Top Porto Formoso Hotel Reviews

Hotel Marina Atlântico

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing trip with my fiancé, would not book another hotel. Amazing outdoor pool, indoor pool, hot tub spa and food/ drinks were great. Best location possible"

NINE DOTS Azorean Art Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent"

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."

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."

Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Resort is amazing truly a wellness experience just be mindful it is a bit of a ride from downtown."

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!"

Terra Nostra Garden Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of those properties you hesitate to give a great review- only because you don’t want it to become so popular that you can’t get a reservation. But, I want the staff to prosper so I will tell you that it’s beyond amazing! From the moment we arrived, we felt so relaxed. And, that was after a red eye from Boston. The property is incredibly beautiful - the gardens, the outdoor restaurant (with live music), the thermal springs, the spa. Every detail was perfect! So clean, too! And, the staff was always accommodating and helpful. Great location for exploring Sao Miguel. Amazing breakfast! Easy parking. 10 out of 10! We will definitely be back soon!"

Delta Hotels by Marriott Azores

10/10 Excellent

"Nothing much to write about. Although the breakfast was good, variations are more than welcome especially when staying for 7 days."

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

10/10 Excellent

"Sao Miguel is small enough that you can choose one accommodation centrally located and drive the whole island. Verde Mar and Spa offers ocean views overlooking a beautiful surf beach. Included breakfast is great and in house dining is convenient after a day of touring the island. Ribeira Grande is quaint without the urban cluster of P. Delgado. The 20 minute drive to the north side of the island is certainly worth it."
