This place was a dream. One of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. So clean and beautiful, the rooms are so chic. Full kitchen, living room, breakfast table, two tvs, giant bed, patio… was so spacious. Everything was spotless. The roof top pool and hot tub were so nice to enjoy in the evening. Felt very safe at night as there was a high fence with a locked gate around the property. Parking was easy, you get a remote for you stay to open the gates. Keyless entry was awesome too so you didn’t have to carry around a key with you. You could reach the front desk via WhatsApp if you had any questions if they weren’t at the desk or you weren’t back at the hotel which was super convenient. The breakfast was so awesome. You order the night before and they deliver it to your room in this cute basket the next morning. All local products. The bed was so comfortable and it was easy to log into Netflix etc to the tv and watch from bed. Beautiful beach a three minute walk away. I want to come back to Sao Miguel just to stay at this hotel again.

Aqua Pópulo is definitely worth the visit if you are visiting the Azores and looking for an upmarket but still relatively affordable hotel. The hotel has a number of individual apartments, ours a two bed with a spacious living room and kitchen (but only one bathroom). These are very modern and beach chic with all the amenities you could want and great air-conditioning throughout. The hotel provides breakfast to your door as standard, with cereal, bread with ham, cheese and jams, juice and coffee/hot chocolate. There is also a gym and a rooftop pool and jacuzzi although it took hours to heat up any time we wanted to use it While the location is great and Pópulo beach is one of the nicest on the island, we did find we needed a cab or rental car to get around which can add to the price. Guests can also hire out electric mountain bikes at a reduced rate which are great for exploring the city. Most importantly the hosts were brilliant. Really communicative and helped us with anything we needed, including middle of the day requests for more cooking oil! Highly recommend.
