Azoris Royal Garden

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The outdoor pool was my fav part! Beautiful palms and flowers, a good size for Proper swimming... no Towel wars! The restaurant food was delicious and the bar was a fun place to watch the World Cup. The indoor pool area and gym were also v good. Thanks!

I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel/resort to anyone coming to the Azores. In the heart of the town, it is walkable to anywhere in town. Our overnight flight meant we arrived at the hotel around 8:00 am so we thought we would stop by and ask if they could store our stuff, but it turns out our room was ready which they pleasantly informed us. We stayed five nights and found everything perfect. The included breakfast was of top quality and large selection. The housekeeping was impeccable. We were so used to getting annoyingly nickle-and-dimed on everything in the US now, we felt great to have no extra charge for things like parking. The desk staff was very helpful with suggestions and opinions on what to do. I was embarrassed I didn't speak more Portuguese, but everyone's English was very good. The garden area (even this early in the season) was a good place to relax, and the lobby areas, secluded outdoor infinity pool, the indoor pool and jacuzzi, the sauna and Turkish bath (kind of a sauna made out of stone) and the gym were all really nice and well-maintained. No complaints whatsoever.

Near airport, kind staff, when I return I will choose this hotel

High end hotel, just outside of the city core. Interesting design with internal Japanese garden with koi pond, and an interior couryard as well. Very good buffet breakfast, comfortable and inviting bar. Our room had a view to the south of the city centre and waterfront. Staff are attentive, friendly and professional.
