Breathtaking location and hotel!
Pros:

The whole hotel truly is absolutely breathtaking. Staff are helpful and friendly. The jacuzzi/gym area is also beautiful and it’s nice that you have it to yourself if you reserve it. Food is delicious (especially breakfast) and the proximity to the beach makes everything better.

Cons:

Honestly there is nothing to criticize, only that it is pricey, but that’s something you know in advance anyways.

Niet de moeite waard om naartoe te gaan !
Pros:

Einde van het strand

Cons:

De gym was enkel per tijdslot te reserveren, om 09:00 stond er een vreemde kerel op ons privé terras voor het raam voor de slaapkamer om de jacuzzi te reinigen. Personeel in het restaurant was een chaos en inefficiënt

We had a delightful time here. The setting is spectacular, with gorgeous views of the water and coastline. Our room was beautiful and comfortable, also with views of the water. We would definitely stay here again.

Pros:

The location is central to the island and next to a popular surf beach.

Friendly and attentive staff. Excellent and creative restaurant.

Cons:

The rooms are a bit austere and look out over the next town.
You need to drive a distance to get to any interesting hikes.

Pros:

- Personeel is erg behulpzaam en geeft dagelijks suggesties voor uitjes via de telefoon die je meekrijgt.
- Accomodatie heeft ontbijt-oplossingen voor wanneer je vóór het ontbijt moet uitchecken vanwege een vroege vlucht.
- Er is zowel een binnen- en buiten zwembad. Het binnenzwembad is verwarmd.
- De kamer die we hadden beschikte over een goed uitgeruste kitchenette.

Estadia excelente, num ambiente calmo e relaxado, com jacuzzi privado e um ótimo pequeno-almoço.
Pros:

Excelente alojamento para quem vive na ilha e procura, na época baixa, uma experiência diferente e de qualidade. O quarto com jacuzzi privado é um grande ponto forte, assim como o pequeno-almoço, que é muito bom. O local é calmo, relaxado e perfeito para desligar da correria do dia a dia.

Cons:

Nada a apontar, porque o alojamento é mesmo excelente.
