We are staying in Ribeira Grande on Sao Miguel this June. I kind of wanted to stay on the western part of the island and then near Furnas to split it up, but we need the greater variety of restaurants that RG offers (and I didn't want to stay in Ponta Delgado). And it will be nice to just settle in for the week in one place. I just got an Airbnb since we are taking the teens, but the Santa Barbara resort looks nice (was out of our budget).
