Very helpful and friendly staff. Room was very clean, bed very comfortable. The only issue was the weak air conditioning. It was a very hot day and the room did not feel cool despite the air conditioner set to the lowest possible setting. Enjoyed the bed and bathroom and the location. Nice hotel.
Firstly, I must say that the staff at the VIP Executive Azores Hotel is by far the most professional, helpful and friendly staff we've ever interacted with. The service throughout our stay was exemplary. Our deepest thanks goes to restaurant staff Hugo, Paulo, Erica and Elizaura. Enrique at the reception desk was always helpful and ready to hear about our day.
The hotel is perfectly situated to the City Centre, the harbour, the pineapple plantation and the botanical gardens. The restaurant meals were fantastic, from the breakfast and dinner buffets to the sit down service provided at lunch. Our room balcony faced the ocean, and the rooftop terrace provides a view of the harbour and the landscape.
Great experience!
Good hotel overall. Fluctuating prices but for $198/night stay its great. Great for solo travel and relax after day of hiking. Big grocery store next door for all supplies. I’d recommend this place.

Older hotel which is fine but the entry carpet should be replaced as it’s the first thing you see when you enter and it is in very rough shape
Staff were nice and helpful.
Room was clean but the bed was terribly uncomfortable- it was slopping into the middle and needs replacing
Shower had what looked like mold in it.
We did not use the pool because you need a shower cap and we didn’t want to purchase one.
Location wasn’t the best. It seemed to be in the newer area vs our previous hotel being right in the middle of things - just depends on what you want
Overall hotel was fine but wouldn’t recommend it
This is a great hotel with big comfortable rooms, the best night sleeps we had on our multi national trip, and is at a great location. They offer a fantastic breakfast buffet as well!

The staff was great, the location excellent if you have a car. The gym was a little outdated.

The staff here were excellent and the highlight of the property. We stayed here when our departing flight was cancelled. We booked last minute on Expedia and the staff allowed us to check in substantially early (which was great as we were traveling with 3 kids). The breakfast buffet was good and plentiful. Downsides of the property were that the rooms are older and our AC worked variably. The property could benefit from an update. Location wise; it was fine. 15 min walk to downtown Ponta Delgada, but there is a big grocery store in close proximity and a pineapple plantation nearby which has an excellent menu for snacks.
Very friendly staff. Excellent location if you have a car. No problem with parking outside after 18.00. There are lot of places to have dinner. Huge supermarket close to hotel.
I was solo travelling. Stayed for a week. I liked the location. Downside is breakfast not included and parking not included. Upside is there is a great grocery store next door and parking on street is free you just need to find spot. Location is good access to highways for sightseeing the island. Hotel overall is good. I would suggest booking ahead to get better pricing and be specific to request bed type (ie: king/queen size single bed instead of two singles).
Excellent choice when staying in Ponta Delgada. Clean, well-appointed rooms, and friendly, helpful staff. Decent buffet breakfast. Location was just far enough outside the city center to be quiet for sleeping, but an easy walk. Close to the highway for easy access to the rest of the island.
Tip: use the free street parking outside the hotel and avoid the hotel parking charge.
This hotel is a convenient and attractive place to stay in São Miguel, close to both the airport and the city center. The property is clean, bright, and always bustling with guests.
Unfortunately, the air‑conditioning was the biggest drawback. Our first room had a non‑working unit, and although the staff quickly reassigned us, the second room was no better. After experiencing the same issue during a second stay in a different room, it’s clear the cooling system is a recurring problem. Nights were warm enough that we relied on handheld fans to sleep.
The breakfast buffet was excellent, offering a generous variety of items each morning. Staff were consistently polite and helpful. Parking outside is limited, so we opted for the underground garage at €10 per night, accessed from an obscure entrance behind the building. Some hallway carpets also appear loose and ready for refurbishment.
Despite these issues, the hotel has a pleasant atmosphere and strong potential with a few improvements.
Was very good nice location very clean
Very friendly they say good morning all the issues was solved in few mins I was very impressed with all the services

When walking from the nice lobby into the room, I was quite shocked - the rooms are very dated and smell old too. However, on inspection, it was clean (apart from the carpet) and I slept very well.
Good hotel with all necessary services provided. No issue to find a parking place close to the hotel. 5 min in car to reach the city center. The breakfast is costly.
