Suite was terrific, views of the harbour were perfect
This was our second visit to Hotel Gaivota Azores and we would come back again gladly. The staff are very warm and friendly, there is a parking pass available to rent, there is free breakfast, they offer a birthday cake delivered to room to celebrate a bday, and the view is amazing. We love it there! Zero complaints!
Great location. Great apartments overlooking the harbour. Very clean. Parking is quite expensive though and you can't smoke on your balcony.

We had a junior suite which had a large balcony and a fantastic panaramic view of the harbour.
On arrival we were welcomed and checked in speedily and found our room beautifully presented.
Breakfast and eating area very good with lots of choices.
Very central to all that happens in P D and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone.
Breakfast was excellent, staff friendly and helpful, great walkable location, spacious clean room. Only thing we did not have in the room was an iron but the front desk let us use a steamer. Would stay again.
Property was very clean, good location, attentive staff. We borrowed a towel for the hot springs and were told that it would be 2 euro, but were charged 6 when leaving. Apparently it was per day, even when not having it washed in between. The charge structure could have been clearer. Also, the breakfast could use improvement. The eggs (scrambled and omelet) aren’t seasoned at all. Even just some salt would help. The avocado toast was just bad. I wouldn’t even recognize it as avocado if I didn’t know already. Otherwise, everything was okay.
The hotel location is perfect - underground parking across the street for a reasonable price and walkable to all of the marina area and the many stores and restaurants in the area. The staff was second to none!!!
Try for a room with a view as there is no outside amenity area. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice plus an la carte menu.
This hotel is wonderful. Brilliant location, super central but quiet rooms. The breakfast is great especiallythe A la carte, do try it all.
Every member of staff from house keeping, front of house, maintenance are so incredibly polite and kind. We couldn't fault it, thank you for an amazing stay
The entire team was lovely and very accommodating. Considering my husband was in a wheelchair they did the best they can do with what was available. We truly appreciate the entire team going above and beyond to make our vacation a memorable one.
