Search Hostels in São Miguel Island

"I liked this place! They have a big gym, and the equipment is ok. I worked out every day. It is also a nice area for running, close to the seaside but also the Parque Urbano up the hill. I ate at the breakfast buffet every day. They could use better cereal, like Alpen Muesli, but it was great they had soy milk. Lots of fruits and other options for carnivores. The evening dinner buffet was also super convenient on bad weather days or if you already walked enough. They have a parking garage that is steep to get into and out of, but it is also easy to find parking on the street weekends and mornings/evenings."

"Great hotel in a great location. Finding the hotel using google maps is a challenge. Once you figure out parking it is easy(ask for guidance at front desk). Great breakfast buffet. Would definitely return."

"Every aspect of our stay at The Octant was first class! What stands out the most was the staff - not just one person, but every person we encountered seemed to be dedicated to making certain our visit was memorable and special in a good way!"

"My favorite spa in the world"

"Terra Nostra Garden Hotel is like a slice of Eden! Set in Furnas, one of the most beautiful places we visited in São Miguel, it offers peace and natural beauty in abundance. The staff were excellent — friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. There are plenty of lovely lounges and quiet corners to relax in. Our room was large and spotless, with the biggest bed I’ve ever seen! It had a small balcony but no seating — if I stayed again (and I definitely would), I’d book a room with outdoor space. The only slight inconvenience was that housekeeping ran until 17:00, and as we returned from hiking around 16:00, our room wasn’t always done yet. We dined in the restaurant twice — the food was delicious, service fantastic, and there were even great vegetarian options, which can be hard to find in the Azores. The spa was lovely, though the steam room didn’t drain properly, leaving some standing water. The real highlight is the setting. Terra Nostra Garden is breathtaking — filled with lush trees, flowers, and ponds. The thermal pool is amazing: large and wonderfully warm. Best of all, guests have exclusive access in the morning and after 16:30, when it’s beautifully quiet. Furnas itself is small, charming, and easy to explore. I would 100% recommend staying here — it’s truly unforgettable."

"I’m so happy we chose to stay at Hotel Verde Mar. It’s a beautiful and modern hotel, the staff are so kind and helpful, the breakfast is delicious, it’s right by the ocean, and parking is free. They also have a separate towel service for going to thermal pools or swimming in the ocean which is convenient. The location is also so great, you can walk into Ribiera Grande for food, and there’s a grocery story 1 minute away. Also again the proximity to the ocean is so nice. The room is quite nice, our room had a balcony overlooking the ocean. I had been concerned about the bathroom having a window into the main room but there is a shade that can be drawn that fully covers it. When I come back to Sao Miguel I will definitely stay here again. "

"We enjoyed the location, cleanliness and williness to help answer questions about local options. Excellent location, service, food options and room. Would highly recommend. Parking is off site but convenient and secure. "
