Pros:

Sehr schönes Hotel inmitten der Natur und nahe an einem kleinen Strand. Naturbrücke bei den Klippen sozusagen vor der Haustüre, ebenso der Klippenwanderweg. Lage war sehr schön und idyllisch, aber man braucht ein Auto und ein Navi. Zimmer war gross und sehr schön und neu renoviert, leider fehlten jegliche Haken, um Jacken oder nasse Badesachen aufzuhängen. Wenn das nach der schönen Renovation noch nachgeholt würde, wäre es top.

Cons:

Es fehlt:
Mehr Haken, um Kleider aufzuhängen, Ministore wo man Wasser etc. kaufen könnte.

Difícil acesso mas compensador.
Pros:

A localizacao é muito boa e as instalações sao muito confortáveis. Outro ponto de destaque é a limpeza dos quartos.

Cons:

Como o acesso é muito difícil, deveria ser melhor sinalizado. A praia tem pouca infraestrutura.

Pros:

Da vista. O quarto também era bom mas as cortinas eletricas estão sempre a avariar.

Cons:

Do pequeno almoço e do restaurante, o resort tem tudo para ser um nivel superior, não faz sentido ter um pequeno almoço e um restaurante mais fraco

Absolutely great!
Pros:

Location, view and the service of the restaurant is just amazing!

Sometimes there was a sewage smell in the shower, this seems to be a known local problem.
