"The stay at Forest Lake was absolutely perfect. Do yourself the biggest service and DO NOT MISS the dinner by Chef Joao. He created such a wonderful menu that holds up to any Michelin restaurant (hint: this place deserves at least two!)."

"Die Unterkunft ist sauber und schön. Leider ist das Schlafzimmer zur Strasse gerichtet und wenn die Traktoren vorbeifahren ist es sehe laut.
Verbesserungsvorschläge: Die Terrasse und der Innenhof ist eher trist. Es stehen 2 Stühle und ein Tisch da, keine Pflanze, kein Schirm etc. Das Bett ist mit 1,40m okay, die Matratze sollte dringend getauscht werden. Wenn sich einer hinlegt kippt die Matratze und man rutscht auf der Plastikunterlage hin und her und man hört leider, dass man auf Plastik...

"This hotel is amazing. Great attention to detail in the rooms, clean, modern, quiet and comfortable. Close to all the touring companies and restaurants within walking distances.
The staff is amazing and friendly. I will always choose Hotel Gaivota when visiting Ponta Delgada."

"A very comfortable and practical place to stay. The full kitchen was a great asset for us. The cliffs right outside the door are amazingly beautiful. It’s wonderful to be able to stroll along the cliffs at sunset."

"The blue penthouse was outstanding. The daily cleaning and breakfast were amazing perks. Access to the beach was a real plus. Morning adventures and afternoon by the beach made an amazing holiday. The property thinks of everything beach towels concierge services."

"Room was spotless, staff were available for any questions we had. There was a restaurant next door that served the best steak on the island that we enjoyed."

"The apartment living was great, it’s in a good location too for doing a lot of activities. Two pools which was great if weather wasn’t the best.
Only downside was the “buffet dinner” we went to- it was terrible and way overpriced. I wish we never went and saved our money as all the other restaurants nearby was cheaper and way better"

"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"The lovely room was clean, light and had everything we needed. Such a beautiful setting, and design. We loved it, The pool and spa area was great.
It was disappointing that there were no options for a light evening meal at the hotel, only an expensive set menu, especially as it’s quite a drive to town.
Also no food or drinks available during the day apart from snacks late afternoon.
Coffee and tea was provided in the rooms but no milk available. I was reluctantly given some from the kitchen, but told to buy my own in town."
"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."
