Perfect for families with young children. ##### Ludgero Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Sep 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Whales Bay hotel is highly recommended. The place was very nice and clean. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and even got into the jacuzzi for a few minutes. The location is nice also as it is out in a quieter area but still only about 25 minutes t Ponta Delgada. The only thing missing was a nice breakfast. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay May 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Loved our stay there.

We were with a 2 1/2 year old grandson and he wet his bed and they came and replace the sheets no questions asked. Manager was a great friendly person always asking us if all was well and if we needed anything. We will definetly go back the next time in Sao Miguel. ##### Jose Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Jun 18, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property.

Ensure you rent a care if you are at this property. ##### Michelle Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alireza Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We chose this hotel/apartment because it has a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful location near the ocean, free parking, pleasant, and courteous staff and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and only 10–15 minutes car ride away. there is a supermarket about five minutes drive and a few bars and restaurants around. and on top of it, the daily price is reasonable. ##### Alireza Stayed 14 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### madiha Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Absolutely the best stay we had in Portugal! ##### madiha Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rime Jun 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Beautiful & affordable hotel, nice staff, very clean and calm environment ##### Rime Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaclyn Apr 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We were thrilled with this property for a family of four. The views from the penthouse apartment were incredible. Lots of space, super clean and anything you could need was in the apartment. You need a rental car for this area but it was so peaceful and scenic. Incredible walking trails right outside the complex. We enjoyed the spa amenities and pool every night! I would highly recommend Whales Bay! ##### Jaclyn Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura Jul 14, 2024 #### What an amazing Hotel From booking to check out the hotel staff were friendly and helpful with all questions.

An easy 20 minute drive from the airport, it’s located in a small village. Spacious, clean and modern apartments with a great pool. We loved it! ##### Ana C Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Thea May 26, 2025 Liked: Amenities Funktional, gut gelegen, allerdings wenig Charme und etwas heruntergekommen. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, es gibt einen großen Balkon sowie Pool und Saunabereich. Das Appartment hat leider null Charme, ist etwas heruntergekommen (abgenutzte Stühle, wo sich die Beschichtung löst, Kalk und Schimmel in der Dusche, kaputter Balkontisch). Das Schlafzimmer hat den Reiz einer Jugendherberge mit zwei getrennten Betten und ebenfalls abgeschrupptem Kopfteil hinter den Betten. Zudem liegt das SZ zum offenen Flur, mab schläft quasi neben dem Aufzug und hört jeden Gast, der sich in der Etage bewegt. ##### Thea Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Herbert Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Ein empfehlenswertes Hotel. Apartment mit moderner und großzügiger Ausstattung. Für einen Meerblick sollte jedoch die 3. Etage gewählt werden. ##### Herbert Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vignesh Parakkalam Mar 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Amenities People are nice ##### Vignesh Parakkalam Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vadym Oct 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect stay The stay at this gotelnwss great.

Highly recommend. ##### Janet Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Aug 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The appartment was big, nice, and modern.

They even greeted us with special honeymoon decorations in our apartment. This is a lovely location to stay at if you’re looking for apartment style accommodations to be able to do your own cooking while enjoying hotel amenities. We will be back! ##### Cassandra Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Sensi Azores Nature and SPA](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Sensi-Azores-Nature-And-SPA.h34839172.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Do Colégio](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Hotel-Do-Colegio.h1506095.Hotel-Information) > > [Pestana Bahia Praia Nature & Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Vila-Franca-Do-Campo-Hotels-Pestana-Bahia-Praia-Nature-Beach-Resort.h1682744.Hotel-Information) > > [Sao Miguel Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Sao-Miguel-Park-Hotel.h1191688.Hotel-Information) > > [Terra Nostra Garden Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Povoacao-Hotels-Terra-Nostra-Garden-Hotel.h1145025.Hotel-Information) > > [White Exclusive Suite & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagoa-Hotels-White-Exclusive-Suite-Villas.h17771621.Hotel-Information) > > [Canadiano - Urban Nature Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Canadiano-Urban-Nature-Hotel.h1409453.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Atlântico](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Atlantico.h1142406.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Verde Mar & SPA](https://www.expedia.ca/Ribeira-Grande-Hotels-Hotel-Verde-Mar-SPA.h34280798.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Gaivota Azores](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Hotel-Gaivota-Azores.h4796558.Hotel-Information) > > [Antillia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Antillia-Hotel.h2483785.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Açores Atlântico](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Acores-Atlantico.h2865267.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Do Caracol](https://www.expedia.ca/Angra-Do-Heroismo-Hotels-Hotel-Do-Caracol.h2558706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Talisman](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Hotel-Talisman.h2982027.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel VIP Executive Azores](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Hotel-VIP-Executive-Azores.h1337885.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa do Campo de São Francisco](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Casa-Do-Campo-De-Sao-Francisco.h32754361.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa das Arcadas](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Casa-Das-Arcadas.h32905013.Hotel-Information) > > [Caloura Hotel Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagoa-Hotels-Caloura-Hotel-Resort.h1420303.Hotel-Information) > > [Terceira Mar Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Angra-Do-Heroismo-Hotels-Terceira-Mar-Hotel.h1145024.Hotel-Information) > > [Senhora da Rosa Tradition & Nature Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Senhora-Da-Rosa-Tradition-Nature-Hotel.h45631041.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa das Palmeiras Charming House Azores](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Casa-Das-Palmeiras-Charming-House-Azores.h17681288.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Barbara Eco Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ribeira-Grande-Hotels-Santa-Barbara-Eco-Beach-Resort.h10947731.Hotel-Information) > > [Neat Hotel Avenida](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Neat-Hotel-Avenida.h18701400.Hotel-Information) > > [Octant Ponta Delgada](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Azor-Hotel.h15244399.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa do Contador - Suites & Pool](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Casa-Do-Contador-Exclusive-Suites-Pool.h20483786.Hotel-Information) > > [Azoris Royal Garden](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels-Azoris-Royal-Garden.h2222437.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monte Brasil](https://www.expedia.ca/Angra-Do-Heroismo-Hotels-Hotel-Monte-Brasil.h87669093.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Narita (NRT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/nrt/edmonton-to-tokyo) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/lhr/montreal-to-london) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yyz/winnipeg-to-toronto)
