Die Unterkunft liegt weit abseits von einer Ortschaft. Sie ist noch nicht einmal bis vor die Haustür per Taxi erreichbar!! Auch das Taxi für 10 Euro pro Fahrt braucht ca. 20 Minuten ab der nächst gelegenen Stadt...dann geht es noch einmal ca. 15 Minuten zu Fuß, bevor man im Hotel angekommen ist... Wenn man irgendwo hin will - ausser beim loswandern vom Hotel und dorthin zurückwandern schlägt das immer mit ca. 1,5 h (hin und zurück) zu Buche und 20 Euro fürs Taxi... Frühstück ist immer dasselbe, Catchuba Omlet und Kaffee kein Obst....als Dessert zum Abendessen immer nur Sahneeis.... Der Preis ist viel zu hoch mehr als eine Nacht würde ich nur hartgesottenen Wanderern empfehlen...

Prima hotel, fantastisch gelegen. Zwembad is leeg
Hotel ligt op een geweldige lokatie. Ontbijt was goed. Omdat het een reis is van Ribeira Grande naar het hotel moet je in de avond wel in het hotel eten en het avond eten is prima. Één minpunt en dat is dat er in het zwembad geen water zat. Dat gebeurt vaker in de ‘droge tijd’ vertelde de manager mij, maar dat moeten ze dan wel duidelijk vermelden. Een verfrissende duik is er dus niet altijd bij….

Wir haben 5 Nächte dort verbracht und haben die Ruhe abseits der Stadt sehr genossen. Wir waren froh, dass uns von der Unterkunft die Möglichkeit angeboten wurde, unser Gepäck mit Hilfe eines Mitarbeiters zur Unterkunft zu tragen. Nur mit Rucksack wären die Stufen kein Problem gewesen, mit Reisekoffern ist es ohne Hilfe jedoch mühsam. In der Unterkunft gibt es die Möglichkeit, 3 warme Mahlzeiten am Tag zu einem guten Preis zu bekommen. Der Koch war super und hat jeden Tag ein anderes, leckeres Essen gezaubert. Mit dem Taxi kommt man innerhalb von 15 Minuten runter nach Ribeira Grande. Auf Wunsch organisiert die herzliche Gastgeberin auch gerne Transfers zu verschiedenen Orten der Insel (Cova de Paúl, Cruzinha, Ponta do Sol...) und wer einfach nur entspannen möchte, ist hier bestens aufgehoben. Zur Abkühlung gibt es sogar einen Pool mit einer kleinen Bar.
