"Friendly and helpful staff"

Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is very helpful and professional. Rooms are top notch. Onlg negative is the price."

Hotel Talisman

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Talisman is what I would call, "A hidden gem". Very nice and clean with a gorgeous roof top pool. It's located in the center of town at a pretty town square. It's also 1/2 the price of the close by large hotels. Wish we stayed here longer."

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

"This hotel was a beautiful property that was maintained very well. The staff were very friendly at all times, which makes your stay a lot better. The room we were in was spacious and very clean and the AC worked well. The pool area, also very nice!"

VIP Executive Azores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Firstly, I must say that the staff at the VIP Executive Azores Hotel is by far the most professional, helpful and friendly staff we've ever interacted with. The service throughout our stay was exemplary. Our deepest thanks goes to restaurant staff Hugo, Paulo, Erica and Elizaura. Enrique at the reception desk was always helpful and ready to hear about our day. The hotel is perfectly situated to the City Centre, the harbour, the pineapple plantation and the botanical gardens. The restaurant meals were fantastic, from the breakfast and dinner buffets to the sit down service provided at lunch. Our room balcony faced the ocean, and the rooftop terrace provides a view of the harbour and the landscape. Great experience!"

Hotel Gaivota Azores

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely consider this hotel! Solo traveler who liked the small 'apartment' style room I booked. One room was a kitchenette with table/tv/sofa and another was the bedroom with attached bath. I could cook or microwave food and store items in the refrigerator. The Hotel seemed relatively new or newly-renovated. Breakfast was provided and it was well staffed and offered a range of food and drink options. Nice location just a few blocks from the center of Ponta Delgada and a view of the Atlantic Ocean. I did not partake of the hotel's offered baths and pool, but many did. One downside is a tiny elevator so on occasion have to take the stairs to save time--five floors up for me--worked off a few calories."

Sensi Azores Nature and SPA

10/10 Excellent

"High end but casual. Understated elegance. Stunning surroundings and an extremely spacious room with a beautiful view. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Lovely and helpful staff."

Vila Gale Collection S. Miguel Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property right by the water/boardwalk, close to the airport. Rooms were spacious and clean, staff was very helpful and friendly. Walking distance to lots of restaurants. Property was very well maintained, breakfast buffets was great too. Would highly recommend staying here if visiting the island."

Octant Ponta Delgada

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was such a surprise! We had an unexpected layover in the Azores, and booked this hotel at the last minute. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with cold towels (it was summer) and were amazed by the beautiful property. We were also also mindblown by the handwritten welcome card and the fruit basket. The staff was very courteous and helpful. We could not believe that such a first class breakfast was included in our stay. Chefs that are ready to take your order, buffets of protein, fruits, cheeses, pastries and so much more. This stay was absolutely incredible!"
