It is a perfect place to disconnect and relax. The location is excellent and the facilities are very tasteful and comfortable. The host is very generous and attentive to guests. The breakfast's view and sunset are divine!

This was a very special place to stay. Stunning scenery and very peaceful. Cecilia and the staff were extremely kind and helpful. We loved having breakfast overlooking the sea and observing the stars at night.

The fortress is an impressive building. Cecilia is a very welcoming host. Breakfast was simple and good. Amazing coffee.
There is no direct access to the beach, you have to go to Cabanas and face the crowds to get the taxiboat. There is no meals service available in the fort, you have to drive to Cabanas to have dinner in jammed restaurants - this spoiled the quietness we were looking for. Some bedrooms have no AC which is not acceptable. Bedrooms are poorly furnished: it lacks a coffee/ tea pots even a trash bin is lacking. Mattresses should be better as the bed linen and pillows- standard should definitely be raised. Toiletries are minimal hairblower not available. Lacks information about the fortress. This is a place with a huge potential to provide singular & unique experiences but it needs more imagination and professionalism.
