Azoris Royal Garden

We choose this hotel for a layover between flights to the mainland. 5 minutes drive from the airport and five minute walk to the Centre of Ponta Delgada. Had a nice diner in their restaurant.

Big business type of hotel, giving a bit of unpersonal sphere in the evening when we were there. While the room was very clean and comfortable, some parts of the building start showing signs of wear and tear.

Modernity and gardens

Nothing

The hotel was very good, clean, tastefully decorated. The staff was very helpful and kind. Large room and a fabulous breakfast! Less than 10 minutes from the airport.

Beds were ok..i found them too hard, pillows not so comfy either, breakfast was very fresh each morning, maybe a little more variety and it was difficult to find table settings.

We stayed in an Executive Suite room 401. There were two bathrooms with showers and one had a bath as well. There was a small balcony with a view of the sea. We used the hotel restaurant several times for an evening meal - the buffet meals were very good. Breakfast was also good. On our arrival a bottle of wine and cheese selection was brought to our room free of charge. Two days later it was my birthday and I put my birthday cards on display. In the afternoon a large chocolate cake with candle was brought to our room - totally unexpected. There was a very good selection of TV programs many in English with Portuguese subtitles.

The balcony was very narrow and 4 floors from the ground. There were two big chairs and a table to manoeuver around. My wife does not like heights so was unable to use the balcony.
