Reviews and Ratings
I have to say, words cannot describe how perfect our stay was! The hotel is ideally situated right by the water, making it a breeze to explore Ponta Delgada. The rooms were not only beautifully decorated but also offered breathtaking views. The service was second to none, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable. The dining experience was a great start to each day, although it could have been more varied. Overall, our time here was exceptional, and we felt truly valued as guests.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were really nice, clean, and quite spacious, with a lovely ocean view from the balcony on the fifth floor. The bed was incredibly cosy, and having both city and bay views was a bonus. The service was top-notch, with staff always being very helpful, polite, informative, and a pleasure to interact with. The location was excellent, within walking distance to the center of town and restaurants, offering a beautiful, quiet, and relaxing atmosphere. The dining experience was good, with plenty of choices, though it could be more sophisticated for this hotel range.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with cozy beds and lovely views, though some rooms may require maintenance. The staff is friendly and helpful, creating a pleasant atmosphere for guests. The central location provides easy access to the city's attractions, but some issues with temperature control were noted. Dining options are varied and delicious, adding to the overall positive experience.
The hotel offers rooms overlooking the harbor with a super-large comfortable bed and spacious bathroom. The views are nice, but there is a slight musty smell at times. The service is excellent with friendly and helpful staff, and the location is ideal, near the town center and waterfront. The dining experience is average, with repetitive menu items, but the overall value for money is good.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy, and it was a plus to have an iron and board available. However, the views from the rooms were quite disappointing as they lacked any significant scenery or balconies. The location was superb, close to the harbor and lovely shops. The service was top-notch, with a very friendly and responsive staff. The dining experience offered incredible juices and delightful local cheese and pastries, although a bit more variety could have been nice. The facilities were great, especially the view of the marina and old town, and the convenient shuttle service was a bonus.
The hotel was in the heart of Puna Delagada, right in front of the sea, offering spacious, luxurious, and clean rooms with very large balconies and ocean views. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The location was unbeatable, with easy access to the city center and a vibrant waterfront. The dining experience was delightful with a good selection of local items while the facilities were top-notch.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a few highlights and some minor drawbacks. The rooms, though smaller by American standards, were nicely appointed with a hidden keypad-safe, a magnificent harbor view, an incredibly comfortable large bed, a generous selection of international channels on the large TV, and a spacious bathroom featuring a refreshing rain shower. It had everything I needed for my short business trip.
