This hotel was a surprise, you drive down twisty country dusty lanes, it is so discreet, you can not see it until you are in it. There are two really nice restaurants on the beach, a short walk away, but no shops, So do your shopping on the way or you have to get back into a hot car (they could do with a pergola for shade) for a bottle of water. Although it has nothing to do with vernacular architecture, it is hidden with sedum roofs and has beautifully landscaped and planted gardens. There is a huge curved glass wall that leads into a vast reception area with a sweeping curving desk. Perhaps sometimes there are coach loads, who fill it, but it was empty when ever we went through. All the rooms are in separate wings. Ours was more typical with white washed walls and little balconies. The balconies are carefully designed that you can not see any body else on there's. The rooms are huge, simple, clean, cool and had we been staying longer we would have been happy to have spent time there and cooked meals etc without cabin fever. The other wing was more space age architecture, a lot of glass and zinc roofs.
There were children by the pool, a triangular strangely cramped space with loungers on grass. Once the children got too annoying we went to the great beach. This is the only beach we found in the whole of the island with waves, we were surprised there were no surfers, so you have to be confident to get through them if you want a proper swim. We would return to this hotel.
