When we arrived it was quite warm but no blazing hot sun and we thought we were in for a mixed week weather wise. Our initial view of the hotel, The Pestana Carlton, was quite good and on the whole it was a quite a nice place but could have done with Channel 4 on the telly and free wifi in the rooms. The pool area was lovely and we had a nice room, with a view from the balcony out onto the ocean.
There was a model of the hotel which had the "Tracey Island" feel about it but either there were no disasters this week or there were no hidden rocket ships.
The first night we eat close by and had some nice food. I had the fish skewer thing whilst my wife went for the fish in a curry sauce with a banana, which appears to be a local delicacy.
We also started the week of liquor coffee's (cointreau not whiskey), which seemed to come with a straw, which was actually quite a good idea, as you didn't burn your lips on the hot coffee, just your tongue.
