we were that we did. Located parallel to the highway and a short drive into the heart of the city (less than 10 mins) and a 5 minute drive to a large mall with a food court and grocery store, you can get anywhere you need to quickly while also feeling like you’re in a secluded oasis upon your return to the property. The staff at this place are incredible. Kind, personable and professional. They helped us countless times- sending me Google Maps directions to specific places, making reservations on my behalf when I was facing a language barrier, speaking to my Uber driver who got lost delivering groceries, offering their available beach towels when we mentioned we were headed to the beach that afternoon, the list goes on and on. We were travelling as a large group with two rambunctious toddlers and we were never made to feel anything but welcome. The property is gorgeous with “spa vibes”, and waking up to horses was an added bonus. The included breakfast covered basic offerings and was always fresh and welcome. Beautiful modern rooms with large closets, large bathrooms. kitchenette that had a glass stove burner, microwave, fridge and basics such as plates, cutlery etc. The list goes on and on. Just book it. You won’t regret it."

VIP Executive Azores Hotel

8/10 Good

"L'endroit est bien situé."

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

8/10 Good

"Better manicuring of the property surrounding primarily the area between the hotel and beach would have made a significant difference. And add better air conditioning in dining area."

Hotel Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"I Love this Hotel only thing I miss is not having at least a small refrigerator that’s all"

Sao Miguel Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and front desk staff were helpful. My biggest complaint is breakfast. It didn't matter what time you got down there, there was never a clean table, replenishing food was very slow and only small amounts were brought out at a time. I think my biggest issue was that I would find hair (that was the same color) from the young girls working on some of the tops of where things like plates of cheese were. Although the young girls had their hair tied back they would be swinging their hair around. They should have hair nets on. Although, it seemed like there was quite a bit of staff around...there was a lot of chit chatting with guests and amongst each other."
