Great location in Velas, beautiful property with pool, sitting deck with ocean view, sunsets and Morro Grande view and hiking within 10 minutes walk. Close to supermarket and restaurants, ideal location in Velas. Good buffet breakfast. Beds were a little too firm for me but great for my partner...highly recommended for location, cleanliness and great staff!

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.

Loud until 4:00am

I spent two nights at this hotel. My first night at this hotel was utterly miserable and I got zero sleep. My room was like a Euro dance club with pounding base dance music. I started calling hotel reception at 12 and called continuously till after 3am. The hotel did not consider this its problem since off property and made zero effort to try to account for my inconvenience. The, “not our problem you paid for a room and got no sleep” attitude of the hotel is the basis for this rating. There was zero sense of apology, let’s give a small discount, or a free room service, nothing. The fact that I paid for a room that was extremely loud and could not sleep, this hotel made blatantly clear that I just had to suck it up and accept it. I have stayed at hotels where things go perfectly and hotels where on occasion something goes wrong, eg, hvac not working or loud wedding event disturbed guests. The reputable hotels are the ones where when sometimes goes wrong they try to make it up to the guests. The Hotel Sao Jorge Garden is not that type of hotel. Also, because I did not get any sleep, I was not able to do what I planned to do that day in Sao Jorge. I thought staying at the larger hotel in Sao Jorge would be the best choice, however, it was not. This is the worse experience I have ever had in all my years of travel. Every other hotel I have stayed at understood that one of their core duties is to provide an environment where their guest could have a peaceful nights rest.

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.

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!

Salt water pool, small bar for an evening cocktail, the view of Pico. Reasonable walk to restaurants.

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.

This was such a lovely hotel! Very comfortable and clean. The view of the ocean and Pico from the room was such a treat. The pool was wonderful. The staff was helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great. Highly recommend Sao Jorge Garden Hotel!

Friendly helpful staff

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.

O quarto é excelente, com vista da linda piscina. A piscina é de água do mar com uma vista maravilhosa para a Ilha do Pico e um pôr do sol de perder o fôlego. A equipe de funcionários é muito cordial. O café da manhã muito completo e tudo muito delicioso. Excelente acomodação. A consideração que faço é o check in às 16:00. E não foi possível um early check in as 14:00. Não consigo entender que seja tão tarde, ponto que indico a melhorar.

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.

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
