Pros:

Everything. The food, our little bungalow, the staff, the nature, the beach. This is an exceptional hotel and truly a little slice of paradise. We saw so much nature from the comfort of our sun lounger.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing

Amei ! Recomendo e pretendo voltar a me hospedar lá.
Pros:

Gostei de tudo. O hotel tem uma decoração linda e super charmosa, o quarto que ficamos também era lindo, banheiro com chuveiro externo muito bom. Cama e lençóis excelentes. Funcionários, todos eles, extremamente atenciosos e simpáticos. Café da manhã espetacular. E ainda tem bicicleta à disposição dos hóspedes.

An incredible one of a kind stay
Pros:

This hotel is completely utterly exceptional. We arrived to our stay to find ourselves with a free room upgrade- and what a room it was! It was something out of a movie- private pool and outdoor showers, incredibly comfortable beds. The staff are all exceptionally kind and helpful- they cannot do more for you. One member of staff in particular offered to give me a lift in to town to help me buy a phone charger. The food on site is excellent and affordable, the private beach is like something out of a movie. You are a 10 min cycle from the bustling town and several other beautiful beaches. I am a hotel designer and it is rare that I enjoy the look and feel of a property so thoroughly- I have no notes, this place is simply-stunning.

Cons:

Nothing

It was wonderful Aqua Claras is a gem
Pros:

The setting was just lovely. The jungle garden superb Our cottage very spacious and charming
The beach bar and beach area very unique

Cons:

Liked everything about it. Perhaps the picking up of towels off loungers when people have vacated them. Around the pool could be slicker as there are only six We removed them ourselves having waited a long time

Noisy road!
Pros:

The hotel has a beautiful design, with well-maintained gardens that add to the charm. While the beach area wasn’t quite our thing, it was still nice. Restaurant staff is amazing.

Cons:

The price-to-quality ratio was disappointing. Our room, at €350 per night, was directly next to a busy road, making it noisy day and night. The outdoor shower was a great touch, but the loud traffic ruined the atmosphere…. The manager’s claim that closing the doors makes it “completely silent” was far from true.

Breakfast and lunch were overpriced and underwhelming. $8 for an espresso? Hard to justify.

Beautiful place but let down by communication of management
Pros:

Stunning property

Cons:

We were moved halfway through our stay, after full payment was taken to a lower grade property. I said I was unhappy when advised of this, and they emailed to say they would discuss alternatives with the manager. No follow up was sent. No mention at check in and no contact made during the first half of the stay. I thought they understood I was unhappy to pack up half way my stay as I had packing for a 3 week holiday! We came back to find the key card didn’t work and no advice on moving and where too. Had to throw all clothes in bag that had been hanging and organised and was moved to a space without same organisation. I booked a two bed bungalow and received a 1 bed for the last few nights. The veranda wasn’t the same and the water cold. First half was blissful, second half was less so.
