So
there
are
two
perspectives
you
can
have
on
this
place:
as
an
accommodation
or
as
an
overall
experience.
On
both
I
would
give
it
the
highest
score.
I
will
try
to
write
a
thorough
review,
for
those
thinking
about
coming
to
this
place.
As
“only”
an
accommodation,
it
is
spot
on
as
described:
a
nice,
clean
house
with
big,
well
set-up
common
areas,
modern-decorated
basic
rooms
and
bathrooms
and
a
daily
decent
breakfast.
Great
location:
5
minute
walk
to
the
beach,
close
to
restaurants/shops,
etc.,
and
the
lodge
has
a
cool
pool
that
guests
can
use.
You
get
exactly
what
you
expect
and
what
you
paid
for.
(Due
to
corona,
what
was
previously
a
most-likely
easy
buffet
set-up,
has
had
to
be
adapted
to
follow
corona
regulations,
which
is
obviously
tricky
in
all
hospitality
environments.
The
team
is
super
patient
and
helpful
to
get
all
your
requests
taken
care
of.
I
particularly
liked
the
pancakes!)
For
the
overall
experience
I
would
give
it
another
additional
star
if
possible.
Everything
about
this
place
makes
you
want
to
come
back
and
it
is
perfect
for
any
kind
of
trip
that
people
would
want
to
do.
Couples-trip,
sisters,
friends
or
even
solo.
There
is
usually
one
group
activity
organized
by
the
team
every
evening
(dinner,
bbq,
pool
party,
yoga,
wine-tasting)
and
you
are
free
to
join
in,
if
you
want.
If
you
don’t,
there
is
no
issue.
I
think
this
is
what
makes
the
week
here
appropriate
for
every
kind
of
trip.
You
have
enough
time
on
your
own,
but
also
have
time
to
hang-out
with
others.
Dinner
is
very
affordable
and
good,
so
it
is
a
good
option
if
you
do
not
want
to
find
a
restaurant.
I
think
most
people
join
at
least
3
out
of
5
times
during
the
week.
Obviously,
depending
on
who
is
staying
there
at
the
same
time
as
you
are,
the
joint
activities
can
turn
into
a
lot
of
fun,
and
many
evenings
a
lot
of
people
sit
together
to
have
a
beer
or
two
in
the
evening.
The
surf
course:
it
is
so
good!
Disclaimer:
Manage
your
expectations.
The
more
you
speak
to
people
who
surf
the
clearer
one
thing
becomes.
NOBODY
can
teach
you
how
to
surf.
It
is
not
even
the
same
as
going
to
ski
school.
To
be
able
to
surf
you
need
to
put
in
the
hours,
swallow
the
water,
and
do
it
all
over
again
many
many
times.
HOWEVER,
the
surf
instructors
are
great.
I
have
never
met
more
positive
people
that
thoroughly
enjoy
what
they
do
as
much
as
they
do.
They
will
also
give
you
the
confidence
to
try
things
out.
Also,
you
will
most
likely
be
able
to
stand
up
on
the
board,
which
without
them
you
most
likely
wouldn’t
be
able
to
do
on
your
first
week.
One
more
thing
worth
mentioning
is
maybe
all
the
work
that
is
put
behind
the
scenes:
as
soon
as
you
get
there
you
will
be
introduced
to
the
team:
Manager,
Teamers,
Yoga
Instructor,
Cook,
etc.
and
these
guys
make
all
the
difference.
Yes,
for
the
most
part
they
are
responsible
for
you
being
comfortable,
and
they
take
these
responsibilities
seriously,
but
at
the
same
time,
they
are
super
friendly.
They
all
live
there
and
week
after
week
they
make
sure
that
the
new
guests
that
come
feel
comfortable
and
get
good
vibes
only.
Thanks
to
the
team
over
there
for
making
sure
everything
was
spot
on.
Not
really
an
easy
balance
to
achieve.
Personal
recommendations:
ask
the
surf
instructors
to
recommend
you
their
favourite
food,
partake
on
the
wine
and
cheese
night
(the
manager
of
the
Portugal
camps
gives
a
great
introduction
to
the
Portuguese
wines
of
the
area),
take
a
skateboard
for
a
ride
along
the
promenade
by
the
beach
and
take
your
board
out
at
least
twice
a
day!
