This hotel was one of the nicest I’ve ever stayed in and was just what I needed. I stayed in a suite and was on the top floor. The views were wonderful from the living area and also the bedroom. Opening the curtains in the morning and seeing the water was breathtaking. I loved the yoga mat and exercise equipment in the room which I used and appreciated the inclusion of the minibar that was replenished daily. The bathroom was huge with well stocked amenities, the only thing I’d say is there are no hooks apart from in the toilet, so when having a shower there’s nowhere you can hang a towel to easily grab it after. Breakfast was ok, good selection of hot and cold options. I also had dinner at the restaurant one night and a drink in the rooftop bar, both were quite average. The staff at the hotel were wonderful, the person who checked me in and out was so helpful and through having passing conversations with the staff they suggested activities for me to do around the town, which I loved. The porter from Brazil was also very helpful and friendly. Every member of staff I interacted with was a shining example of attentive but not overbearing service. Thanks for a memorable experience!

The bed was very comfortable. Beautiful views of the port. Incredible service and a comfortable property all around! The roof top bar was beautiful for sunset. Their map of the town and island as a whole with mist dos was excellent.

Cool

Fabulous property. The amenities were top notch! I can’t wait to be back in the future!!

We had a great stay at Octant! The hotel and rooms are very clean, modern and a great location! The staff was so kind and provided a wine and cheese platter to our room! The rooms are clean and modern. We can’t wait to stay again!

Quiet nice. Lots of amenities including restaurants, wine cheese tasting booth, valet parking, roof top pool bar. Staff are very accommodating. Situated central to island exploration (recommend renting a car away from the airport like Wonder Island Rentals, can be a long wait otherwise). Close to shopping and other restaurants, is on the end of the tourist strip, opposite old town.

Great location

I really like the hotel, although I think they could improve breakfast menu a little. Otherwise a really nice hotel.

We enjoyed 2 nights in an upgraded room at Octant, enjoying both rooftop bar diner and room service. Very kind and helpfull staff. Would recommend for sure.

Great location and very attentive staff .

There is some nice touches that make the hotel a bit more special. For example the breakfast buffet included is exceptional, from the presentation to offerings it is a reason to stay. The turn down service with small touches of cookies and refills of water/tea/coffee are great (the only odd thing we found was they enter at 9pm to do this) for US visitors this is really late to get a knock on the door. The lovely rooftop pool is small and unheated but with amazing views and nice breezy ambiance. However please the hotel needs better signage. We got lost finding the lobby entrance from the garage parking, nowhere are doors properly marked for the hotel entrance from the parking garage (a simple sign can solve this!). And you will probably struggle when first entering the garage until you get an access card from the front desk for in/out privileges. About signage even the pool is not marked, it says "Whale Bar" and then suddenly you find a pool (it is not marked on the elevator floor buttons either). I felt the hotel could make better use of some spaces like the LL and seating areas of Floor 1, these spaces seem poorly underused by guests because the lighting and decor is not so inviting. The location is very convenient if you are wanting to be near the center of town, everything is within walking distance and it feels pretty safe. I would say this is pretty the most high end hotel in the area. If you can get a good rate it is a good option.

Very good property. Great staff. Small pool and small parking but have valet which helps. Nice bar. Excellent breakfast with lots of choices

Wow oh wow, luxury for an affordable price in a gorgeous, exotic island. This hotel was very modern and minimalist in design. The staff and the amenities were first class. The free breakfast every morning was world class and high quality. Best money I ever spent on a vacation. Highly recommend renting a car to see the full island, going on tours just doesn’t cut it. It better to wander freely and discover the magic of the Azores by car.

NOT a 5* hotel. Rooms need renovating. Pool area inadequate. Staff abysmal- they either ignore you or they are rude and unhelpful, especially the concierge- makes you sorry you approached him (same with restaurant staff- they make you regret having asked for a table)

Gorgeous hotel! Very clean! And in the midst of all of the action by the marina! Staff went above and beyond to make you feel at home. We were welcomed by a staff member who provided us with warm towels while we waited to check in. Rooms very clean and spacious! Will be back again when visiting são Miguel! Breakfast included was so worth it! SO much fresh and delicious options to choose from. We also dined at A Terra at night and had delicious meals. Highly recommend this gem of a spot!
