Budget hotel, food available on property, quiet, bed not very comfortable. Needs updating, sofa was very stained but room was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, I would not stay there again and would spend a little more for better accommodations.

Beautiful, quiet hotel
We stayed for 2 nights at Esprit Libre. We had breakfast, lunch and one evening meal and all our meals were excellent. The small pool was a welcome haven after temperatures of 27 to 30 degrees. We had a junior suite and it was very modern, spacious and very comfortable. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. The free WiFi was especially appreciated - we were able to log on easily and quickly from outside (pool area, bar/restaurant) as well as from our room. Highly recommended.

Small friendly guest house
Stayed four nights in this small friendly guest house. Lovely beach 10 minutes walk away. Main village just under 4k ideal for those who want a few days of peace and relaxation but could become a little boring for longer periods as not much to do other than beach.
