"Simply Amazing "

"We stayed at Santa Bárbara Eco-Beach Resort expecting a family-friendly experience, but it was completely unsuitable for traveling with a toddler. While I can see the appeal for adults seeking a quiet, remote retreat, there is very little for children to do. When the weather is poor—as it was during our stay—you are essentially stuck indoors with no meaningful activities. The layout adds to the difficulty. Rooms are located up a hill, requiring a golf cart to move luggage, which is inconvenient with a child. Safety was a constant concern: stone floors, steps, and design elements made it easy for a toddler to slip or get hurt. Even the reception had candles placed on the floor, which naturally attracted our child. Outdoors didn’t feel any safer. There are areas with minimal or no guardrails and proximity to cliffs, meaning constant vigilance is required at all times. It was stressful rather than relaxing. The bathroom condition was also disappointing. The one positive was the excellent food, but it did not make up for the overall experience. We ended up leaving after only a few hours to find a more suitable hotel, and despite not staying the majority of our booking, we were unable to recover any unused funds. In summary: a nice retreat for adults, but not appropriate for families with young children."

"Set in a beautiful landscape in the countryside, high quality and tastefully furnished, perfect equipped apartments, and, most of all, incredible staff: Angela served delicious (highly individualized) breakfast in a beautiful breakfast room. Angela, Cissa, and Nicole (as well as everyone doing written communication) was incredibly friendly, competent, helpful, and all around delightful. I want to return soon. Pico do Refugio is also ideally located, right in the middle of the island, no matter what destination. The garden is beautiful, the pool super clean. One can't ask for more!"

"Welcoming and helpful staff, comfy beds, beautiful grounds and views and so much peace and quiet! We stayed in early April and the weather was beautiful but unpredictable (as usual in the Azores) and our room stayed a comfortable temperature the entire time without using the thermostat. The only change I'd make is more variety at breakfast and more opportunity to try the Azorean beef at dinner! "

"Breakfast was local foods and delicious. Staff was very friendly and the property is beautiful. Feels way more authentic than getting a hotel in ponta delagada. Would recommend 100% to anyone that likes homie vibes"

"Excellent - staff were so helpful and friendly"

"Comfortable and serene. Home away from home. All staff were great. Would definitely stay again. "

"Absolutely one of the best accommodations we’ve ever had! The hosts are incredibly welcoming and friendly! They’re helpful and have great recommendations for everything you could want to do on the island. First off, the hotel was beautiful and a piece of art in itself. The room was spotless! They provided towels for the shower and darker towels for the thermal pools. The breakfast was delicious and a great start to every day. We will absolutely be staying with them again on our next stay! Thank you again!"

"You need to have decaffeinated tea and coffee "
