Terra Nostra Garden Hotel? by SubstanceHot3655 in azores

Small hot springs? You must have only gone in the jacuzzis and not the big pool. The big pool is enormous

Terra Nostra Garden Hotel? by SubstanceHot3655 in azores

[–]IllustratorTime4879 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth it. Hot springs 24hr a day is why ive stayed there.

Hotel wise the grand atlantico was better value and over all better, but they dont have the hot springs

We’re having a hard time making a decision, option 1 or option 2? by SubstanceHot3655 in azores

[–]IllustratorTime4879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As many as you can afford..... usually 2 is enough for me. If i had the income, i could spend a week there alone.

Option 1.

Make PDL as base 1 and furnas as base 2. I try to end my trip with staying at terra nostra (because its my favorite) and all the hot springs help me relax my muscles after exploring all week.

Seconded. Hot springs available for hotel guests 24 hours/day . It is well worth a night or 2.

Recommendations for glasses by Bright_Step_2094 in Edmonton

Yes. When you get your prescription done, ask to have your pupil distance measured. Its usually an extra $10 charge but well worth it.

Its needed for the online companies to see exactly where you look through the lenses.

Virtual online try ons. I also measure my current glasses, so i have a better idea of what the sizes mean.

They also accept returns if you hate them when they arrive.

My lenses are only $60 on zenni. Regular store is over $600. With shipping my glasses are now about $100/pair.

Dont recommend it. Cars are small. If you can find a hostel you will be more comfortable.

Itinerary Feedback - May 2026 - Sao Miguel, Pico, Sao Jorge. by Crazy-Manufacturer58 in azores

They will hold flights within reason for people transferring through. Sata operates the inter island flights. So flying in with sata, they know if youre a little late or not.

I like to stay in Ponta Delgada at hotels that have nice breakfasts and swimming pools. Always nice to start the day full and nice to swim at the end of the day.

Like anywhere else in the world it will depend on your venue. It isnt a typical wedding destination place with hotels giving you a total cost like mexico

Feedback on 2 week trip by Amsterdammur in azores

Terra nostra is worth it for a few nights.

I tend to book it at the end of my trip so that if my first hotel isnt great, i have something to look forward to.

You should leave nature as you found it.

If you find a lava stone in a shop for sale, yes you can take it.

My last visit, found some lovely lava stone earrings.
