Very Friendly Staff The View Rooms It is perfect!

Thomas, Germany

Very nice place if your won’t surfing or swimming.

Audrius, Lithuania

The perfect hideaway for a relaxed holiday! Our room was very spacious, we had a superb bathroom with a luxurious bathtub. The breakfast buffet offers some healthy options (a big variety of muesli f.e.) and even some milk alternatives (rice + oat milk). We also enjoyed a dinner in the restaurant – the Matcha Crème Brûllée was delicious! Unfortunately it was too cold to get into the pool, but the whole outdoor area looked very neat and inviting. I treated myself with a massage, which was pure heaven – highly recommend that!

Jennifer, Germany

The facilities were very thoughtful and natural. The interiors were in natural hues and very comfortable- styled very nicely. The service was outstanding!!! The food served in the restaurant for lunch and dinners was some of the best food on the Island- the service was impeccable. The location the property was located on the west side of town in a very scenic and quiet area- could not be beaten. All you could hear at night were the sound of the waves and the raindrops. One of the more impressive things about this resort is that we were given a basket of breakfast goodies the night before our 4 am departure. Such a nice touch and very much appreciated.

Kirsten, Switzerland

The resort itself is very nice, close to a beach with beautiful view and waves. The design of the resort is a combination of modern and natural style, you can see plants everywhere. Overall, it's a well-built resort with very relaxing vibe.

Yan, United Kingdom

A wonderful location in the hand of unexperienced staff. The interior design is very original, and the villas seems to be clean but the human experience made everything "material" less important. It's a place for massive tourism.

Luca, Spain

Awesome location, close to the beach (with water sport/surf club). Pretty central on the island so a good place to explore the entire island. Lovely view on the beach from the villa, we will be back in the future for sure!

Bart, Belgium

The architecture is beautiful. The rooms are well equipped and all have incredible views over the sea and the town.

Thomas, United Kingdom

Loved the eco aspect of the property: from the bamboo straws to the pool, the simple but stunning bedrooms, the decor with upcycled materials, etc. restaurant staff was lovely and the food was fabulous there. Access to the beach was amazing too. Will definitely go back.

Paulo, Germany

The exterior and location is beautiful, but you are depending on great weather to take full advantage of this.

- • Deluxe Two-Bedroom Villa

Would have been nice if the pool was heated so we could go in (since the weather wasn't super warm when we were there).
We had an awesome family suite right on the corner with an amazing view of both the ocean, pool, and the mountains. It was great to have our own private deck with hammock swing to take in the incredible view. We loved the decor of both the lobby/restaurant and the rooms. We also appreciated that even though the area where breakfast is usually served was under construction during our stay, we got our own private breakfast in another villa with very kind staff serving us. Overall would definitely recommend this for a relaxing retreat!

While promoting yoga classes/ retreats on their website, there was only one yoga class during the whole time of our stay – which was a pity, as we planned to practice daily.

The breakfast was lovely! Maybe just a bit more variability each day with a better selection of fruits and different salads.
The facilities were very thoughtful and natural. The interiors were in natural hues and very comfortable- styled very nicely. The service was outstanding!!!

During our stay, the resort had some fly infestation issues because of the farming work nearby. The flies were everywhere in the room and the restaurant. We pointed out our concern to the management team and they did help us transfer to another hotel.

“A 3 star max overrated and unfriendly place that made us regret spending so much money in it”
- • Leisure trip

- • Deluxe One-Bedroom Villa
- • Stayed 2 nights
Customer service is unexperienced (except for 1 amazing girl, the angel of Santa Barbara), the resort has very bad Air conditioning, refilled cream shower with sand of the anterior customer, very bad flies issues, and awful customer care. The Restaurant Manager was totally out of place, unprofessional and bad tempered. Not homophobic maybe but she made us feel totally out of place on our honeymoon after we got it prepared since the morning with the "angel of Santa Barbara". Experience was unfortunately really bad and totally not worth of the 200+/night we spent for "deluxe experience". The classic tourist trap for massive tourist, it deserves no more than 3 stars, and ECO only in the name. The video of the flies and more info: #santabarbaraoftheflies

Would have appreciated couple more amenities like hair conditioner, slippers, shower cap, tissue. The rooms were very nice, unfortunately there was a smell in our room coming from one of the bathrooms and a very noisy compressor. Uncomfortable living room couches. And, "I get it", but still didn't care for the idea of putting used toilet paper in trash can. Also, during our stay we had battle with flies in our room and restaurant. Many flies. Seems to be an uncontrollable issue. Some days worse than others. Stayed at hotel for four nights and loved it, but flies became an unpleasant nuisance. If it was a no fly day, I'd be back in a heartbeat.
Spacious rooms, look of hotel, most amenities, beach, nice pool. Nice outdoor seating areas. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful beautiful location.

The staff was lukewarm at best (except for one girl). Also, they had a major fly problem.
The location was stunning

That our trip came to an end and we had to leave!!
The entire resort was beautifully designed. Every where you turned there was a spectacular view. The restaurant had outstanding food and service.
