"We loved our little houseboat in Ponta Delgado. We were very fortunate that Sandra took good care of us. We arrived very early in the day and she let us sit in her office (where we nodded off after a long sleepless flight) and then allowed us to check in several hours early. We had unknowingly booked the smallest room with a single bed (that pulls out to a double) and a pull out bed. It was very nice but we wanted a slightly bigger space. Sandra took us to see two other units we could choose...

Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico

10/10 Excellent
"I had a wonderful stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-prepared upon arrival. I especially appreciated the little desserts left in the room — such a sweet and thoughtful gesture! The staff were very friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel."
