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.

Beautiful location, average service
Pros:

The location is truly amazing !
The room was also really nice and felt like this resort is respecting the environment.

Cons:

The service at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast wasn’t really good: waited a really long time to get a table at the breakfast. I’ve informed the reception that I was allergic to cinnamon and for breakfast I got jam with cinnamon. Thankfully I’ve noticed it, and ask for replacement. Then again I had to wait 15’ until I could ask again. The waitress told me that they hadn’t any other jam…
In the evening, we had the wait a long time to get served.

For check-out, I had to wait 20’ until someone came to the reception. I’ve called and asked the personal at the bar, and he called around.
I had to catch a plain, so almost left without being able to checkout.

Muy recomendable
Pros:

El complejo es espectacular: la localización, los espacios comunes, el restaurante…

El desayuno no es muy amplio, pero es de buena calidad.

Cons:

La piscina privada no era climatizada, es cierto que tienen una zona común tipo spa, pero no está acorde al resto de las instalaciones. Y por destacar un detalle que llama la atención a día de hoy: la televisión no es Smart TV.
