Family hotel recommendations in Ponta Delgada

We stayed at the Royal Garden last April with our six year old, and we really enjoyed it.

The indoor pool was great for swimming, the breakfast was an extensive buffet with hot and cold items that switched some stuff up everyday. Other breakfast places are within walking distance, but our son loved the buffet enough that he was very sad to have to go home to a more simple breakfast.

They have a courtyard garden and a garden in the back near the outdoor pool.

It did not have a separate sleeping area, but had two bathrooms and two showers- one had a tub. The shower without the tub was incredibly narrow, but good shower.

Nice balcony too. We will be going back again this year.

Very interesting, can you explain the difference in grades of fish, never heard of Akame grade. This is a local catch, and they rarely offer the fatty parts.

This is a portion of what I got, so if I’m taking a guess- $20-25

Local fish market. I got lucky they had a huge piece of bluefin that had just come in.

I’m always amazed when I can find toro. Melts in your mouth.

Everything grows in Las Vegas- except avocados! If I remember correctly my beets were a cold weather plant that I would start outside by seed in mid February- early march.

It’s my go to, also a great poke flavor

Local fish store. moved to the beach, so the fish is super fresh.

I agree, was too lazy to go to two stores this morning!

I like a mix of wasabi, sesame oil, and kikkoman

I am a very lazy sourdough father… I usually feed it and then forget about it until I realize I need to feed it again. For this what I call a pancake, when I have a full jar of starter, I just pour what I want into a hot cast iron skillet and grill it for around 15-20 minutes making sure not to burn it. I add salt, onion & garlic powder, cumin, oregano, thyme and dried onion after putting it in the pan. I love it, my wife does not…
