"A last minute break and it could not have been spent in a better place! The hotel and staff were excellent, as were the food and amenities. "

"Lovely hotel, great value for money. Small issues fixed promptly. "

"Room was very clean and had a cleaner in every day. Had a restaurant and shop not even 5 minutes down the road. Perfect location, the area was pretty quiet when we went in march which was perfect for us. There were busses running to Santa Maria snd was a 20-30 minute walk down and taxis right outside the hotel to get which was perfect. There was also another bus to their resort on the beach with a restaurant. It’s also a 5 minute walk to ponta preta beach. The staff were amazing and lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone. It was perfect for what we wanted. "
