Relaxing hotel
Posted 20 Jul 2024 on HotelsClean, well-kept hotel with large pool, garden and beach area (across the street). This hotel is a nice place to relax compared to louder mega hotels in the resort.
Breakfast was lovely and varied. However, two suggestions from me: Please provide free bottled water daily in the room and more fresh juice options at breakfast.
I would definitely stay here again and look forward to doing so.

It's small, a family run feel, which we like the low key, personal, quiet experience. Paula at reception and all other staff are very welcoming, helpful and friendly. That makes it easy and comfortable. Our room was ideal, good space in a double room, private balcony and beautiful colours of Bourganvillea to admire, a well maintain green garden space and pool in the centre. We had breakfast in the hotel every day, however we were away by day and dined out across the island. Very simple, easy walk down into Santa Maria or across the road to the beach and beach board walk.

The room was OK, evening dinners were ok and the hotel is well located - 5min walk to a lovely beach, 15mins walk to town centre, restaurants etc.
Breakfast was poor - limited choice, poor quality, constantly running out of glasses, cups, cutlery. Coffee and juice machines repeatedly out of order. No GF offering. In a word chaotic.
Lift was often not working properly, with door only partially opening.
Most of the staff were friendly and reasonably helpful though some were fairly indifferent if not rude in their service.
Overall, very poor value for money hotel in my opinion

The lowrise building, simplicity, gentle and genuinely helpful staff and service was appealing.
The hotel was peaceful, quiet rooms and lovely hammock areas, yoga in the garden, top floor small gym, reading and relaxing spaces and a short walk across the road to the beautiful beach and a 15 min walk into the centre of Santa Maria along the beach boardwalk. Lovely time.

To Whom It May Concern:
What I liked about the property is that it is centrally located and convenient to everything. The uniqueness had a gym.
What I did not like going to the gym, and there weren’t any Towels, trash can or anything to disinfect the machine before or after use.
Thanks.
