“Beautiful Resort, Wonderful Stay”
We stayed here for a big anniversary trip and loved it! Its location above the beach and ocean makes every view stunning. The design is so thoughtful in how it blends into the landscape rather than tower above like so many resorts. The staff were incredible. The food was delicious! If resorts are your thing, stay here!

“Great location, rooms, food and service”
Fabulous location with incredible views. Excellent service. Delicious food. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. We grabbed lunch the beach bar next door, which was perfect. The one down side is that the gym and hot tub are in one big room/ building and you need to make a reservation to use either. There is limited availability- mostly after dinner. We loved our stay here and would come again.

“Not to miss in the Azores”
Modern masterpiece on the north-shore of the Azores. Corksided bungalow style rooms - looks like it came straight out of Dwell magazine! Rooms are well appointed with a kitchenette and coffee! We had an amazing walk out to a pool for our room. Food at the restaurant was not as memorable as our meal at the local beach bar, Tukutula. There is a lot of private seating to enjoy the view of the beach below and you can walk down the hill to enjoy the beach. (waves were too aggressive for wading in the water) One unique aspect was the hotel provided us with a cell phone that help us communicate reservations, weather, and recommendations for daily activities!

“Beautiful resort, but Unusable Decorative Pools”
We stayed one night in the Blue & Green Villa with private plunge pool. Beautiful property and incredible setting — but at €720 for one night, the experience was quite underwhelming, mainly because the temperature of the private plunge pool was not maintained so unless you’re getting primo sun round the clock (which is rare in sao miguel), the private pool became more of a very attractive decorative water feature. 👍 The GOOD * Gorgeous location — beautiful beach and stunning ocean views. * Beautiful resort & villa — the property itself is really well designed and feels special. * Excellent breakfast — genuinely one of the highlights. Great selection. * Breakfast staff were wonderful — warm, friendly and welcoming. * Fantastic beach — although it needs better cleaning; we found sharp pieces of plastic on the sand. 👎 The NOT SO GOOD * 🥶 Private plunge pool: freezing cold. Beautiful to look at, practically impossible to use. * ♨️ Indoor “heated” pool: apparently maintained at around 40°C. That’s less swimming pool and more giant hot tub. * 🧊 Main outdoor pool: cold again * Some of the staff were also less welcoming than expected, with a few interactions coming across as having an attitude. This wasn’t everyone — the breakfast team were excellent — but it was noticeable. We had just stayed at Hotel Verde Mar, literally about five minutes away on the same beach, for roughly half the price. It had a large, properly heated indoor pool and a well-maintained outdoor pool that was actually usable. Even more telling, we recently stayed at Hotel Caracol on Terceira, a hotel that cost roughly one-fifth of what we paid here, and even that hotel maintained the temperature of its outdoor pool properly.
