We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay at the Azoris Royal Gardens. The facilities are very nice and breakfast is included, which is a definite plus! The buffet has good variety, including different fruit, salad, choice of meats, eggs, cheese, and many types of bread. Juice, tea and coffee as well.
We enjoyed using the outdoor pool, which was lovely and the perfect temperature. Plenty of lawn chairs and umbrellas with your choice of sun or shade. There’s also a small garden close by and a tennis court.
The hotel is conveniently located to both the airport and the center of town, only a 10 minute drive and 10-15 minute walk, respectively. This was great for us because we didn’t rent a car. My daughter and I felt safe walking back from dinner after dark.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, arranging a taxi to the airport very quickly the morning of our early departure. Note: there is a two euro surcharge for early morning rides to the airport (otherwise 10 euros).
We would definitely recommend the Azoris Royal Gardens and hope to return soon!
