Bartender was great! A+ for a positive attitude, attentiveness, and willingness to make sure you enjoy your drinks and your stay. Hotel grounds were very nice, hammock was a pristine environment with the view, the nice breeze, and comfort to relax and enjoy the island and hotel. Room was very clean, bathroom especially was spotless. Two twin beds setup was a bit odd for a couple traveling but we made it work ! Breakfast was nice and staff ensured all tables were clean and food available. Would recommend this hotel. The view was incredible and the piscina naturale just West of the hotel was an amazing experience with the clear blue water , lounge chairs, snack bar, and cliff jumping.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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 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.

Hôtel idéalement situé dans Sao Jorge. Par contre draps sales, balcon poussiéreux, le tuyau de la Climatisation qui pend dans le vide et qui coule sur le carrelage, baie vitrée jamais lavé… un peu cher pour le rapport qualité prix. Par contre très bon choix de nourriture au buffet du petit déjeuner. Pourrais aussi mieux faire patienter ses clients en offrant de l’eau, du jus ou du café.

Das größte Hotel in Velas liegt zentrumsnah und ideal neben dem öffentlichen Badestrand der Naturbecken.Preis/Leistungsverhältnis i.O, gepflegter Garten mit großen Swimmingpool (Meewasser), sehr sauber. Alles in Allem, auch für Individualurlauber, durchwegs Pauschalgruppen, eine gute Option sich mal etwas Luxus zu gönnen. Zimmer Standard Mobiliar, teilw. etwas älterer Stil. jedoch mit Balkon und Meeblick.
