Top Hotels Near Santa Bárbara Beach in Ribeira Grande from AU$111

"We were here for three days. We did a tour of the West Coast and drove around the East Coast driving is simple very little traffic and the food is really really good."

"A very comfortable and practical place to stay. The full kitchen was a great asset for us. The cliffs right outside the door are amazingly beautiful. It’s wonderful to be able to stroll along the cliffs at sunset."

"Simply Amazing "

"We received a very warm welcome , which included freshly made bread and a lovely welcome basket .Communication with the owner on What's app, was seamless. The house and contents ( bed linens , towels ,kitchen supplies )were impeccably clean. And a clothes washer was an additional bonus!"

"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."

"The was great! It was clean, modern, luxurious - perfect for 4 adults and 4 kids. It had everything we needed and more. It was quiet neighborhood with a great bread store around the corner! It was a convenient location to base our explorations from. Carlos, the host, went above and beyond to make us comfortable and make sure that we had everything that we needed! Would definitely stay here again!!"
