Sao Vicente Lodge - Atlantic Retreat

Generally described as very clean and new in multiple reviews, but several guests reported issues (pool appeared dirty in one stay, occasional bathroom odor and renovation/maintenance dirt), so cleanliness is slightly reduced.

Staff repeatedly described as attentive, responsive via WhatsApp/email and 'amazing' by guests; one isolated incident noted (staff tried to open a door early), but overall service sentiment is strongly positive.

Location is a consistently highlighted strength: top/orientation, direct sea views, coastal trail in front, excellent vistas and sunsets — highly praised across many reviews.

Rooms/apartments described as new, well equipped, comfortable beds and well-fitted kitchens by many guests; a few notes about cheaper materials, an old TV or somewhat high kitchen counters reduce the score slightly.

Amenities like pool, terraces, roof terrace, free parking and breakfast baskets are appreciated; pool and outdoor maintenance issues were reported by one guest which tempers the rating slightly.

Not often mentioned explicitly; general willingness to repeat stays and strong positive remarks about comfort, location and cleanliness support a rating aligned with the overall target.

Limited but positive mentions (breakfast basket, terrace breakfasts); not a major focus for guests and some stays had no food details, so rating is good but modestly lower than top categories.

Overall experience is very positive — tranquil, recommended by many, excellent views and comfortable accommodation — with occasional maintenance/noise issues noted by a minority of guests.
