Fodor's Review:

With its dream location above a long beach, this modern hotel is a refuge for overworked city folk. Although the island is connected to the mainland by a causeway, it still feels remote. Earth tones, plump sofas, and terrific natural light—reflected off the Atlantic—are soothing. Public-area palettes continue in the guest rooms, which have wooden furniture, plush robes, soft slippers, and posh soaps. All bedrooms have a private balcony or patio. Although staffers are pleasant, service can be overly laid-back. If this causes you stress, unwind in the thalassotherapy spa, where treatments draw on the benefits of seawater, or head out on a golf, fishing, or horseback-riding excursion. Pros: Atlantic views and breezes; stylish contemporary decor. Cons: shares beach with huge crowds in July and August; 3 km (2 mi) outside town; no neighboring bars or restaurants.
