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.
Great property, penthouse 2 BR was perfect. Full kitchen. Teresa at the front desk 5 Stars! The staff made reservations, helped with any issues. Perfect jumping spot to explore the island and relax by the pool.
Clean, kitchen had everything that was needed. Sea views. Staff so helpful, above and beyond what was expected. Use of hot tub, swimming pool, sauna, turkish steam room and gym. Even a playroom for kids.
Only issue was that the laundry was really expensive. A washing machine available to guests would have been useful even with a charge.

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.
