Stayed here for 6 nights in September. We had a 2 Bedroom Apartment 20 A&B. It was stunning well kept, modern, comfortable bed and pillows. Every staff member at the hotel was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. The location is fantastic and you are central to everything in Ponta Delgarda. The only criticism for this hotel lies with the breakfast. There is pleanty of choice and options to have omlettes and pancakes plus other items made. The down side is the hot food is not kept under heat lamps. So they scrambled eggs and local bacon and other hot items go cold very quickly. Apart from this it was a perfect stay.

We just returned from spending 4 nights on Sao Miguel at the Hotel Gaivota in Ponta Delgado. We had a one bedroom apartment that was spacious and well equipped. All staff we encountered during or 4 night stay were extra friendly and helpful with recommendations on things to do and restaurants to try. The shower was a very pleasant surprise - excellent water pressure and lots of water. Air conditioning worked great and bed and pillows were very comfortable. Location was especially good close to everything and right on the waterfront and the availability of underground parking for just 5 euros per day was outstanding. Would highly recommend for anyone planning a stay in Ponta Gelgado.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel located near many great restaurants. The 1 bedroom unit we stayed in was spacious, clean, a comfortable bed, good water pressure and fast wifi. The kitchen came equipped with cooking tools if you opted to cook, but why cook when there are so many wonderful restaurants nearby. They restocked daily the coffee pods so we could have a cup of espresso to start the day. The free breakfast had many options from hot items to cold. We ordered off the free a la carte menu to try new things besides what was served. There's an espresso machine and a latte machine. We never had problems with finding an clean empty table and were always able to find a staff member if we needed help with learning how to use the latte machine or to order an a la carte item. The front desk personnel are helpful and gracious, especially Rodrigo who offered suggestions on future hikes in the area when we return. There were several women who worked the front desk who were conscientious, courteous and helpful. They remembered we needed one of the park cards and made sure to follow up with us. They were helpful with answering questions we had about the area. If you rent a car, you can find parking on the street but you must pay from 0800 to 1930. We opted to park in the underground parking near the hotel for 5 euros a day. If you arrive early like we did, they will store your luggage for you until check in which allowed us to go explore the city.

I’ve stayed at several hotels in ponta delgada and hotel Gaivota is by far the best for the price. Great location, Very clean, extremely helpful and friendly staff. The included breakfast is great.

I’ve stayed at several hotels in ponta delgada and hotel Gaivota is by far the best for the price. Great location, Very clean, extremely helpful and friendly staff. The included breakfast is great. A quick tip, if you can, definitely get the ocean view room. The room is huge and has everything you could possibly need! And the price is fair. Would definitely stay here again!
