I really recommend it!
Pros:

It was pretty cosy and there was a lot of space for everyone. The pool is also great and the hotel it’s right in front of the beach, which is pretty nice if want to have a nice walk.

Wer es ruhig mag und auch mal 15 Minuten laufen kann ist hier richtig. Schönes Hotel mit ausgezeichnetem Service.
Pros:

Das Bett war groß und bequem, der Service war ausgezeichnet und das Frühstück war auch tipptopp. Außerdem hat das Restaurant eine ausgezeichnete Küche. Der Pool und die Liegen sind auch sehr schön.

Cons:

Die Lage. Es war das letzte Haus in Santa Maria und der Strand war nicht zugänglich wegen den Steinen. Man muss mindestens 15 - 20 Minuten laufen um zum besseren Strandabschnitt zu kommen oder dahin wo es abends die Touristen hinverschlägt. Dafür ist es aber sehr ruhig.

Heerlijk verblijf in dit hotel.
Pros:

Wij hebben een erg prettig verblijf gehad in dit hotel. Het personeel was ontzettend behulpzaam en vriendelijk, waardoor we ons meteen welkom voelden. Het ontbijt was goed verzorgd en de kamers waren netjes en comfortabel. Daarnaast hadden we een mooi uitzicht, wat het verblijf extra aangenaam maakte.

De ligging is iets verder van het centrum, maar juist daardoor is het er heerlijk rustig. Voor ons was de locatie perfect, omdat de duikschool op loopafstand lag. Al met al een hotel dat wij zeker aanraden!

Cons:

Ze zijn in de omgeving van heg hotel aan het bouwen, daar kan het hotel niks aan doen en we hebben er ook zeker geen last van gehad. Maar als je aan komt rijden oogt het een beetje rommelig.

Tranquility
Pros:

Buddha Beach is a lovely tranquil spot off the beaten track from the main resort of Santa Maria, within walking distance that isn’t too far and taxi is only 5€ is you required. Breakfast consists of fruit , sweet and savoury treats along with 4 items from the kitchen that can be made to order. I recommend the island tour booking through the hotel, such good value for money and you get a good chunk of info and sights of the island!
Food in the restaurant is good for lunch and dinner and prices are what you’d expect for a hotel, of course you can get it cheaper in resort.
Staff were always so polite and pleasant, hotel manager always smiling and approachable.
