Lovely and clean in the heart of the downtown, across from the marina. Very busy (somewhat noisy) and walkable. Felt very safe in the area. Good sized suite that had a balcony that faced the marina. Spotless and the front desk staff were really helpful. Lots of restaurants within walking distance.

We stayed here with friends for 4 nights. The front desk staff was amazing. Every single one of them were very friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond everyday. The location of the hotel and the rooms were great. But I can’t say enough about the staff, they were superior. I would highly recommend this hotel. It is a nice boutique hotel with a good breakfast. There is a grocery store next door and many restaurant choices to walk to. I would also recommend taking day tours and not renting a car in the island.

The property is in a great location close to many restaurants and areas of interest. There’s a well stocked reasonably priced grocery store and several restaurants next door. You can sit outside and see the marina as you eat. The one bedroom unit we rented was spacious, clean, a comfortable bed, well appointed mini kitchen, daily restock of coffee pods and good water pressure which was appreciated after daily hikes. The complimentary breakfast buffet is a mixture of typical European and American items. There’s a vast option of bread and a few pastries. There’s a free a la cart menu with many delightful options. For coffee, there’s a latte machine and another machine where you can select how strong you want your coffee. For non dairy drinkers, they offer oat milk. I did see they had gluten free avocado toast for those with gluten issues. The staff, especially Rodrigo are exceptionally welcoming and helpful. The person who works the breakfast buffet was ready to help and was so kind. Oh try the local pepper jelly too. It’s sweet & a little spicy which was a nice contrast to the usual fruit jams. Overall, the hotel is an excellent option if you are looking for a well priced conveniently located hotel in Ponta Delgado.

The staff was truly phenomenal. They have thought of everything and have an answer to any problem or situation. The breakfast they provide is perfect, and if you leave too early they will provide a breakfast option to go! You are equipped with fresh water, can rent beach towels, and they helped us with taxis to anywhere on the island!

Hotel Gaivota is located right in the heart of Ponta Delgada and only a short drive to the airport. The location has restaurants, grocery store, souvenir shops, etc. on the same block. You can easily walk and explore the town from this location. There are also spots to easily rent a car, go whale watching, island tours, etc. We booked a one bedroom apartment and found the unit to be larger than expected. The room was spot less and very well kept. There were two air conditioners in the room for added comfort with the summer heat and humidity. The provided breakfast was excellent. Lots of cold and warm choices. Plus fresh fruit, fresh juices and large expresso machines. The other option was to order a la cart options rather than the buffet. There was lots of seating as well. All of the staff that we interacted with a warm, kind, patient and helpful. For parking, there is no hotel parking but you can pay to park on the street or park underground at a nearby lot which had lots of spots.
