I have stayed at Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico five times in the last 18 months. The staff is especially friendly and accommodating. Antonio in particular always greets you with a warm smile and an interesting fact about the island. His quick wit is a plus too! I will always stay at the Grand Hotel.

Until I moved into another hotel in Ponta Delgada, I had two minor complaints. 1) the tea at breakfast was made with tapwater rather than non-chlorinated bottle water. 2) the swimming pool was cold (this is in February their wettest month).
Now I wish I had tea that I could drink. My new bed and breakfast (so they say) has horrible tea - I tried 4 different ones, and has horrible things that they say are rolls. Wish I stayed longer at Talisman. I was cheap and tried to save a few dollars. ...

The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The rooms were beautiful and clean. The whole property was lovely. Breakfast was an assortment local cheese, fruit juices and teas. But mostly, the staff! They were the jewels in the crown.

We have travelled a lot and for many years. I do not remember ever meeting a hotel staff that was as accommodating, kind, professional, genuinely interested in solving problems than these folks were. The only thing that matches their level of customer care in our experience is the Holiday Inn Express in Saugus Mass. near Boston. Every little thing that I needed was taken care of at the Marina Atlantico including things that were by no means their responsibility. We only stayed a couple of...

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...

The staff let us have a room on arrival at 7:00 a.m., instead of waiting until check-in at 2:00 p.m.. The staff provided us with maps, good walking directions, possible tours, and even charged our cell phones on their computer. The breakfast each day was a delight, fresh pineapple and melon, delicious cheeses and baked goods. Ham and local sausage.

Absolutely LOVED this hotel. We stayed in a room that was perfect for 4 guests. Very comfortable, friendly staff, and incredible breakfast. It was so nice to have a nice balcony to sit on in the morning with coffee and evening with wine!

Excellent hotel, first the location is just a stones throw away from the city square where there are many cafes, a supermarket, not too far from the marina and the airport is less than a 10mjn drive away. The ambience, from the lobby to the spa floor, to the zen garden is all quite lovely. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The spread for breakfast was wonderful, while mainly European has some pancakes thrown in there . The amenities....pools, sauna and a Turkish bath all add to the...

It’s a beautiful home overlooking Ponta Delgada. There’s a beautiful pool in back and it’s extremely walkable as you are right in the old area all section of the city. Everything is very comfortable.

I stayed at Hotel Do Colégio for a week in early July and had a great stay. Check-in was very easy and I was able to get into my room early, which was much appreciated after my overnight flight from the US. The two women who often worked at the desk together were extremely kind and helpful. The room itself was clean and had everything I needed (I did ask for an electric kettle at the desk). I did not use the breakfast, dinner, or pool, but from what I saw of the building everything was clean and...

This is our favorite hotel on San Miguel Island, we would never consider staying anywhere else. The location is perfect, out the door to the beach, shopping and the center of it all. I must say that the included breakfast continues to amaze and I only worry about overeating. The quality of the food is excellent and there is staff to ensure all needs are met. As for the staff, hotel management is doing something right as this is by far the best staff we have come across throughout Portugal,...

The best area to stay in Relva is near the coast, particularly around the Miradouro da Lomba da Fazenda and the nearby oceanfront accommodations.
This coastal area offers direct access to scenic viewpoints and walking paths along the cliffs. It's a peaceful part of Relva, providing a sense of tranquility and connection with nature, with the sound of the ocean always present.
For couples seeking a quiet retreat, staying in this coastal section is ideal. The natural beauty and serene environment create a relaxing setting, great for enjoying sunset views over the Atlantic or leisurely strolls along the shoreline. Many accommodations here offer private balconies with ocean vistas.
Travelers looking for a convenient base to explore the western parts of São Miguel Island will also find this area suitable.
When is the best time to go to Relva?
The best time to go to Relva, Azores, is during the summer months, from June to September, when the weather is warmest and driest.
During this period, you can expect average temperatures around 22-25°C (72-77°F), making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking along the coastal trails or exploring the volcanic landscapes. The ocean temperatures are also pleasant for swimming and water sports. This time is great for couples and families looking to enjoy the natural beauty and outdoor adventures the Azores offer.
For those who prefer fewer crowds and don't mind slightly cooler temperatures, the shoulder seasons of May and October also offer good conditions. You'll find the island greener and still pleasant for exploring, though there's a higher chance of rain.
