Hotels near João Paulo II Airport (PDL), Ponta Delgada

my favorite thing was definitely the beautiful surrounding scenery well that and the mud but most people dont like that lol, i thought the owner jose was a very nice man friendly and helpful and treated his guests like on of the family, i would fully recommend staying there any time of the year

Weather can be unpredictable. Good roads for driving, but tricky narrow mountain roads. Very green and scenic island, good to explore with a rental car. City center sidewalks are narrow, would be difficult for people with reduced mobility.

It was a very enjoyable stay. From the first day of arrival to the last day. Location is great to be in between of a sandy beach in a walking distance from the apartment and Ponta Delgada in opposite direction along the ocean coast. Apartments with a picturesque view on the ocean with 4 bedrooms (2 of them with a balcony on a ocean side), fully equipped kitchen, 2 bathrooms on a separate floors. Communication with hosts was very good. Helped us a little bit on arrival with instructions how to enter the apartment and provided us with many helpful information including weather conditions and ordered the taxi to airport early in the morning. Helped us to explore the island connecting us with local tourist company. One day trip to famous local points of interests with Ivo was very pleasant and informative. In one word Highly Recommended!

BLACK MOULD AND DAMP IN PROPERTY - AVOID AT ALL COSTS. As soon as you walk into the property, there is a VERY strong smell of damp/mould. It meant I couldn't sleep properly for the 2 nights we were there and I actually had breathing problems for days afterwards. There was a huge dehumidifier in the kitchen and it had also recently been re-painted so the owners know of this issue and still are accepting paying customers, which is terrible as it's a health hazard! We let the reception know and what they offered as an alternative accommodation was not relative. Also we only had 3 days on the island so didn't have time to be researching alternative places to stay. It was the morning so we'd opened all the doors to get rid of the smell. At night when all doors and windows were closed, the smell was unbearable and we felt trapped and unsafe. I would NOT recommend staying in this property at all. Anything positive about the property is negated by the black mould and smell of the property.

Very nice surroundings, quiet area with beautiful views. Milena was a great and kind host, very helpful and understanding. Also an added bonus was the sweet cat Esmeraldinha .Thank you Milena ! I got a good rest and a warm welcome. Ewaryst Sitkowiecki form Port Coquitlam , British Columbia Canada

Everything. From the second we booked, we had an immediate message from Ana, and she was always available for when I had questions. As we got closer to our arrival date, Ana checked in to see if we needed anything and re-iterated all the amenities that she could provide, including pick up at the airport, cleaning...even offered to do some grocery shopping to ensure we had what we needed when we arrived. Ana provide us with a list of restaurants, grocery stores and other important information we would require. Upon arrival, Ana met us at the property, gave us a tour of the property and was very accommodating of our needs. The property itself is, well...PARADISE. My wife and I hadn't told anyone about it, so it was a total surprise to everyone when we pulled into the driveway. The look on their faces was worth a million bucks. The villa truly has everything. We had zero issues with the TV, Internet, bedrooms, toilets, kitchen...everything was perfect. The kids enjoyed the big back yard, sitting in the screened sunroom or having a snack under the gazebo in the back yard. There is laundry facilities with a clothesline in the back yard. From a location perspective, I think it took us 20 minutes to get from the airport. The villa is centrally located on the north side of the island, it's about 45 minutes or so to both the east & west sides of the Island. Ribeira Grande is also just under 20 minutes away, and you can get whatever you need there...or down in Ponta Delgada, which is also just 20 minutes away. There's a golf course a little more than 5 minutes away...honestly, this is PARADISE.

The location is fantastic—just 15 minutes from the airport and right in the center of the island, making it easy to reach all the interesting places. There are good grocery stores nearby, you can easily get down to the ocean, and there’s a beautiful church. It really gives the holiday an interesting and authentic small-town feel.

Great place to start. short ride from airport. Great shops! Eat at Esquina Steakhouse! Best beef ever!! Short trip out to the Gin library! Great place to hang! Walked up the bell tower. A little scary but worth it!! And its free!!! You can park your car and pay for parking and actually add extra time so you dont have to get up in the morning!!!! only in the Azores!

The location was great, close to the beach and restaurants. Having a private car park was ideal as we were always assured of a safe parking spot no matter what time we came home. Ryan was very quick to respond to all of our questions and very helpful. We would recommend having the guest info book easily accessible to guests.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The indoor pool area is small with loungers on the one side. Many times all loungers were taken. There is a steam room and sauna that were enjoyable when we could get in. The outdoor pool is not heated. We went in but our legs were numb in a very short time. Most pools in Portugal close in September. Nice sitting area in the front lobby. Computer was unplugged and no printer when I went to print our boarding passes. Beautiful trail along the coast to walk and take in nature. No restaurants or shopping within walking distance. Roads don’t have shoulders so dangerous to walk along. Some good restaurants a short cab ride 10 to 15 euros one way. Pineapple plantation tour is free and only 15 euro can ride. A grocery store is a 10 minute walk from the pineapple plantation and a 15 euro cab ride back to Pedro’s do Mar.
