we stayed in a very nice, new apartment Orquidea (some apartments looked older and darker) with a great view; the garden is beautiful, there is a pool (not heated) and small football ground; the whole area is walled and the gate is always closed, so great and safe for kids to run about. V good location for exploring the island; but the immediate surroundings are not interesting at all; there is an agricultural "cooperativa" nearby, so with the wrong wind you can smell the chicken farm... (in our case, parts of 2 evenings out of 6, so still fine). the quality ot price relation is very good, so definitely a place to recommend!
