It's just a bit far from the city, but you will not feel the problem since you can do some nice activity there!

Really cool place! I loved the family feeling and the breakfast and dinner together! I regret to not have spent more time arounf to enjoy all the facilites and the service they're offering!

Tomas and the house staff are incredible. I arrived at Salt lips by accident but ended up staying for an additional four days because the accommodations were spacious, the bed were soft, and the breakfast was heavenly. In addition, the surf package made it affordable to catch some waves, get a good nights rest, and enjoy the lovely island of Sao Miguel.

Unfortunately, wifi didn’t work in our room for the last 3 days and this couldn’t be resolved.

The staff was exceptional ! They offered different daily activities like surfing, yoga, hikes. You can participate if you want to, such as for their dinners in the evening. Food was exceptional too. Dona Ana makes such a great breakfast. Top top top !!

Awesome breakfast and people to share it with. Amazing staff. It felt like home away from home.

The surf house is a bit far away from the city center: you can go there by bus but It is much better to have a car, especially if you want to move around by night.

I spent two nights in this beautiful and very well-kept place: even if I had a private room, I really appreciated the shared breakfast and dinner, a good opportunity to make new friends.

It can be a bit challenging to get to the center of Ponta Delgada without a car, but the experience is definitely worth it, even if you’re walking or taking the bus. The bus stops in front of a big furniture store if you wave your hand. It's about a 1-minute walk from the place.

The vibe, condition of the house, and activities were great - BBQ, swimming pool, and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could possibly need. There was a laundry and little extras like yoga mats, board games, skateboards, etc. Each room had a radiator, so even though it was February, the room was always warm. It was the staff and other guests that made this stay unforgettable - everyone was so welcoming, friendly, open-minded, and polite, and the staff did everything they could to help.

Very friendly and helpful stuff, well equipped kitchen and good internet connection. The place is located close to the beach and with good connection to Ponta Delgada.

Breakfast is not served during low season but also price is lower during low season. So it is OK. I would just appreciate to know it in advance - please mention it in detail of accommodation.

Very nice place. It is possible to park car in front of building. Owner and cleaning lady were very friendly.

I did not like the room itself - it is being sold as in-suite bathroom however it was a toilet and shower behind the curtain in the bedroom (where supposedly a closet should be). However, good thing was that there was also a shared a bathroom on the same floor, that we used (and not the in-suite one). if given an option, I would like to stay at the property but definitely not in the same room and I am not sure how is the toilet/bathroom situation in other rooms.

The villa is really nice. Host is very friendly. Kitchen amenities are good. Common area is very cozy with the dining table, sofas, board games and fire place. Balcony views from the room were really nice.

We liked everything!

Salt Lips is an amazing place to stay on your vacation in the Azores - the staff is incredibly nice, and they are always available to help you. They provide daily tours and activities which makes the experience much more satisfying, as you know that you don't have to worry about anything. The house gives us a sense of community because you meet everyone during breakfast and create new friends. We loved our stay and we would come back, without thinking twice.

The best choose to stay in São Miguel. Amazing people, very friendly and helpful hosts, I’ve really loved this place for the vibe of this beautiful house and I highly recommend it!

Kitchen could do with an upgrade: broken oven and leaking fridge. Off season you might prefer having a hire car as it’s a little away from the city and easier to reach the beach and other places on the island.

Perfect winter stay in a beautiful mansion with all the comforts of home. Absolutely lovely staff who were super helpful and friendly, always taking the time for a quick chat and making recommendations for things to see on the island. Beds are comfortable, good private bathroom, reliable WiFi, full kitchen facilities. Pool in the garden with a lovely yoga area.

It's a big walk to the city center, but I would say most of the people that go to São Miguel rent a car, so that won't be a problem for most of the visitors. Also, don't be put off because of that, because there are hourly buses just next door that connect to the city center, which was very helpful for me in the middle of a storm.

Perfect stay, totally recommend it. I was attending a game in the stadium next to the hotel, so for me the location was just perfect. The room was big and had everything that I needed for a great night, and all the facilities (full kitchen, lounge, swimming pool) were also very good for the price. There was a huge storm the day I stayed and the staff was incredibly helpful, saved me of getting totally soaked to the airport. Thank you, will stay again next time!

Can't think of anything!

The salt water pool was fantastic!! The staff were exceptional and very attentive to our needs. We very much enjoyed our visit and hope to spend time visiting with our newly found friends sometime in the near future.

We could hear the front door closing and opening which was disruptive at times. Bathroom and room become quite damp after showers but this is also in part due to the island's high humidity. Everyone has breakfast together which is lovely but it means that if you need to leave earlier than 9 am, you will miss out.

The staff and guests at Salt Lips are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we could have joined more activities (yoga, surfing, island tour), but as we were not aware of this we had prebooked tours/rental car. The breakfasts and dinners were amazing. Lots of facilities such as pool table, swimming pool, lounge to keep you entertained. We were able to make use of the washing machine and dryer which was a lifesaver during our 6 week Europe trip.
