The hotel provides a comfortable base from which to explore the island of Santa Cruz. The harbour, town centre with its shops and restaurants and Las Ninfas lagoon are an easy walk away. The hotel provides free bicycles if you want to range a little further afield. Staff are happy to advise on local attractions and places of interest you can visit during your stay and can help you organise excursions and activities including hiking and kayaking.
