What travelers are saying
- Baggio1018London, UK377 contributionsWe regret not checking the tide times ahead of time to pick a good time to visit, low tide was earlier in the morning (and we were not staying nearby), so we missed the best time.
We ended up going during high tide, so the water was chilly, the waves were strong and we spent most of the time holding onto the ropes to stay upright.
Bring some waterproof shoes, an action cam strapped to your head if visiting during high tide and it can still be enjoyable.

The staff are real friendly too. It’s five green stars all the way. What is different is you get organically grown sweet pineapples thriving on a small island 885 miles from anywhere with no bugs to attack the shrubs and not a pesticide in sight.
We visited two long tunnel glass greenhouses on site but I guess there was a dozen or more there. Most of the glass was painted white as sunlight burns the plants.
We saw the growth cycle from a side shoot through to mature fruit that takes about a year from birth. It is much prized here and sells for €8 a kilo locally.
They have a tasting cafe where we had pineapple liquor, pineapple jam and a pineapple tart similar to pastel de nata.
There was a great variety of goodies and we bought the liquor (20 proof) pineapple jam generously full of fruit and pineapple beer over 5%.
What’s most important is that this place is the anthesis of going to supermarkets for fruit that’s grown with pesticides and mass production or buying over sugared jam in a supermarket. No thanks. I’ll pay a few euro more and be grateful places like this still exist.
