We stayed for 3 nights. Truly an excellent experience. It is a 2 km journey into the resort - and they provide an ATV transport to get you in and out with luggage. Without luggage it is a 30 minute walk. Also within 2 km walking distance is the nearby town of Santo Cristo that has restaurant options. The resort is excellent and the staff are more than helpful. The views are perfect. It is also on one of the best hiking trail on the island (all trails: PR1 SJO Serra do topo - Caldeira) I highly recommend staying for a few nights.

This is a very special place and I would highly recommend it especially to nature lovers. The house is clean, so comfortable, and well laid out. Fun outdoor kitchen and hammock area. And the setting is incredible. Views of the verdant mountains and beautiful sea. My family and I loved the hike to the parking area. Not having a vehicle was a fun experience. We loved hearing the birds at night and seeing the stars. Plus the fresh bread delivered each morning. The hosts are wonderful, responsive, and helpful. This was my favorite stay on our trip to the Azores.

I would describe Belo Surf at the Kuanza Nature Experience as remote, comfortable, and beautiful. The stone cabins are brand new and have everything you need for a self-catered vacation. We loved the outdoor area with seating, a grill, and a sink! Fresh bread each morning, the pounding surf outside, the breathtaking views of Faja dos Santo Cristo, and the hillside of Sao Jorge made our stay exceptional. Dipping in the pool after the exhilarating walk from Faja dos Cubres into the property was a wonderful treat. Beto and the rest of the staff were welcoming, professional, and available for questions and help. If you want to experience the Fajas of Sao Jorge authentically, with access to several hiking trails and island highlights, this is the place to stay. Highly recommend.

location, location, location plus the thoughtful design, adaptive reuse of structures, and the evident and abundant care of ownership and staff all added up to bliss for our group perhaps not for everyone, but the adventure of getting there and provisioning one’s stay can make for an even more satisfying stay.
