    amazing view
    kind staff

    Highly recommend for family stays

    We stayed in a Beautiful Two-Bedroom Villa and the view was fine. The staff was kind, always smiling, and you could feel the genuine hospitality, especially with Raquel at the reception who was so warm and approachable. My son especially enjoyed the wellness area, it felt like an oasis!

    It wasn’t inexpensive but in the end, I felt it was still worth it.

    beautiful landscaping
    delicious thai dishes
    room decor
    maintenance issues
    hot tub malfunction

    The stunning beach view and beautiful landscaping made this resort feel like a paradise. Dining was a highlight, especially enjoying delicious Thai dishes. Although the room was comfortable, the decor could have used more warmth and some maintenance issues were present. Additionally, it would have been great if the hot tub had worked as expected.

    tasty fish lunch
    beautiful sunset
    pesky flies

    Our group loved this place, especially enjoying the tasty fish lunch and watching the sunset from the beach. We spent our days relaxing by the pool and taking long strolls along the shore, which was just steps away. We did notice a few pesky flies around, but it didn’t take away from our awesome experience. I'd recommend trying the restaurant for sure! 🌊

    heated saltwater pool

    Just a great match for a momentary pause in Ribeira Grande with very good value for money. The heated saltwater pool was a highlight even with the rain. Get a rental car for more freedom around the island.

    beautiful setting
    heated saltwater pool
    varied breakfast
    lack of warmth
    maintenance issues

    The Santa Barbara Eco-Beach Resort offers a beautiful setting with modern architecture. The heated saltwater pool was a highlight of our stay, providing enjoyable swimming opportunities despite the rainy weather. The breakfast buffet was varied and included local products, adding a nice touch to our mornings.

    The room decor lacked warmth and attention to detail, and there were some maintenance issues that went unaddressed during our stay.
