Guest Reviews
Breakfast was great and quick and easy access to the beach. All of the staff were amazingly accomodating and helpful. The phone with navigation and easy suggestions was great for exploring the island and quick communication with the hotel.
The pool off our room was not private and meant that we had to watch out and close our door so children swimming in rooms down the way and an old man doing laps didn't see us. It makes the private loungechairs unuseable with other guests swimming by. The resort was popular for families but that meant it was hard to have a sense of romance or privacy. For the cost and attention to detail with the staff and ethos of the resort, the clientele and behavior was unexpected. For the seclusion of the resort, it felt like there should be better ways to enjoy the property without everyone seeing you at all times.
tres beau spot sur la plage, malheuresusement pour nous il n'y avait pas de vent donc pas de vague.
Everything. The place is perfect. It's absolutely a dreamy hotel. The rooms were clean, large and comfortable. The beds was very comfortable and then breakfast was amazing.
Beautiful location. Friendly and helpful staff.
We stayed here for 4 nights after a 3 nights stay at their adult only sister property, the white. We really enjoyed our time here. It was a different vibe than the white, which was a 8-room adult only property. It was fun to come to Santa Barbara after which was a little more lively, and had the beach bar attached which was fun to go for lunch and/or an after dinner drink. Our room was one of the swim up pool rooms, we didn't use the pool as the water was pretty cold, but was nice to sit out there and read/relax. We didn't eat dinner here but the breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Fresh juice, breads butter and jam, and able to order eggs etc off the main menu. Our only complaint was the pool temp. The white hotels pool was heated which was really nice as some days were chilly, even in July. The pools at Santa Barbara were too cold To really enjoy. Aside from that we loved our stay and definitely would recommend booking her for either a couples stay or a family vacation, we have two kids 11 & 14 and think it would be a really fun place to come back to with them one day! We also enjoyed splitting the time between the two hotels, and having both a quiet, small adult only experience at the white- and then a more beach-vibe experience at Santa Barbara.
Beautiful resort. We stayed in a two bedroom corner villa which was spacious and had a great view. Very clean and quiet resort. The location is great, right next to Ribiera Grande and the best beach - Santa Barabara! The restaurant has quality food and breakfast was delicious. The pool was small but very nice. A little cold though. The resort was never crowded and plenty of available resort parking for rental car. Service was great, they came out right away and fixed an issue with our hot tub. The only downsides were that the fitness center is by appointment only, I wish it was a large gym open all day; and the resort is right next to the public parking for the beach. That parking lot is very crowded and makes it difficult to access the resort when cars are parked everywhere on the road. Overall though a great stay! A little pricey but worth it. Would recommend.
La localisation près de la plage, le couloir de natation, le welcome gift.
Les employées qui refont les chambres étaient très sympathiques à chaque fois que nous les avons croisées, leur travail est impeccable :)
Cet hôtel est plus adapté pour les familles, pas pour les couples qui cherchent le calme et la relaxation, en tout cas pas pendant les vacances scolaires.
Les tips au restaurant sont forcés (10% déjà dans la quittance que l'on peut annuler si on le souhaite, mais forcément on ose pas le faire). On se sent comme un distributeur l'argent ce n'est pas agréable.
TOUT est payant même les dosettes de café et les sachets de thé dans la chambre ... vu le prix de la nuit c'est un peu décevant.
Le personnel est sympatique mais s'interpelle bruyamment à travers le restaurant, dès le petit déjeuner, ce qui crée une ambiance "camping" qui dénote un peu avec le marketing "hôtel de luxe" qu'ils mettent en avant.
Bon séjour malgré tout, mais il faut aimer le bruit.
To be fair, it’s not all negative. As I wrote below: beautiful location, wonderful, very pleasant to relax there. A lovely, well-kept lawn. And importantly, the evening shift in the restaurant and the head chef were fantastic. Dinner was delicious, everything was perfect.
In summary—the price is too high for what it offers. We’re glad we weren’t able to extend our stay by one night; in the end, we were very happy we stayed there for such a short time.
- service
- automatic addition of a tip to everything
- cuisine (breakfast)
- poor spa treatment
The hotel looks beautiful in the photos. Its location is excellent and the architectural concept itself is also very good. However, when going to a hotel that positions itself as “exclusive,” you pay attention to certain things.
The first thing that struck us—and we encountered this for the first time—was an almost pushy insistence on tips. This doesn’t fit a hotel of this class. Everywhere, we immediately received the bill with a tip already included and information that if we didn’t want to pay it, we could refuse; they would then print a new bill without the tip. We were even told we could leave a tip for housekeeping, and specifically that we could leave a tip for the receptionist. Honestly, we assume that when staying at such a hotel, no one should have to teach us about tipping. No one has ever had to ask us for tips, we leave them willingly, so the owner is really doing himself a disservice by putting tips everywhere.
Additionally, the service was not at the highest level—again, you expect more from a hotel like this. That’s one issue. Second, the hotel already needs a bit of refreshing. You can see it on the facades, which in some places are simply peeling and coming off. And the third thing that doesn’t suit a hotel of this standard is breakfast. We received scrambled eggs with different ingredients than we requested, and my Benedict's eggs were half raw on a burnt pancake. We believe the chef saw what he was serving. This really isn’t acceptable for such a hotel.
I also had a relaxing massage booked there, in a beautiful setting—a hut over the ocean—and unfortunately it was probably the weakest massage I’ve ever had. I think anyone could have performed a massage like that
Lovely rooms and layout we loved having the garden with ducks and pond and jacuzzi
Outside areas are really lovely.
Pool area gorgeous .
Lovely massage area
I wasn't keen on the menu for dinner and lunch.
I don't eat meat or fish and the choices weren't great and I didn't enjoy the cream sauce on the pasta
Breakfast was lovely though
bar that everything was great .
My wife and I just spent 3 nights here at the beginning of our Portugal trip and two things were apparent: first, we should have stayed twice as long, and second, we should have done it at the end of our trip as a peaceful chill-out. Those two things aside - AMAZING. Perfectly positioned in the middle of the north shore of the island, you can get to any sights quickly by car - hikes, beaches, whatever - and you need to be able to because the weather on Sao Miguel is very micro-climated and quick to change. The hotel and grounds are modern and spectacularly kept, positioned above a beautiful black sand beach. The restaurant had creative, delicious cuisine, and they were accommodating to every request, with incredible hand-crafted cocktails. Most important of all - the staff. Friendly, professional, and genuinely interested in making sure you saw the right sights, at the right time, and every suggestion they made to us was spot-on successful. If you are lucky enough to get to work with the concierge Bianca, you'll see Azorean hospitality at its finest, but the whole staff was wonderful. This is a great spot for a nature-based chill-out time, and if you have modern/contemporary tastes in food and architecture, then you have your winner here. Plan a stay here with confidence. We would go back anytime!
The vibe, the atmosphere and the wellness options. I loved the size of the property and the views too
Nothing
Die Lage am Strand ist sehr cool. Die Zimmer sind auch passend zum Eco-Thema eingerichtet. Das Restaurant hat eine interessante Weinliste gehabt und die Cocktails an der Bar waren gut und kreativ.
Kein Wellnessbereich. Preis-Leistung ist inadäquat.
