We really enjoyed our stay in Sao Miguel and Hotel Gaivota was an excellent choice.
Pros:

The location was ideal, the staff was super friendly and the breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

While the hotel does have an indoor pool, an outdoor pool would have been better.

Fajny hotel w centrum, świetna obsługa, dobra lokalizacja
Pros:

Bardzo czysty hotel, obsługa dobrze mówi po angielsku, dostaliśmy parking w centrum miasta, dobra lokalizacja, dostępne małe spa, łóżka w pokoju wręcz królewskie, śniadanie bez przepychu, ale dobre.

Great hotel in the city center with a lot to offer + quiet and comfortable.
Pros:

The hotel is ideally situated in the city center next to everything (excellent supermarket next door), in front of the docks with sea view, and yet it is so well isolated that it is very quiet.
Our room was very spacious and well maintained and thoroughly cleaned every day.
Breakfast has a lot of variety, both buffet and ˋto order’ options, all very fresh and good quality.
They have a beautiful spa/sauna area with a well enough quipped gym. Underground parking with exit right in front of the hotel is 10€/day.
Staff was always friendly and helpful.
I would come back here again!
