I had a great stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and clean, and everything was well-maintained. The breakfast was absolutely perfect—fresh, delicious, and with a good variety of options to choose from. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and always ready to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and look forward to staying here again.

The staff spoke English and were very helpful. The location of this hotel was perfect! If you want to see the stone arch, it is next door to the hotel. If you want to swim in the natural pool, it is on the other side of the hotel. The hotel also has a pool and lovely grounds. The breakfast is great, as well. Sao Jorge Gardens if definitely a place I will stay again.

Really nice place to stay. Only issue I had was the air conditioner in my room was not cooling. Staff tried to work on it and ended up with a miserable night of sweating. After talking with the staff again the next morning, they upgraded my room, at no extra cost, to one with a working air conditioner. That was a great night of sleep. Other than this issue, I would stay there again. My low rating was solely based off not having a working air conditioner.

The property was very nice and the location great. They claim to offer airport transfers but did not provide because the driver was out sick on my day of arrival and then the front desk forgot to confirm the return to airport and had to scramble to find a taxi. Also there was coffee in the room but no coffee cups. The maids disconnected the refrigerator every day even though we asked to keep it connected.

The hotel is simply beautiful. It is very private with the most peaceful view of the ocean and pool surrounded by palm trees and mountains. It offers an unbelievable breakfast with something for everyone. The property is very well maintained, clean and staff very pleasant and always willing to accommodate. It has an excellent location with a 10 minute along the ocean to center and ferry. S Jorge is a beautiful, lush island and S Jorge Garden did an amazing job incorporating the same beauty into their grounds. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again.
