Perfect place to stay if you want to be away from the tourist area. The room is modern, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of free parking for your rental car in a safe area. All of our activities were about a 20 min drive in all directions.

The Whales Bay hotel is highly recommended. The place was very nice and clean. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and even got into the jacuzzi for a few minutes. The location is nice also as it is out in a quieter area but still only about 25 minutes t Ponta Delgada. The only thing missing was a nice breakfast.

Our stay at Whales Bay Hotel was quite wonderful. We loved every aspect of it. The appartments and the common areas are all kept spotlessly clean. The reception staff were really heplful and knowledgeable about the islands. The hot tub and the steam/sauna was a highlight of our day. There is nothing about the accomodation we did not like. We will very probably book again next year.

We chose this hotel/apartment because it has a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful location near the ocean, free parking, pleasant, and courteous staff and away from the hustle and bustle of downtown and only 10–15 minutes car ride away. there is a supermarket about five minutes drive and a few bars and restaurants around. and on top of it, the daily price is reasonable.

Room and its amenities were great and everything was very clean. Parking was easy. All the staff were super friendly and communication was always quick and easy with them, before and during the stay. We had casually mentioned to one of them that we were on anniversary, and our last day they sent a gift basket for us as a surprise! Would definitely stay here again.

We were thrilled with this property for a family of four. The views from the penthouse apartment were incredible. Lots of space, super clean and anything you could need was in the apartment. You need a rental car for this area but it was so peaceful and scenic. Incredible walking trails right outside the complex. We enjoyed the spa amenities and pool every night! I would highly recommend Whales Bay!

We had the penthouse room 301 and it was fantastic. It was modern, open, clean and bright with ample space. The view was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. There are only a couple of walkable food options, but it was worth it. Highly recommend.

Lovely honeymoon stay

We spent part of our honeymoon trip at the Whales Bay apartment hotel and loved every moment! They even greeted us with special honeymoon decorations in our apartment. This is a lovely location to stay at if you’re looking for apartment style accommodations to be able to do your own cooking while enjoying hotel amenities. We will be back!

Lovely place

It was a welcome site after traveling and having the flight cancelled. It was so nice , clean, and comfortable. I wish I could have stayed longer. The night desk person was so VERY helpful. He deserves a raise.
