The location was great! Quiet area and close to the beach. Great on-site restaurant and breakfast every morning. The staff were all so friendly and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable with air conditioning. There was a balcony with great views of the coast. It was close to a food market that had a bunch of little options for easy dining as well as a grocery store near by to get snacks and such for the beach. Truly a wonderful property! I would recommend to anyone to stay here

We loved many things about the Eco-Beach Resort. The help in the lobby and in the restaurant were engaging and polite. Their sustainability philosophy along with the design and materials used in the construction of the facilities was inviting. Breakfast was a meal we looked forward to every day. The fresh fruit and juices were excellent. There was no hesitation when we asked for something to be made a particular way to our liking.
The overall atmosphere of the setting was as beautiful as the beach adjacent to the property.

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.
Quinta Morazes Casas de Campo enjoys a location in Ribeira Grande, 1.8 miles from Praia de Santana and 15 miles from Lagoa do Congro.

The property itself is fabulous, typical ancient stone farm, renovated and well decorated/equipped. The host contacted few days before our check in to touch base and inquire about our preferred time for breakfast ( which was delivered to our accommodation and delicious ) and we felt very welcomed. We inly one stayed one night but could have stayed the whole week!
The staff was very attentive and sincere. We had a delicious breakfast at the Resort daily. The beach was an integral part of a relaxing stay. Once you become accustomed to a round-about, you'll be fine driving. The city of Ribeira Grande is very walkable too.

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.
Lots of thought and care has gone into this hotel. We loved the little touches, facilities and decor. The pool and bar area is really nice and a real bonus. There are lots of options for breakfast and the staff were constantly restocking the food. Parking is also available. We only stayed for a couple days and found restaurant/bar options in town limited, so would definitely recommended making use of the kitchen facilities on site, everyone has there own fridge and cupboard space which is handy.
A very nice place in charming Ribeira Grande. The bungalows are well equipped, and very modern. The room was very clean, and the AC worked very well as a heater, too. Eduardo is a very kind host and communication with him was easy. This place is perfect to discover the tea plantation, Caldeira Velha, and Lagoa da Fogo. Parking is free and a public parking lot is within one minute walking distance. This has been the best place on our trip around Sao Miguel so far!
The room looked like what I expected and it was in the middle of Ribeira Grande, easy walking distance to local shops and restaurants. The room was spacious and nice. Bathroom was outside the room but as it was private, I didn't mind that. Kitchen had everything I needed including salt and oil so I didn't have to buy quite everything! Beds were comfortable and the wifi worked very well for remote working.
Room was very spacious and clean, great bathroom woth a bathtub and shower. Amazing view.
Reception stuff was very nice and helpful same for the waiters in the dining area.
Breakfast was very rich and there were a lot of things to pick from.
Facilities were great, outdoor and indoor swimming pool, wet and dry sauna and others that we did not use aswe only spent a day in this hotel.
Rossana and her husband are the greatest people,really warm feeling from the first second I have arrived,large room,clean,big terrase,absolute privacy,great breakfast,she is making her own jams which you can taste by the breakfast and they are to die for. It is super close to the square,you can walk around the cute Ribeira Grande and not that far from the beach as well. I will be back!
Our host Orlando was very friendly, responsive and helpful. He shared a lot of tips and gave us some good restaurant recommendations for Ribeira Grande. The room was very comfortable, clean and decorated with a charming "pineapple theme". The center of Ribeira Grande was just a few minutes away from the appartement.
The blue apartment is truly amazing, very nice space. The location is very nice, close to the highway and the centre of Ribeira Grande, but on the same time very peaceful. The hosts have been very polite and friendly, I wish every apartment/hotel had been managed by such people. Definitely recommend it to everyone.
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.
Beautiful house with a garden, swimming pool and a big kitchen, nicely decorated and clean rooms, very helpful and friendly staff, easy check-in, excellent breakfast and brunch and they even lend us orange towels to go to the hotsprings! Best hotel we stayed in during in Sao Miguel:)
Everything was perfect during our stay. The staff are particularly friendly especially to our little pup Bruno. He had so much fun running around the hotel and the lobby saying hi to everybody. The hotel is definitely the best in the entire island.
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.
Amazing hosts and lovely B&B atmosphere. They were welcoming, accommodating, and offered helpful insight into our different travel plans. We would highly recommend this location as a base to explore Azores!
Location near the center of Ribeira Grande. The host was willing to help fix issues we could meet and keen to pass on advices about our stay on Sao Miguel.
