Book a Ribeira Grande Cottage

"I liked this place! They have a big gym, and the equipment is ok. I worked out every day. It is also a nice area for running, close to the seaside but also the Parque Urbano up the hill. I ate at the breakfast buffet every day. They could use better cereal, like Alpen Muesli, but it was great they had soy milk. Lots of fruits and other options for carnivores. The evening dinner buffet was also super convenient on bad weather days or if you already walked enough. They have a parking garage that is steep to get into and out of, but it is also easy to find parking on the street weekends and mornings/evenings."

"Great hotel in a great location. Finding the hotel using google maps is a challenge. Once you figure out parking it is easy(ask for guidance at front desk). Great breakfast buffet. Would definitely return."

"great service. classy hardworking staff, excellent food. great room. nice pool. recommend. "

"Every aspect of our stay at The Octant was first class! What stands out the most was the staff - not just one person, but every person we encountered seemed to be dedicated to making certain our visit was memorable and special in a good way!"

"I’m so happy we chose to stay at Hotel Verde Mar. It’s a beautiful and modern hotel, the staff are so kind and helpful, the breakfast is delicious, it’s right by the ocean, and parking is free. They also have a separate towel service for going to thermal pools or swimming in the ocean which is convenient. The location is also so great, you can walk into Ribiera Grande for food, and there’s a grocery story 1 minute away. Also again the proximity to the ocean is so nice. The room is quite nice, our room had a balcony overlooking the ocean. I had been concerned about the bathroom having a window into the main room but there is a shade that can be drawn that fully covers it. When I come back to Sao Miguel I will definitely stay here again. "

"Wonderful, very unique hotel. Full access to a long beach where you can watch the surfers. Staff were wonderful and attentive. Also, great location on the North coast to do day trips! "

"Very nice hotel. Modern with all you needed for a stay. Close to all major roads, walking was safe and staff members helpful. Our room was on the 3rd floor (no elevator) but not an issue for us, may be for some. Hot water took about 5 minutes to get to the shower in the morning, once it was there it was ready to go. "

"Upon arriving, the staff make it their mission to make you feel singular. Every single staff member. Every need and want fulfilled. We celebrated our wedding anniversary there and we will definitely return regularly. To the whole staff...thank you! You are the standard of exceptional service!"

"Suite was terrific, views of the harbour were perfect"
