The view at Santos is mesmerising.. it's a pity that rain washed off most of our plans..reached late and couldnt explore much.. but it's an experience worth taking..rooms hv been done up well.. had a comfortable stay

Security on site. Good breakfast. Comfortable bed and bedding

super cool place to stay in an old train, very unique and right by the beach, very comfortable for being "only" a train, would definitely come back

VERY good value for money. Breakfast was exceptional.

Loved the friendly staff, the beach front, all was good

This is an absolute gem of a place to stay. View of beach amazing. The fact that you can eat on site is brilliant. We arrived late and received a phone call from reception who ordered out food for us so it was ready on arrival ! So impressive. VERY friendly staff. On site security very good. felt very safe.

Everything. The location is excellent. The staff too.

Great location. Very friendly and hospitable staff. Bed was comfortable. Interesting concept of turning a historic train into a lodge!

I love the train. It's a very good value for money

It is ON the beach, comfortable, clean and cozy, and the staff is super helpfull
