Popular Ponta Delgada 4-star Hotels

A conference hotel in winter, everything is up to Five Star hotels standards all over the world. However i was stucked in the elevator for 3 minutes and didn't why the door kept closed.

Whilst the hotel was very modern it seemed to lack basics such as a kettle in the room (there is a nespresso machine but for any tea drinkers out there they will know that making tea through a coffee machine is far from ideal) and being able to retrieve an iron. Instead you are expected to put items in for laundry when all we wanted to do was run an iron over a shirt for the evening. Pool area is stunning however has the most uncomfortable loungers you could ever find. They look great but the max stay to bathe is less than an hour before your entire body goes numb. It seems that this stunning hotel is trying to be a little above its star rating and failing on these few points at just trying that bit too hard for the clientele staying. Rooms were very clean although signs of some wear and tear are already starting to show. Location is EXCELLENT and staff helpful, polite and welcoming. Not sure if we would stay again as we are real sun worshipers and really struggled to enjoy the pool area here.

I can imagine this hotel was once the height of sophistication! It’s old fashioned but beautiful and great value for Ponta Delgada. Great location however parking tricky (we found a spot nearby but the app wouldn’t download to pay for it so had to find change for machine, by which time got a fine - only 6 euros but needed paying by cash too!). There are quite a few drunk people hanging around in the park right outside- this is quite common in Sao Miguel. We had a family suite which was huge & very comfy with a bath. There were a few power cuts. The swimming pool is the best feature with gorgeous views. Breakfast is pretty good.

This hotel needs to do better with the service quality (or lack of) that they provide. At the front desk, as an example, the receptionist got annoyed because we asked for a receipt when we checked out. The welcoming wasn't friendly either, including not wanting to recommend a place to have dinner. The rooms don't have lotion. To iron your clothes, you must go to a house keeping room, because they don't allow irons in the room. The breakfast stuff rarely cleans the plate out of your table, even tho it's a buffet. The hotel is clean, and it has great location.

Very good hotel to stay, either for a getaway or for a longer stay. Provide a pleasant experience. Very good facilities, nice decor, good cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff. Spacious rooms and comfortable bed. Spa area, pool, jacuzzi etc is nice. Breakfast is good and varied and the dinner buffet is great, with lots of options and tasty food.

I would grade this more as a European 3* but it still offered good value considering it's location and standard of accommodation. We had to move rooms after a few days as our original room (502) faced some outlets that omitted a nasty smell of an evening which meant we could not sit out on the balcony - reception staff speak great English and thankfully managed to swap to new room. The pools (indoor and outdoor), steam room and sauna were great but jacuzzi needs servicing as only a couple of jets actually work and was very murky. Spa treatments very reasonable and very good. (Read a review saying you need to bring your own towels to use pools - this is not true, you can obtain pool towels from reception for EUR10 deposit.) Didn't use restaurant but bar staff were great and food was good (chips are crisps, not fries though!) Kitchenette is exactly that, two hobs, combi microwave and kettle - cooking a family meal for 5 was a challenge but doable with a camping style outlook! All in all a great budget friendly base for exploring the island or taking boat trips and being able to semi self cater.

We went to Ponta Delgada for 5 days to surprise our parents on their 80th and decided to stay at Hotel Gaivota. Best decision we made. The staff were all super professional, helpful, and went the extra mile for my sister and I. Booking a breakfast for my parents to enjoy with us was no problem and we were happy to pay the extra fee. The rooms were clean, neat and more than enough for the two of us. We were aware of the parking restrictions and opted to park underneath for the night. It was actually very reasonable up to 08:00 in the morning. The hotel is in a great location and within walking distance to everything. We loved our stay, so a special thank you to all the staff and a special thank you to Sonia who put up with our questions about restaurants, florists, best places to visit etc. We are most grateful to have had the opportunity to stay at Hotel Gaivota and will definitely be back for their yummy breakfast.

A Difficult stay and an even more Negative ending! It is with sadness that the management of Hotel do Colegio, due to them not fulfilling an agreement we made on the 26th October and the hotel owner and Team Leader of the reservations depar**ent not replying to five emails I sent to try and rectify the matter, have left me with no option but to leave this review. Before booking a two-night stay at this hotel we on several occasions checked that hey would be able to offer breakfast and dinner for someone who was coeliac, i.e., unable to eat gluten. We also checked that they were also able to offer us a room with two beds rather than one with a double bed. They assured us, in at least three emails, that offering a gluten free breakfast and dinner would be know problem and that they would inform the kitchen so everything would be in place when we went down to breakfast. They also said that a room with two beds had been reserved, so again no problem there. As not being able to eat anything with gluten is an illness I two days before we were due to arrive again reminded them about this and again was told that the kitchen had been informed and that it was not a problem. I also reminded them that we had booked a room with two beds. Due to the positive response, we chose Hotel do Colegio over three other hotels who also said they could cater for my illness, so we arrived feeling very confident that no problems would occur. On arrival we were given the keys to our room and was assured it was a spacious room with two beds. To our surprise and shock this was not the case; the bed in the room had been made up as a double. We were very tired after a long and delayed flight so was not very happy with this. We went down to reception to be told that that room always has two beds rather than one. Our word appeared not be accepted and the person on reception insisted going up to the room with us to check for herself and, of course, found that what we had said was correct. She then said she would contact someone and get it put right. We were asked to wait and after us requesting it were given a cold drink while we waited. Time went on and no-one came so we went back to reception and asked what was happening. She then said the people who did the rooms were at lunch and we would have to wait until they returned. This was not the arrival we had hoped for and expressed our concern. She then said she would show us two other rooms which both had two beds if we would like one of them but added I’m sure you will want to wait for the cleaners to come back as yours is a much nicer room. We agreed to look at the other rooms, which unlike the one we had been allocated were inner rooms and much smaller. Obviously, we preferred the allocated room which was very spacious and also had a nice view. She assured us it would now only be another 15 minutes so again we agreed to wait. Thirty minutes later we went up to the room ourselves and the cleaners were just completing the ch

Myself and my wife were very happy with the Sao Miguel Park Hotel. I cannot comment on value for money as the hotel was part of a package holiday which included activities everyday, but in terms of pure hotel it made for an excellent say. Loved our room (307) which got the evening sun and it was a pleasure to sit on it's balcony after being out all day. Used the pool and it was very good and welcome when we returned from our trips. It does lose the sun that side of the hotel late afternoon, but not an issue. We found our room/bed comfortable and not outdated. Breakfast was fine, not the best we have ever had, but perfectly okay and kept me happy until my next meal. We did not use the dinner option (did think the buffet offering was expensive), as the town is close and has many excellent restaurants to choose from. The little we asked anything of reception we found all were friendly and helpful, as seems true of everyone on the island. I would be very happy to go back to this hotel in the future.
