    Getting to and from the port town was not so easy as expected: too much traffic, large campsites everywhere so difficult to walk comfortably and local restaurants filled up quickly. You really need to like shellfish to eat here, not much diversity and the hotel only offers a basic bar and microwave service, with no eating facilities in our room so options limited.

    Good sea views on western side of island, easy access to shore, which is sandy but rocky in water so not suitable for swimming. The pool looked good but weather too wet and cold during our stay so could not use. Good low level arrangement of rooms so everyone had a small balcony space.

    Kitchen could do with a grater but otherwise well stocked for such a small space.

    Lovely spot 10 mins walk from the port, with low level buildings around a nice pool area with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas, and a boardwalk access to the grounds. Our room overlooked the gardens and tennis courts, and was nice and quiet. We had a split level room with a kitchenette which was great alongside the BBQs on site. Mere steps from the beach and a great spot for watching the sunset.

    Fabulous resort, lovely friendly helpful staff that spoke English. Great location facing the sand dunes and beach just a 2 minutes walk, the port is a 10 min walk with many restaurants and shops. Lovely clean accommodation many well equipped rooms with sea view, nice swimming pool and tennis courts, the breakfast was fantastic with a grand selection, dog friendly.

    Our room was slightly dark and could have done with some more power points. The window was too large and couldn’t be left open (which may be an issue in hot weather).However, the room was comfortable and the bathroom had been modernised to a high standard.

    The staff were very welcoming and helpful; quite exceptional and friendly service. The location adjacent to the beach gave us a wonderful view of the tide coming in during the evening. The breakfasts were very generous and the pool was lovely; warm and very clean.

    Although we loved everything about the hotel, the one thing which would have made it even better would have been air conditioning in the room

    We love the location and the friendly staff. The hotel had a great pool and we were able to relax after our long cycle ride down to the island. What didn't we like about it and the cycle all the way back?

    Limited choice of drinks at the bar/reception and could only purchase wine by the bottle which, as it was late afternoon and we were going out for dinner and only staying for one night, meant there was wastage!

    Check in went well with the lady on reception speaking English to help us out. The room was spotlessly clean, bright and spacious and had a wonderful beach/coastal feel to it. Situated on the coast and a minute's walk down to the beach. Would like to have stayed longer!

    Nothing to dislike at all about the hotel. It is a 15 minute walk to the village & restaurants. Remember to take the gate code as at night the gates are locked for pedestrians as well as cars!

    The hotel & pool/garden areas are very attractive & well maintained with plenty of parking & right by a beach. All staff were excellent. Breakfast was very good with options to eat outside on terrace or by the pool. Rooms and bathrooms were bungalow style in the gardens & were clean & comfortable.

    It’s expensive for just a room with no comfortable seating and breakfast is not included. The room description states there is a tea/coffee machine, but there was just a kettle.

    Lovely location. Our room had partial views of the ocean and we enjoyed nice walks. The bed was comfortable and the shower was lovely. A separate toilet is always a plus. The pool area is lovely, but we didn’t manage to use it due to the weather. It’s close to the centre which has lovely restaurants and shops.
