We arrived late, but early for us with the time zone change. After check in we had a drink at the lively bar, Saturday night and the crowd was fun. We were not able to use all of the hotel amenities offered. Breakfast buffet was substantial, fueling us for our first day on Sao Miguel. We walked to the Pineapple Plantation which is nearby. Would gladly stay again.

Our stay at the Lince Azores was amazing! When we first got there, we had a few questions and things we were not familiar with in the staff helped us with everything they treated us so professionally and we’re so caring about our trip and making sure we were comfortable it felt like they really genuinely cared and that is very rare. The food there is amazing. The breakfasts are enjoyable, there is some thing for everyone and the staff is very caring and hospitable. The only thing that would be a negative is having to wait to get coffee from a machine. It was good coffee, however, waiting for it, and not knowing how to use it you might be in line for a little bit find someone who didn’t know how to use it. We were there for one dinner also and that was very very good. It was a Buffet and it was delicious. I would recommend this hotel and will definitely go back while visiting Sao Miguel. It is a beautiful hotel. The staff is very accommodating and they really want to make sure you have a good time. I wasn’t able to use the spa or the pool but we visited all and they looked lovely. The hotel was located centrally to everything as we had rented a car and for us it was a very convenient location. If I had to write this hotel out of five stars, I would rate it a five.

The hotel was unimpressive. It was very basic for the price point. The hotel smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, the AC in our room didn’t work and the tub didn’t drain. Unlikely to stay here again. It was fine for one night near the airport but for a hotel trying to be upscale it was disappointing.

Globalement bon hôtel.

Hôtel a 25 mn a pied du centre. Piscine semi couverte très sympa. Lit 2 personnes trop petit a mon goût, on est plus sur du 1,5 personne. Oreiller un peu ferme, mais c'est subjectif. Buffet du soir assez décevant, peu de choix, pas hyper chaud, pas hyper savoureux. Parking pratique.

The Lince is in an excellent location, close to the sea, town centre, shops and pineapple plantantion! Despite being on a busy road, the room was very quiet with no significant outside noise. The hotel restauant and bar had a good selection of foods and drinks. The breakfast was particularly good. The hotel indoor pool was warm, open many hours and clean. The room itself was well equipped with a fridge, safe, reliable wi-fi etc. If you are looking for a good hotel, in a convenient location at a realistic price, then I would highly recommend this one after viewing its full details and guest comments etc.

Estadia Decepcionante

Não sou pessoa de escrever comentários, no entanto, este tenho mesmo que escrever. Passei um total de 6 noites neste hotel em família e, lamentavelmente, não posso dizer que fiquei satisfeito com a minha estadia. Desde o início, enfrentámos problemas que prejudicaram a nossa experiência. No nosso piso, apesar de ser proibido, havia um constante cheiro a tabaco nas áreas comuns. Isto é inaceitável, especialmente num ambiente que se diz livre de fumo. Além disso, a partir da segunda noite, e todas as noites seguintes, um alarme soava intermitentemente durante várias horas, deixando-nos em constante sobressalto. Reportámos o problema à recepção na segunda noite, mas não houve qualquer resolução ou feedback nos dias seguintes. Apenas no último dia, e após ameaçarmos escrever no livro de reclamações, recebemos uma resposta do director do hotel explicando o motivo do alarme e oferecendo um jantar como compensação, o qual declinámos. Outra situação decepcionante ocorreu na zona da piscina interior. Quando não havia ninguém do staff presente, tentámos usar o telefone disponível para contactar a recepção em caso de necessidade. No entanto, apesar de várias tentativas, ninguém atendeu, o que me obrigou a sair todo molhado até à recepção. Além disso, o banho turco esteve fora de serviço durante toda a semana. Em resumo, a experiência ficou muito aquém do esperado devido ao cheiro a tabaco, ao alarme perturbador, à má gestão do problema pela recepção e à falta de atendimento na área
