Hotel Verde Mar is a lovely hotel situated right on the seafront in Ribeira Grande. The staff were courteous, pleasant, and always willing to help. Our room was spacious, bright, and clean — and it’s definitely worth booking one with a sea view, as it includes a lovely outdoor sitting area with a table and chairs. The hotel itself is large, with plenty of comfortable communal areas to sit back and relax. The spa is also very nice and adds to the overall experience. The restaurant and breakfast area are bright and airy, with large windows offering beautiful sea views. There was a great variety of food at breakfast, though it was occasionally slow to be replenished, and a couple of times I had to ask for plates and cups. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to stay, with beautiful views and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

I’m so happy we chose to stay at Hotel Verde Mar. It’s a beautiful and modern hotel, the staff are so kind and helpful, the breakfast is delicious, it’s right by the ocean, and parking is free. They also have a separate towel service for going to thermal pools or swimming in the ocean which is convenient. The location is also so great, you can walk into Ribiera Grande for food, and there’s a grocery story 1 minute away. Also again the proximity to the ocean is so nice. The room is quite nice, our room had a balcony overlooking the ocean. I had been concerned about the bathroom having a window into the main room but there is a shade that can be drawn that fully covers it. When I come back to Sao Miguel I will definitely stay here again.

Good complimentary breakfast with a selection of tasty eggs, cheeses, and bread options and 3 different juices everyday. Rooms were mostly quiet and soundproof, and room service did a great job keeping everything clean and tidy. Two pools, one heated indoor pool, one outdoor infinity pool with great views into the ocean that lines the back of the hotel complex. No jaccuzi/hot tub but there is a dry sauna and a steam room. Overall loved the hotel and service was very professional and friendly from the staff.

The Oceanview room had a beautiful view of pool and ocean. The room was nice and clean but the bathroom lacked sufficient lighting and there was not enough storage for your clothes. I don’t like living out of a suitcase for a week. The front staff were attentive and helpful. We enjoyed the lobby music. The included breakfast buffet was fresh, delicious and the view was outstanding.

Sheets were clean but floor in room felt gritty if you walked in bare feet like it isn’t well cleaned between guests. A few stains on balcony door and glass on windows and shower very spotty/ The hallway carpets also had hair clumps that never got vacuumed during our stay so not sure how attentive they are to cleaning. People were friendly and food was good. View of ocean was nice but land between hotel and ocean run down.

The outdoor pool was very nice, with a great beachfront view. Unfortunately, other aspects were disappointing. The sauna is far too small – with just three people inside it already feels crowded. Towel handling in the spa area is poorly organized: you only get one towel at reception and are expected to use it for everything. Breakfast was good, but service was lacking. We sat on the terrace, where tables were not cleaned between guests and often remained cluttered, despite plenty of staff around. For vegetarians, options were limited; some cream cheese or a savory spread would have been a welcome addition. Our room was extremely hot when we arrived. Although there was air conditioning, we were given only one key card, so the AC turned off whenever we left. We had to request a second card at reception – something they should provide automatically. When we asked if a twin room was available, we were offered two small blankets instead. What we received were just the separate parts (blankets and covers), as if we were meant to make up the bed ourselves. Since a large blanket was already on the bed, we used that instead. For a €400 room, this felt inappropriate. Overall, the location and pool were strong points, but the service and facilities did not match the price.
