Propre, tranquille, décoré avec goût. Le resto était excellent, les petits-déjeuners copieux et savoureux! Et la vue! WoW! La mer s’ouvre devant nous sur une plage de sable volcanique…. C’est le meilleur endroit pour s’arrêter quand on atterrit aux Açores

The hotel is not complete,spa facilities were not available. Websites mention hotel is new, not unfinished. Reception staff & concierge were great. San Miguel is beautiful,ribiera grande not that attractive. SATA connections via Lisbon v. poor.
