The bed was very comfortable. Beautiful views of the port. Incredible service and a comfortable property all around! The roof top bar was beautiful for sunset. Their map of the town and island as a whole with mist dos was excellent.
This is a perfectly adequate hotel. They have A LOT of staff who are friendly and attempt to be helpful. The communication among the staff is lacking. A few examples are at check-in we were encouraged to attend the "welcome" wine and cheese at 6 PM. It turned out you have to sign up ahead of time and they only have space for SIX people. I signed up for a nassage at the front desk only to turn up at the spa 10 minues early and be told that someone else with a name similar to mine had already checked in and they couldn't accomodate me. We checked our bags and the concierge told us we didn't need tags. When we came back to retrieve our bags we were asked for the tags. Housekeeping knocked on our door at 10 PM for "turn down" service. When we didn’t answer the door quickly she came into our room. The next day she came at 6:30 PM and I asked her to come back at 8 PM. She never returned. On a positive note the breakfast was great. We ate dinner in the restaurant and it was very good. All in all it was a fine hotel with a some wrinkles.
The hotel was beautiful, full of offerings, very well organized and the staff were exceptional. From the Front Desk to the cleaners to the wait staff in bar and restaurant , everyone made the experience outstanding. Thank you.
We had a great stay at Octant! The hotel and rooms are very clean, modern and a great location! The staff was so kind and provided a wine and cheese platter to our room! The rooms are clean and modern. We can’t wait to stay again!
Quiet nice. Lots of amenities including restaurants, wine cheese tasting booth, valet parking, roof top pool bar. Staff are very accommodating. Situated central to island exploration (recommend renting a car away from the airport like Wonder Island Rentals, can be a long wait otherwise). Close to shopping and other restaurants, is on the end of the tourist strip, opposite old town.
There is some nice touches that make the hotel a bit more special. For example the breakfast buffet included is exceptional, from the presentation to offerings it is a reason to stay. The turn down service with small touches of cookies and refills of water/tea/coffee are great (the only odd thing we found was they enter at 9pm to do this) for US visitors this is really late to get a knock on the door. The lovely rooftop pool is small and unheated but with amazing views and nice breezy ambiance.
However please the hotel needs better signage. We got lost finding the lobby entrance from the garage parking, nowhere are doors properly marked for the hotel entrance from the parking garage (a simple sign can solve this!). And you will probably struggle when first entering the garage until you get an access card from the front desk for in/out privileges. About signage even the pool is not marked, it says "Whale Bar" and then suddenly you find a pool (it is not marked on the elevator floor buttons either). I felt the hotel could make better use of some spaces like the LL and seating areas of Floor 1, these spaces seem poorly underused by guests because the lighting and decor is not so inviting.
The location is very convenient if you are wanting to be near the center of town, everything is within walking distance and it feels pretty safe. I would say this is pretty the most high end hotel in the area. If you can get a good rate it is a good option.
NOT a 5* hotel. Rooms need renovating. Pool area inadequate. Staff abysmal- they either ignore you or they are rude and unhelpful, especially the concierge- makes you sorry you approached him (same with restaurant staff- they make you regret having asked for a table)

Wow oh wow, luxury for an affordable price in a gorgeous, exotic island. This hotel was very modern and minimalist in design. The staff and the amenities were first class. The free breakfast every morning was world class and high quality. Best money I ever spent on a vacation. Highly recommend renting a car to see the full island, going on tours just doesn’t cut it. It better to wander freely and discover the magic of the Azores by car.
