We spent an amazing week at the Santa Barbara Eco-Lodge! We were a group of 4 women (mom and 3 adult daughters). We had a beautiful suite overlooking the gardens and pond with ducks. The staff was amazing attending to every question we had. The resort is high on a cliff overlooking the ocean and beach with stunning views and beautiful sunsets. We enjoyed our daily breakfast with fresh juices, fruits and a wonderful selection of eggs, omelettes, and yogurt bowls. We also enjoyed a few dinners at the restaurant and nightcaps from the bar. The cute beach bar is an added bonus and was so fun to grab a cocktail and watch the sunset. Thank you for a wonderful time and we hope to be back.

The view!!! While deciding where to stay in the Azores, I do not think the reviews were clear about the view at this location. Truly, the view was amazing. We were lucky that our room had an incredible view, but the view can be enjoyed from many places throughout the resort. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The room had a hot tub, and it was a great for unwinding at the end of a long day exploring. The food was very good at dinner, breakfast just OK in my opinion. The mocktail (Sunset Sour) was the best mocktail I’ve ever had. Creative, delicious, local ingredients… all contribute to the food and drink at this location. We had a couples massage in the outdoor hut, listening to the waves crash against the shore. Extremely enjoyable and memorable.
