location on the beach was great. Breakfast was good and most of the staff super friendly.
SwitzerlandEco/surfsy vibe! Very cool environment, great views and great atmosphere! You really can breathe the fresh air coming from the sea! Employees were very kind and keen on recommending experiences!
PortugalExtremely beautiful and fantastic design. Excellent location with fabulous views. Great Service!
GermanyWe enjoyed every single moment at this resort. The view to the best beach of Azores is incredible, the rooms are very big, wisely decorated and with an amazing pool that connects all rooms. The resort stays in a calm side of the island, however you are more or less 20/30 minutes away from every attraction. The staff is composed by very nice people, always ready to help. The breakfasts has a good variety and it’s delicious. If you will to have dinner there and you are a sushi lover, have in mind that this is the best place to eat in the island! Overall, it was an amazing stay!
PortugalLocation Sustainable materials used Private pool Room smell Awesome food
PortugalWell where do I start!! Everything about this resort is fantastic. We stayed at the studio rooms with semi private pool heated at 24C, very comfortable bed, great bathroom, excellent breakfast, great outside area eoth an awesome infinity pool facing Santa Barbara Beach. Worth every euro!! Will certainly come back with my wife , to enjoy another glass of wine by the pool watching the sunset!
PortugalThe view of the Ocean and the location of the hotel right on the beach is absolutely perfect. It is close to all the best site seeing spots on the islands (30mins car ride maximum). The staff was incredibly helpful when organising tours and friendly throughout our stay. We had a great holiday.
SpainThe beach is amazing, almost the only one in the island with true sand. It's also the beach where surf championships take place in Azores. The resort is absolutely comfortable, quiet with breath taking views.
PortugalViews from our room over the mountains, views from the dining room over the sea. The breakfast. Selection of fresh fruits, nuts and seeds over cereals was special.
United KingdomThe location right above the beautiful Santa Barbara beach is stunning. The common saltwater pool and the architecture in general looked great. You can relax in the pool and enjoy the views over the sea. Views from the restaurant are very nice. We had a studio with direct pool (heated!) access which was amazing. The studio itself was great, very cool design and beautiful materials. Even though there was not enough staff in the restaurant (2 runners) it felt like they gave their best and were always friendly. A few more staff members to make the atmosphere more relaxed would have been good. The Sushi we had was delicious and prices were fair. The Check in and out was perfect, very friendly, helpful and welcoming.
