"The Grand Hotel Acores Atlantico was a great hotel to stay at for our first trip to Sao Miguel in the Azores. The hotel staff were all very helpful from arranging airport transportation for our arrival and departure to helping our group of 6 plan tours of the island. The hotel location was perfect for walking to restaurants or shopping or going across the street to swim in the ocean at the city of Ponta Delgado public swimming facility. Daily breakfast was included in our stay and was outstanding."

"Hotel is located almost right in the center of the city. Difficult to find initially as it is located on a "side street" for pedestrians but available for service vehicles and private cars for pick-up etc. Parking is on the street near the hotel about a 5 min. walk. Public parking is inexpensive (less than 1 Euro/hour) but only applicable from 08:00 to 19:00 . No limit on space occupation. Shopping and other restaurants are close by as is the harbor and other attractions. They have a nice , decent sized rooftop pool, which is clean and accessible. The breakfast which is included is exceptional both in its choices and quality with plenty of seating. It is air conditioned. Great spot and would definitely choose again. Elizabeth and Philip Nace."
