Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a breathtaking waterfront view, and my room was impeccably clean. The service at the reception desk could use some improvement, but overall, the hotel provides an array of useful services. The location on the south cliff of Canico is simply stunning, with easy access to the sea. The dining experience exceeded my expectations with delicious freshly prepared meals. The facilities are well-maintained and enhanced my stay.
The hotel offers stunning waterfront views, kept very clean rooms, and friendly service. However, there could be more attention at the reception desk. Its location on the cliffs over the south cliff of Canico provides a refreshing island experience with plenty of fresh fruits. The dining with freshly prepared food was satisfactory, and guests could enjoy a beautiful meal down the hill at Ricardo's restaurant next to the sea. Price might affect the overall value for money.
