First time, definitely not the last
Reviewed By Jp MIt was our first trip to The Azores (Sao Miguel specifically). We came upon this location on a travel site (Travel Zoo, sorry Trip Advisor, hehe). The destination appeared to us as relatively inexpensive trip, a direct flight to the island from near our home (United Airlines from Newark, N.J.), currently Covid and politically "safe", and simply somewhere we've never been. We traveled May 27-June 5. First thing to know is the weather is ever changing there, even in the course of a day. We went from rain, to sun, to cool , to 75 degrees regularly. Our advice is to pack smartly for how you deal with these changing conditions. A good weather app on your phone to monitor the conditions will be helpful before you travel. The entire staff was helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. From the front desk staff, to the manager/concierge(s), to the restaurant servers, to housekeeping, each person we encountered was friendly and helpful. At times there is some language issues, but not enough to matter. Remember "Obligado" or "Obligad"..this is thank you in Portuguese and the Azorian dialect respectively. It will get you far..hehe We saw soooo many beautiful parts of this island. Amazing shorelines, mountains, volcanoes, hot springs, botanical gardens, hiking areas etc. I would say this is not a "beach" destination as many might think. We had tours with (2) separate companies and they were both perfect to enjoy the the must see points on the island. Being first timers, we need this. Our tour day 1 was with Sammy of Green Corner Tours (greencornertours.com). His knowledge of the island history and must see points made for a great day. Lunch and drinks were included for approximately $70 pp. Our tour day 2 was a full day Jeep tour with Riccardo of Greenzone Azores Tours. A true local (born and raised), Riccardo was the best!! The others in our group were also U.S. rookies like us so it was a great day. Look Greenzone up here on TripAdvisor. Lunch and drinks were included for approximately $70 pp. We also did a walking food/history tour of Ponta Delgado with Hungry Whales Cultural and Food Tours. This was also great to see this historical city at approximately $75 pp. Be aware of the current exchange rate of dollars to Euros. Most told us the people are not expecting to being tipped, but certainly appreciate it. The language spoken there is Portuguese, but most people we encountered spoke English, no worries. DEFINITELY WILL RETURN!!

Lovely hotel and all you need in one location
Reviewed By rufusredStayed for a week with my sister in November 2021. First, may I say that all the waiting staff in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner as well as in the bar during our stay were very pleasant and amicable. We ate frequently in the restaurant during our stay and we were happy with the choice of food, how it was cooked and the members of staff that served our table. We also ate in the bar and had similar pleasant experience and enjoyed the cocktail happy hour :) We also had the opportunity to use the wellness center. We were very pleased with our Swedish massage and the hot stone massage and the therapists were very nice and pleasant as well as professional. I used the wellness center (pool, jacuzzi and Turkish baths) and again can report that these were very clean. The gardens were well maintained and all in all it was a very pleasant experience and up to our expectations. The hotel is clean, modern and very centrally located.

Would defo stay again
Reviewed By TravellingBob_8This Hotel is ideally placed - with a easy stroll to the centre or harbour. I stayed here with my adult son on a whale watching holiday. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment which gave us plenty of space and a room each to sleep in. There is a pleasant indoor pool which you need to book as well as an outdoor pool. The staff were fantastic- something we have found everywhere we’ve been in Ponto Delgada. There are a number of restaurants close by. We had bed and breakfast - breakfast is varied and plentiful. Overall prices are reasonable and on a par with local cafes and restaurants. The whole area is beautiful with friendly and helpful locals.

Lovely hotel
Reviewed By panda34peWe stayed at this hotel for a week when on a whale watching holiday with Archipelago Choice. Very helpful staff. Reception staff were fluent in English and all the other staff knew enough to get by. Well appointed and clean room. If you want tea making equipment ask at the reception. Ideally sited as a short walk from the harbour, museums and botanical gardens. Good choice at breakfast. The restaurant specialises in east Asian food so limited choice from our point of view. great if your a lover of sushi. No problem as there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in the harbour area and the town squares.

Perfect hotel for our first visit to the Azores!
Reviewed By calvinjr2Front desk personnel were helpful and spoke English. Location was nice; Hotel was in the city and was about a 15 minute walk from the amazing restaurants and downtown. Rooms were very clean but definitely needed some modern updates. Would definitely recommend a room with a balcony! Perfect hotel for our first visit to the Azores!
