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.

Hotel sao Jorge Garden
The only complaints. The hotel was short staffed, and the breakfast buffet could have been hotter. The hotel is set in beautiful gardens and has a good pool overlooking the sea.good rooms but limited bar facilities. The few staff were very good and extremely helpful if aart from one, having little understanding of English

Superb and untouchable
The check in was perfect. So courteous and helpful. The room was fabulous —- I loved the sunset and moon overnight. The breakfast was such high quality. The stay stands Out above all accommodation and service I have seen and felt in three weeks in Açores and Madeira. Fabulous attention to detail, quality, professionalism and care —-I felt like I was in a family hotel and will recommend it to friends. Love the children’s furniture and care for wildlife in the gardens. Thank you to your w on Sergio staff in front desk (Ricardo) and in the restaurant for breakfast—— so courteous!!! And great food!

This hotel is in a great location and has a great view of Pico (when the sky is clear). The major downside is that the rooms are really dated and moldy. Also, when we stayed the pool area was not set up. There was no water in the pool or chairs set out, despite the fact that the weather was great. However, it was March, so maybe they are getting the place ready for the summer. Overall, I would say that for the price, this is a good hotel. But it has the potential to be a great hotel.

As an English only speaker trying to speak some Portuguese the staff was encouraging and helpful. The meeting area in lobby was great to socialize with friends. The coastline surrounding hotel is picturesque and fun to explore.

70s Retro or a Total Lack of Care???
What a shame that this hotel has been left in a time warp. It starts with a great view of Mont Pico, or would if the owners hadn't planted tall palm trees to obscure it. The pool and gardens are nicely kept. But reception is dreary, the bedroom smelt damp, the bedroom furnishings were all tired and the bedspread smelt. And finally the breakfast - when did you last see pineapple rings and half peaches from a tin on an island with lovely fresh fruit. Nothing wrong with this place that a complete change of owner and management couldnt quickly put right, but for now simply naff!

Good enough
Sao Jorge is a beautiful island and definately worth the journey. However it is not crowded with options for accomodation, especially not early October, when we visited. We booked in the Garden hotel the night before we had to head back to the main island, as the airport was just a 10 minute ride from here. The hotel could certainly use a renovation, it is like a trip to the early 90s. There is also old carpet on the floors which seems rather an unfortunate choice in such humid environments and which does not enhance an image of cleanliness. The staff is friendly enough but not very proactive or involved. To my request if there was anything we could do or see in the area during our afternoon, the bored answer from a tired looking receptionist was a sad "No not really". On further insistance though, she indicated a nice walk we might take and arranged a taxidriver to take us to the starting point. The pool is quite nice,and even better are the natural rock pools just a few hundreds metres away. The view over the ocean is fantastic. All in all, this hotel is attractive for its location but unfortunately not for much else.

L’hôtel est vraiment très bien nous avons pu disposer de la chambre dès notre arrivée à 11h30. Ile de Sao Jorge est magnifique, dommage qu’au niveau restauration de l’île (l’hôtel n’a pas de restaurant) il y a du bouleau: on nous a servi du surimi dans un riz aux fruits de mer. Sur les 4 îles des Acores que nous avons visité c’est à Sao jorge qu’on a le moins bien manger

Hotel al di sopra di ogni aspettativa. All’altezza di un quattro stelle, anzi meglio di tutti i quattro stelle in cui abbiamo soggiornato nelle Azzorre. Camera spaziosa, ottima colazione, ottima pulizia della stanza, bellissima la posizione fronte oceano.
