A town-beach hotel with a rooftop pool, close to everything on an island of short drives, at a price that leaves room for dinner out. Check availability for a sea-view double. A plain, renovated three-star on the island capital's town beach, with a rooftop pool and the old town on foot. You come back to sleep and swim, eat out in Arrecife, and the bill stays small.
It has a rooftop pool. A public beach is within walking distance.
History, a serious dinner and nine rooms of whitewash and old wood, for couples happy to drive to the beach. Check availability for Suite 06 or Room 08. Nine rooms in a 17th-century house in the old capital, with a serious dinner and no pool at all. It is a base for seeing the island and eating well, not for lying by the water.
There is no pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
