We had a lovely ocean view. The dining room was exceptional 5 star food. There’s a small menu at the bar available during the day which was convenient. The hallways were a bit dark and a long walk to the elevator. The open bathroom with motorized roller may not be ideal for everyone wanting more bathroom privacy but otherwise the room was clean and ample storage & luggage space. They charge for the Nespresso pods in the room which is a bit cheap but there was a bottle of mineral water which we appreciated. We had our engagement photos taken at the waterfront. They are stunning! Thank you to Ayla Harbich Photography. She knows the best spots & sunset.

Quiet location with great sea views but hotel maintenance fell short. Dirty windows in breakfast room, stale croissants at breakfast buffet. Lots of little subpar things. Nice stay but not typical of what I would expect from a 5* hotel unfortunately.

We reserved 2 beds and were given 1 double bed and a cot. Both were extremely unconformable. I told the front desk clerk I did not want a cot. The shower was broken, only hot water. We reported it twice and nothing was done. We had to take a quick shower because the water was so hot. The swimming pool was freezing. I would not stay there again. Unless they give me a great deal. We had a reservation for top floor and paid top rate. We shouldn't have had to put up with this.

Some people may think that the location overlooking the ocean on the north shore is too secluded from the main towns, Ponta Delgada and Ribieros Grande, but we liked the fact that we could easily get there by cab or rental car if needed. This full service resort was an ideal spot to recharge and get away from crowds and noise of the more popular touristy spots.

Excellent stay, grounds are impressive, great views, staff was very helpful. Breakfast was a total hit. People in the local village were so friendly, we even attended mass at Senhora de boa Viagem. Beautiful country we will visit again soon.

Pros: minimal design and aesthetic of the property was wonderful. Robes and slippers for both adults and children were appreciated. Options of indoor and outdoor pool were great. The view is stunning.
Cons: There are certain expectations that come with a 5 star hotel such as superb facility maintenance and attentive customer service. The pools were not well maintained: many tiles missing and algae build up from the outdoor pool along with flaking paint; indoor pool had the same hair in the overflow drains day afyer day and the spa jets never worked. The bathroom in the spa/indoor pool area consistently lacked toilet paper and hand soap. The lunch and dinner options within the hotel were limited with little feature of regional cuisine. Given that any restaurant outside of the hotel requires a car, this was very disappointing. The service was sluggish at best. We watched four waitstaff discuss a schedule while a number of tables sat impatiently waiting for water, to order, their food...anything.

The surroundings are beautiful, the ocean views and serene environment. The access to walking path and natural pools (which we did not discover until our last morning) is an added bonus.
Although some of the hotel amenities are a bit off from the overall star rating. For example the bathroom facilities of the pool area are a bit lacking. The bathroom as well in room has an odd sliding door that doesn't completely shut close.
The hotel has a strict no check in before 4pm policy I would say this is the worst feature of the hotel, it was really hard for us arriving on a red eye, I saw at least 4-5 groups from our overnight flight sleeping around the property waiting for check-in time and the hotel was unflexible to allow even a 1hr early check-in. If this was known I would actually consider booking a earlier night just to get some good rest upon arrival because it really threw off our first day there.
I will however say the breathtaking surroundings make the hotel very special. The breakfast buffet is a welcome addition with nice options. The location is next to some of the best areas of the island with access to many scenic points and good restaurants all within 10-15 minutes away. Parking on site was easy and complimentary. The sunsets on this side of the island are amazing. Overall I would come back and refer this hotel but hoping they would reconsider their check in policy to really make it a more accomodating experience.

This property is beautiful in every way. The rooms are perfect, the ocean view is pretty, the breakfast is lovely with many options for everyone, and the outdoor pool is very nice especially for kids! The staff is helpful. The price is a bit on the high side though so I am not sure I would stay again unless the price was better. However, we stayed in August when it was too hot to use the indoor pool, and prices were probably at their highest.

We originally booked another hotel in Ribeira Grande, but they notified us last moment that there will be loud music festival right outside our window for all of our stay. We had to rebook. Pedras do Mar had just one last room. In the end it was a much better choice than the original. Hotel is very private, quiet, right on the shore, even though there is no proper beach. The views are wonderful, the staff are very friendly and helpful, good breakfast, nice restaurant (although they won’t seat you without reservation), but bar food is equally nice plus you can seat outside. Overall great hotel and great service

This place is so beautiful we didn’t want to leave! Our room was perfect with a balcony and kitchenette and it was so big! The pools were relaxing and just what we needed after a day of exploring. The dining was delicious.
