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.

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.

Beautiful property overlooking the coast high above the ocean. Centrally located on the north end of the island which makes getting around sight seeing relatively easy. Nicely kept grounds with pool. The staff was absolutely wonderful!! Room was neat and clean with kitchenette. Loved the Nespresso coffee maker! A great place to stay and I highly recommend it!! Already planning my stay for next year!!!

10/10 would recommend!
We stayed in Anchova - it has a huge porch on the ground level overlooking hte beautiful pool. It's off to the side so it's not as public to the pool as the other ground level units which is nice for privacy. It can be a bit noisy from the floors above (hear the bathroom water flow) but overall a very very nice room and I'd love to stay again! The parking is located behind a gate (it's to the left before you reach the dirt road at the end). It's a nice walk to the next towns for food or a very quick drive. It's nice to walk along the coast (no beach access here it is on a cliff, but it's gorgeous). All rooms have access to the very large rooftop, it's a great place to view the sunset. There is a picnic table a couple large couches up there.

Amazing property, but watch the balcony doors
Amazing property, located roght up against the ocean, secluded licale, and super quiet. Room was clean and comfortable, and the self-check in and checkout insteuctions were detailed and very clear. There is no hotel staff onsite, but they’re available via email or phone if you need something (assuming you have cell service in Sao Miguel). The only reason it missed being top rated is that the balcony door DOES NOT open from the outside, which means if you all (or both, in our case,) go out onto the balcony at the same time to admire the deck and view, and intuitively close the balcony door behind you to prevent bugs from flying into the room, congrats, you just locked yourself out of your room, even if it’s 11pm. I’ll spare the details of how we got back into the room, but feel free to use your imagination like we had to. :/

My fiancé and I have visited Sao Miguel twice before, staying in Ponta Delgado, and decided to venture out of the city center. We were not disappointed with our stay here. The location was beautiful, the hotel was modern and refreshing, overall it was a wonderful experience and would certainly stay again and recommend to anyone looking for something off the beaten path with all the amenities and views anyone would need. - chris M. 6/19/18
