Excellent lodge with amazing ocean view, nice swimming pool, lot of space, kind and efficient staff and very quiet. Just one weakness: small kitchen with limited kitchen equipment, a real pity as having dinnee in the garden under a sky full of stars was one of the main highlights.

Sao Vicente Lodge canceled our reservation (which was made several months in advance) just a few days before our arrival. They never communicated with me about the cancelation; I learned about it from Orbitz. I then had to make numerous requests to receive the refund.

Beautiful Place to Stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at São Vicente Lodge. The views from our room were out of this world and the room was so comfortable. The staff had excellent communication and were very helpful. We loved the location for travelling this beautiful island. Highly recommend!!

Fijn verblijf

Ons gedeeltelijk zeezicht, was een raam in de slaapkamer, niet vanuit de woonkamer. We moesten onze aankomsttijd doorgeven, er kwam echter geen reactie op de mail en op een appje, de telefoon werd wel opgenomen. Verder een heerlijk zwembad.

Terrible accommodation

We had a stop-over at Ponta Delgada on our way to JFK, so we stayed there just one night. We took taxi to resort and felt like we were hostages stuck in the middle of nowhere. Checked in at 9pm and struggled to get a taxi to have a dinner (resort is in the remote part of island with NOTHING at all around it, except small village houses and cows roaming the coast). Called receptionist to help us get taxi (24 Hour Central Taxi had no cabs available and the private cab drivers either didn't speak English at all or said they were not coming to Sao Vicete resort). Receptionist lied, saying she called taxi who supposedly waited for us and left., Asked her for the number she dialed and conferenced her in: private cab driver who answered call said in broken English that he was asleep and didn't go out that night. Receptionist then went completely silent, never answering our calls again. This was surreal, terrible experience. Come and stay here if you want to starve yourself and get stuck with no transportation available in the entire island. The breakfast we were served next morning was huge and the staff that delivered it was friendly, but it didn't compensate for horrible experience we had the night we arrived. We had nothing to eat for almost 16 hours, since we hopped onto plane bound to Ponta Delgada from Lisbon. We will never return to this resort or Ponta Delgada.

The location was nice, refreshing with good views of the coast. The place was clean. The link for directions and the phone number listed for the property were both for a different property. In addition to following the directions to a different property, when I called the number listed I was connected to the same wrong property.

Morgens mit Blick über die Terrasse aufs Meer aufzuwachen ist grandios. Die Lodge ist innen wie außen liebevoll eingerichtet und Joel hat schnell per WhatsApp auf Wünsche und Fragen reagiert. Die Lage ist ein super Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in alle Richtungen und wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt. Kann die Lodge nur von ganzem Herzen weiter empfehlen, würde jederzeit wiederkommen und war noch nie so traurig, dass ein Urlaub vorbei ist. Wir kommen definitiv wieder in dieses “Home away from Home” :)
