Great location, less than 5 minutes drive from Santa Maria and 15 from the airport. Wide variety of restaurants, bars, environments, pools. You don't get bored! Very comfortable bed, spacious room and bathroom. Staff was always very kind and helpful. If you arrive long before your check in time as I did, you can use one of the many courtesy rooms where you can have a shower and get changed before you start discovering the island and the beach.
