My experience at Sao Joao was delightful, especially given the challenges we faced during our stay. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were exceptionally supportive and attentive, ensuring we felt cared for. The dining was enjoyable, with a wide variety of options, though there were a couple of dishes that didn't quite suit our taste. The location was convenient for exploring the island, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. The only downside was the absence of tea and coffee making facilities in the room, although we could borrow a kettle, which helped a bit.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel, which is beautifully set in lush gardens and only a short stroll from the center. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after busy days exploring. The dining experience was nothing short of exceptional, especially with the variety offered for breakfast and dinner. However, I was a bit let down by the indoor pool, which was much colder than expected. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful getaway.

I just had an incredible two-week stay at this beautiful hotel. Everything from the warm welcome at reception to the immaculate rooms and exquisite dining made for a tranquil retreat. The staff were exceptionally attentive and genuinely seemed to enjoy their work, which added to the overall experience. However, the location requires a bit of a trek to the city center, and be prepared for 'cardiac hill' on the way back if you choose to walk.
