This is a very convenient location on the island for the following reasons. When staying at other hotels in the tourist areas such as furnas/ sete cidades you have to drive up steep roads daily to traverse in/out of your hotels city. That can take hours of your day away and depending on time of day (night hours) or weather can be unsafe having to commute such steep terrain. This hotel is located conveniently in the middle of the island, away from the main city so you can enjoy nature (15 min drive to Ponta Delgada). Staff was excellent, they provide you with a cellphone for your room which they communicate with for reservations/ attraction ideas to visit, any questions you might have. Beach is conveniently right there, myself and every guest i saw enter during my 1 week stay there all said “wow” when you walk in and take in the views at reception. I miss my stay there already.

What a beautiful property! The views are stunning everywhere on the property from the office to the restaurant to the rooms. I stayed in a private pool room and it was perfect. Very clean, smelled lovely, quiet, and relaxing. Room service is fast and the staff is friendly. I wish there was an option to rent a golf cart to use around the property because it was cold when we visited and the walk to get our taxi was torture. But otherwise absolutely no complaints. Can’t wait to visit again.

We loved staying here with such friendly and helpful staff and an amazing view it was definitely a great place to stay. The view of the ocean from the restaurant and the food made for a beautiful dinner and drinks at the end of the day especially at sunset. Breakfast was delicious as well. Will definitely recommend to friends coming to the area in the future!

This resort was amazing for our honeymoon trip! They gave us a phone for communication and for use around the island for a GPS. The staff was amazing with giving us recommendations and helping make reservations. One of our favorite rituals was the bedtime ritual with the nightly tea that we will definitely incorporate back home.
