“Excellent”
Great hotel, decent location and a great selection at breakfast time. They have a decent bar and the pool area is a nice suntrap and has plenty of loungers. Easy walking distance to the bars and restaurants and we would definitely recommend the 2 day hop on hop off bus. The green route first stop is just over the road from the hotel on the other side of the road by the port. First bus 9am. This hotel has a big thumbs up from us. Room 210 fronted onto the road and was very comfy with a massive big bed.

“Clean, convenient, friendly staff.”
Our room was immaculate and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful. Water pressure in the shower was excellent. We did not try the breakfast during our brief stay. The walk to the city center takes only ten minutes whereas the drive to the airport is less than that. There is on-site parking as well which is convenient.

“Loved the MS Vila Nova”
We loved our stay here. Our time at Hotel Vila Nova was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel kindly upgraded our room, providing us with great living space, a lovely balcony, and wonderful views.The dining options were a highlight. Breakfast had a plentiful and very tasty selection to start the day, and we found the dinner to be great value. Location-wise, you cannot beat it. It is perfectly situated for scenic walks right into the heart of town and serves as an excellent, stress-free hub for tour pick-ups. We would absolutely stay here again.

“Poor Experience”
If you’re planning a trip to Ponta Delgada, especially if you’re traveling with children, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. The continental breakfast was one of the worst I’ve experienced. The pancake machine barely worked, the bread was consistently stale, and on one morning the fruit bowl was full of fruit flies. It was so unappetizing that we ended up leaving the hotel almost every day to eat breakfast elsewhere. The room was just as disappointing. I paid extra for a suite and expected a much higher standard. Instead, I was greeted with a strong mildew smell as soon as I walked in. The carpets were stained, and the room felt worn and poorly maintained. It certainly didn’t reflect what I’d expect from a suite. The biggest disappointment, however, was how unwelcome we felt as a family. We traveled with a large group that included several children. Due to the rainy weather, we spent time in the hotel’s lobby and lounge areas—the exact spaces intended for guests to gather. Our children were simply being children, and at no point were they destructive or out of control. Despite that, the staff repeatedly gave us disapproving looks and made us feel as though our presence was an inconvenience. No family should feel uncomfortable for using a hotel’s common areas as paying guests. Overall, this hotel fell well below expectations in terms of cleanliness, quality, and hospitality. I would never stay here again, and I cannot recommend it to families. Even if you’re not traveling with children, there are several nearby hotels that appeared cleaner, more updated, and far more welcoming. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I hope sharing my experience helps other travelers make an informed decision before booking.

“Hotel Vila Nova”
Sadly, a cold attitude the moment we walked into the hotel. Milton, at the friend desk seemed like he was bothered when asked a question. Actually, he was quite rude to one of my friends. Hamilton, the bartender, was delightful, very friendly, as was the breakfast staff. The room lacked some basic amenities, such as Kleenex, frig, extra pillows, makeup mirror.
