Liked the location as it was quiet by the ocean. The beds were too firm. Bathtub/ shower slippery. Buffet was average. Great live music. Bartender accused us of not paying for drinks, which we had plus we gave a 20Euro tip. Later they apologized but it was embarrassing. Front desk was helpful.

The space itself was a beautiful studio with huge windows that opened to a little garden. It had a small kitchenette that was fully equipped for meal prep. The host was incredibly kind and had some home made jam and treats for us when we arrived. We had the breakfast in the morning which was wonderful. It consisted of fruits, pancakes, eggs, cheese, yogurts, pastries and more. The host was very kind, she answered all of our questions, made wonderful suggestions for restaurants and gave us some history of the location and the grounds. The studio itself was very clean, stylish, and quiet. I would recommend this establishment for anyone wanting stay on this side of the Sao Miguel.

Everything was brand new and thoroughly decorated. Very cozy and colorful home. The staff was super nice and friendly. The garden is very pretty, great for exploring.

Lots of hiking around, great beaches, nice local restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Relatively good public transport to get around. Often cheaper to take taxi to get around than renting a car. In total we spent 4 weeks on the Azores and had a rental car for 4 days, this was one too much. Taxi is great for getting almost everywhere. Public transport is somehow good.

The town has some very interesting historical buildings, but it seems the economic turndown took a lot from its better days. Walking there at night was rather a Lovecraftian experience. It's safe, but it's just that there's not much to do there. But it's a small island and the town is right in its middle and it was very handy for the day trips visiting its different parts.

Ribeira Grande is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting São Miguel. It is located more central than Ponta Delgada while being only a 15 minute car ride away from the airport, so it's the perfect place from which to explore the entire island. An added bonus is that it's right next to the best beaches in São Miguel: most beaches on the island are rocky, the only true sandy beaches are next to Ribeira Grande. We went surfing twice at Santa Bárbara beach, only 10 minutes away from where we stayed in Ribeira Grande. The city itself is fairly small but quaint and has everything you need, including a pretty large supermarket (Continente), some cafes and restaurants, stores, even a laundromat. The only downside is that for vegans/vegetarians it's pretty hard to eat out, but that is true for almost all of the island except a few places in Ponta Delgada.

Ribeira Grande is a great starting point for trips all around the island. It is located almost in the middle of island so everything is pretty nearby. On the other side it is relatively small city so it is not overcrowded. 15-20 minutes from airport.
We had a wonderful stay. The house was really nice and clean, equipped with everything we needed. It's situated in a great location of Ribeira Grande so you can go everywhere around by walk. This location is also really convenient when you want to explore whole island by car. Parking is also possible, you can leave your car easily on the street for free. Kevin was really kind and always ready to help. He also prepared a really nice welcome package of typical Açores stuff for us. We can just recommend this place for your stay :)
Everything was wonderful including our hosts. It was the most relaxing stay we have had in many years. The floral beauty of the gardens are without equal. The level of comfort was outstanding. The hosts were always available to answer our questions and provided us with many gardening tips. If you are looking for a Hotel, this is not the place. If you are looking for an apartment in a rural setting, centrally convenient location with peace and serenity, this is absolutely the place.
We loved every minute of hotel Verde Mar. Spatious parking, very clean hotel, spatious room with a lot of closet space, bath and shower. We absolutely enjoyed the lush spa located in the hotel. The swimming pool (6x20m) has a turbine, waterfall and jets. Good breakfast with high quality fruits, nuts, buns, pastry, charcuterie. Good quality restaurant. Large supermarket just across the street. Good alternative restaurant options in Tuka Tula beach restaurant and a local food market.
I really liked the location, in a quiet village close to the main spots like Ribeira Grande, Ponta Delgada. The core value was the view from the window: the ocean in all its majesty!
The host has been very kind and helpful from the time I made the booking. She was always available for any questions before the departure, promptly responding and providing hints.
I definitely recommend this place if you want to see and hear the ocean all the time!
Rose Apartment A was a really good choice to stay in Ribeira Grande. Check-in was very easy - we obtained a number code before our arrival (it is good that you do not need any key to bring with you all the time). The flat is quite big, the bathroom is huge with double shower. :) There is a small parking place just next the corner (or you can park on the street if it is full).
The house is very clean and comfortable, with a shared kitchen, shared bathroom, terrace and living room; the breakfast is great! It is located very close to the amazing Santa Barbara Beach and also a bus station and a nice bar are close by (ribeira grande center is a 20-minute walk, though). Caroline was super nice and helpful! I would go there again.
Absolutely perfect. Walking distance to beaches and restaurants, it was quiet, good parking options on the street. The house if very modern, offers washing machine, iron, big kitchen downstairs, very nice rooms. We were 10 people and everyone was very happy with the stay. The owner even helped us book 3 cars for our group with the best price possible.
The hotel has a youthful atmosphere, friendly and smiling guests, responsive hosts. A beautiful red cat who tries to participate everywhere.
Close to the ocean, surfers' beach. In general, a quiet area, next to a pasture with horses.
Classic hotel breakfast - bread, eggs, jam, cheese, meat. Delicious coffee.
Everything was perfect and special in the hotel. This hotel is unique and exceeded our expectations, wish we have stayed more days there, the decoration, location, the treat…
Special thanks to Claudia the guest relations and the twins who were extremely kind and helpful!
Best staff in the island.
We absolutely loved this property. It was easy walking to the beach, pool, restaurants etc.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook in and it was a bonus having a washing machine. We loved that they had a basket of local goodies filled with local products. We loved the back patio too.
Warm wellcome on arrival. Walter, the host is very friendly and helpful. Ribeira grande with his central location has very good connections to the motorways to explore the different sides of the island. Good whale touring from Rabo de Peixe with futurismo. We had a nice stay.
Big, nice and spotless clean apartment in the most beautiful location of charming Ribeira Grande. Safe parking, delicious coffee downstairs, very attentive staff. Definitely recommend it and if we’ll ever come back in beautiful São Miguel will choose to stay here again.
This was the perfect place for our little Azores getaway. The staff were friendly, helpful and flexible. The location was great and the breakfast had a lot of variety. The rooms and entire place were spotless. We would definitely stay here again.
This property is right in the heart of Ribeira Grande, and it is stunning! We loved that we were able to swing by the market and make our breakfasts back at the villa. This was a great central location for exploring the whole island.
Brilliant stay, rooms, warm pool, common area, shared kitchen and fabulous garden. We loved this house, plus the breakfast was something extra as well, nice touch, feels like a boutique hotel with only few people around. Great
Breakfast was amazing and offered a lot of variety. The views from the hotel were spectacular. The staff is very friendly, professional and accommodating. They really made this stay special.
