If you have never been to this island before and are trying to figure out what area to stay in, I am telling you: this is the best place! Don't hesitate to book it! The best and most quiet beaches are on this side as well as the best and authentic, non touristy, lovely restaurants! It is easy to get to either of the two main towns from here and the thing is, you won't much want to once you see this place and this area unless you LIKE to spend your vacation around the throngs of folks coming in on cruise ships. We went to that end of the island twice in a week and instead explored the ruins and museums and wineries on this end of the island with way less traffic and crowds and cruise ship folks. Next: the hospitality and staff at this particular hotel is just fantastic. You cannot do any better anywhere. Breakfast was delicious and will carry you through the day till dinner and there are SO many delicious dinner options within 5 minutes of your door. They picked us up (on VERY short notice might I add so thank you for that!) AND dropped us off at the airport (5 minute drive) and did this at 5 in the morning for us to leave. The pool is lovely and always clean and sparkling. Oh, and for those of you needing to test to get back into the states, there are options within a 5 minute drive for that as well. Highly recommend. Thank you for everything!
