Sjarmerende hotell nær stranden.
Dette er et lite og sjarmerende hotell borte fra de store all--inclusive resortene i Santa Maria. Hee får man personlig og tilpasset service av hotelleieren JC. Frokost serveres i solen hver morgen på takterrassen der man også får hyggelig kontakt med øvrige gjester. Hotellet ligger 5 min fra stranden og er omgitt av små butikker og restauranter. Perfekt hotell for vannsportere. Det også kort avstand til byens gågate og natteliv. Vi bodde 14 dager og koste oss masse. Kommer gjerne tilbake! PS. Vannmangel er et generelt problem i Santa Maria, men dette hotellet har en ekstra kilde i svømmebassenger på taket

JC ist ein super netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber und die Apartments sind modern und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück auf dem Dach ist sehr gesellig mit den anderen Gästen, wobei wir persönlich und eher mit JC verquatscht haben :)
Die Umgebung ist super, weil man nicht direkt im Zentrum wohnt, aber gleichzeitig das Zentrum nur einen Katzensprung entfernt ist.
Wir haben uns insgesamt sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wieder kommen. Wir können da Ocean Roof also nur wärmstens empfehlen.
