"A very comfortable and practical place to stay. The full kitchen was a great asset for us. The cliffs right outside the door are amazingly beautiful. It’s wonderful to be able to stroll along the cliffs at sunset."

"The stay at Forest Lake was absolutely perfect. Do yourself the biggest service and DO NOT MISS the dinner by Chef Joao. He created such a wonderful menu that holds up to any Michelin restaurant (hint: this place deserves at least two!)."

"The blue penthouse was outstanding. The daily cleaning and breakfast were amazing perks. Access to the beach was a real plus. Morning adventures and afternoon by the beach made an amazing holiday. The property thinks of everything beach towels concierge services."

"The room was clean but the building we stayed in had a strange smell that lingered in the room the whole time we were there. It was a good room for one night. I liked how they had a small kitchenette in the room with a good size fridge/freezer. The pool looked nice but we didn’t have time to swim. The staff was very friendly when checking in and out. We had a hard time finding a good restaurant by the hotel so we found ourselves driving to the next town over to eat our meals. It had a good size...

"Property is well located however the room we had was full of mold. The shared kitchen was dirty and the living room also had mold on the walls.
We tried to get a different room since we were staying there for 7 nights. Only after 4 days did they tell us that they would allow us to cancel for the remainder of our stay and give us the money back. Unfortunately since it was last minute we could not find anything reasonable and had not choice but to stay. Disappointing that guestready did not...

Volcanic lakes and lush green landscapes await on this island paradise, where hiking trails lead to jaw-dropping vistas. Soak in thermal pools, explore pineapple plantations, and watch for whales off the coast of Ponta Delgada.
We were extremely pleased with the property and accomodations. Well appointed rooms, pool, sauna, steam room, fitness room. Beds were great. Delivered breakfast was customized and outstanding. Staff was great. 5 stars plus!

Beautiful property tucked into a nature area (with horses and goats and an edible garden!). The buildings were very modern in contrast to the surroundings, which I found visually appealing. We stayed in one of the new rooms. it didn't have a kitchenette (which we didn't need), but it was spacious and well appointed. The bed was comfortable and the shower perfect - there was even a towel warmer. The deck off the room was fully covered meaning you could sit outside even while it was raining and...

We arrived and were met by friendly & efficient staff who got us checked in quickly with no wait - even though it was before lunch. We went directly to our beautiful 2 bedroom apartment which provided gorgeous ocean views. A fully outfitted kitchen with any appliances you need to enjoy dining in. A Snack Bar/coffee shop is a couple of blocks away for that morning latte. An Azores walking trail along the ocean is directly across the street! Our family loved staying at Whales Bay...

This is our favorite hotel on San Miguel Island, we would never consider staying anywhere else. The location is perfect, out the door to the beach, shopping and the center of it all. I must say that the included breakfast continues to amaze and I only worry about overeating. The quality of the food is excellent and there is staff to ensure all needs are met. As for the staff, hotel management is doing something right as this is by far the best staff we have come across throughout Portugal,...

My fiancé and I have visited Sao Miguel twice before, staying in Ponta Delgado, and decided to venture out of the city center. We were not disappointed with our stay here. The location was beautiful, the hotel was modern and refreshing, overall it was a wonderful experience and would certainly stay again and recommend to anyone looking for something off the beaten path with all the amenities and views anyone would need. - chris M. 6/19/18

My first trip to Lisbon and the Azores was most pleasant. The hotel I stayed at had marvelous facilities; the staff were some of the best I've ever encountered. The view was magnificent, and the patio was perfect for relaxing and getting some rays, while the magnificent views from the patio of the countryside were like a dream, yet real.
The food was great, and to top it off, the hotel provided rental car service at a reasonable rate. Without the car, I would have missed the joy of driving...

Nice and clean, spacious apartments. Most of them are in separate houses so it feels very private and calm. Only real complaint is the breakfast, which was poor (small selection and didn't feel fresh -- croissants were probably from yesterday and ham of cheap variety). Since the apartments have kitchens and nice terraces, however, this was only a problem first day before having been to a supermarket. I would also recommend them to get do-not-disturb signs even if the cleaning staff seemed to...
