This hotel is nice and in a beautiful coastal location. Our room was #7 with perk-a-boo views of the ocean outside our room in the seating area. It was overly perfumed, so we had to keep the window open and door when possible. There is NO a/c, and the window tips open, maybe 30 degrees. We had to put the blankets in the closet under our beds bottom sheet because the mattress was extremely hard. The kitchen area had a nice fridge and kettle, no towel or wash cloth. The pool was extremely difficult to find because no one would take the time to show us. The second day, we had to use google maps to locate it. Find room 11A or B. You follow the sign to the sea and find the blue ropes. You will also see a steep path down to the ladder where you can swim in the ocean. Continuing to the pool you need to go past the green landing with chairs, more blue ropes and go past a house with a short wall. Finally, at the pool, the view is beautiful. The pool is in disrepair and cloudy water, which was concerning. Staff was nice, but little English spoken. No wash clothes in the room, but that is common. Breakfast had some great choices of fruit and the usual. Dinner was great. The cod and octopus plate was yummy. Filet mignon was also very good as was the lapas. All in all it was a nice place, just needs a little elbow grease. read more

This hotel is absolutely stunning. I went during the off season, so it was about half the regular price. It's relatively well maintained and the views are unbeatable. It was built outside of town along the water, so it's very private. You can walk along the "sea trail" that the hotel built and arrive at a number of ocean overlooks. One of them is right next to the water and you can climb down a ladder to go swimming. The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly. The dinner was especially nice and included lots of local produce. read more

This is a great stop for lunch (or dinner depending on the time when you pass by) on a self-drive-around-the-island tour. We were driving on the main road that goes around the island and didn't see many restaurant options after Madarena on our drive eastward, and so when we saw the "restaurant" and " hotel" signs on the road at around lunch time we just turned right and followed the sign down the slope for about 600 meters before we reached this restaurant inside a 4-star hotel. There were at least 20 people already there sitting indoor and outdoor eating or waiting for their meals. We got an outdoor table and ordered a vegetable soup each plus a mixed meat kabob which came with chicken, pork, and beef (all from this island) main course and a fried fish filet main course. I enjoyed the kabob but the fried fish filet wasn't as well done as the fish didn't have much taste. After the meal we ordered a scoop of pistachio gelato which was quite refreshing. If I return again I would like to try the octopus cooked in clay pot as the restaurant seems to offer a few good traditional dishes on the menu. read more
