We had a very nice experience staying at this place. The location was very convenient being just outside of Ponta Delgada, and centrally located to a lot of sights on the island. There was a little traffic noise during the day, being right on the coast road, but all you can hear is waves at night which made for really good sleeping. The beach right across the street is beautiful, though seemed a little rough for swimming. Further east a short car ride or walk is a nice swimming and surfing beach. I would definitely stay here again!
