Excellent option for Ribeira Grande
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location with great sea view very close to the beach. Walking distance to very good restaurants and a short taxi ride to more.
Rooms spacious, well maintained. Breakfast very good. Bar area comfortable. Some live music at the weekend.
Outdoor and indoor pool. We used the outdoor pool and it was great. Also walking distance to the beach. Close to Santa Barbara Beach as well (15 min walk).
Ribeira Grande is a great spot for seeing the main sights on the San Miguel island - everything within 45 min drive. Quieter than Ponta Delgada where we also stayed and enjoyed more of a city stop.

Cons:

A little bit pricy but we thought it was worth the extra for the modern facilities and wonderful sea view.

Tolle Lage am Meer am Strand, schöne Zimmer.
Cons:

Am ersten Abend kamen wir erst um 16 Uhr an und konnten keinen Platz für 2 Personen mehr im Restaurant reservieren. Wegen einer grossen Gruppe. Wäre am ersten Abend, einem Samstag, wo die Restaurants in der Umgebung auch voll waren, noch schön gewesen.

Good stay
Pros:

Reception staff very helpful. Rooms very clean. Pools lovely though we were slightly off peak so not many children which may possibly change the vibe.
Very convenient location for travelling around the island.

Cons:

There is a small wasteland between the hotel and sea that is not that attractive.
Small niggle - the pool table has lost some balls including the cue ball. Most likely because the net has a hole and they have fallen down inside the table leg.

Viel zu teuer für absoluten Durchschnitt
Pros:

Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit! Die Lage ist ganz praktisch, aber an einer Hauptstrasse. Besonders herrlich waren die Massagen! Sehr empfehlenswert! Der Strand bietet super Bedingungen zum Surfen. Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden.

Cons:

Wir hatten hunderte Insekten in der Badewanne, die immer wieder zurückkamen. Vermutlich aus dem Abfluss. Das blieb den ganzen Aufenthalt so. Die Zimmer sind absoluter Durchschnitt. Die Lage ist ok. Der Ausblick ist ganz schön aufs Meer, aber da liegt eine Brachfläche dazwischen, die vermüllt ist. Das Hotel wirkt ungepflegt und ungeliebt. Morgens stehen draussen noch Gläser von der Bar abends. Der Indoorpool wirkt irgendwie schmuddelig. Draussen auf der Terrasse war ein Stück Bodenplatte abgesprungen, die hab ich nach 4 Tagen mal wieder zusammengesetzt. Die Glastische vom Frühstück werden zwar feucht abgewischt, aber behalten dann typisch einen Film drauf - das sieht einfach nicht schön aus. Das Frühstück war eine Katastrophe! Verstehe gar nicht warum manche so begeistert sind. Es gibt zwar gefühlt 10 Arten seinen Kaffee zu holen (Automat, Vorgebrüht, Nespresso), aber der Rest? Dosebohnen, Fertigwürstchen, Dosenchampignons, Fertigrührei, vorgebratene Spiegeleier in lauwarm, … Die Pancakes sind ganz gut. Viel zu teuer für die Qualität, die es bietet. Wir waren zuvor in einem kleinen, feinen, privat geführten Hotel für das gleiche Geld - da waren WELTEN dazwischen.
