"Nine Dots is a wonderful hotel! Well situated, easy to walk to attractions and restaurants, very close to the waterfront. The staff were outstanding, very helpful and welcoming, and gave us good restaurant recommendations. Housekeeping staff came around in the evenings to ensure our needs were met.

Hotel Marina Atlântico

10/10 Excellent
"This is my favorite hotel to stay at when visiting Ponta Delgada. The location is perfect, as not only does it have an ocean/port view, but it is walkable to restaurants, shops, and historical sites. The staff are friendly and professional; and they speak English, which is helpful. The air-conditioned rooms are clean and spacious. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, and other amenities. You don't have to go far to eat breakfast, as it is located in the dining room on the main floor with a view of the port/ocean. There is a wide selection of fresh food and beverages, and it all tastes good. There is parking on site for a nominal fee, which allows you to go in and out as often as you would like, or just keep your car in the garage while you walk around the city. Thank you to the staff for making my stay in Ponta Delgada comfortable."

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.
