Hotel 96 is just what we were looking for in a summer break. A very comfortable room with a lovely bed, strong air conditioning(!) and a warm welcome. I get the feeling we were unusual staying 5 nights but there was plenty to do and see if you could bear the heat! We hired bikes from the hotel one day and cycled to the Prado beach for the day then another we took a taxi to the Centre - ville. The weather was wonderful and most days we had the lovely modern pool pretty much to ourselves. The resident dog was very sweet (we made a new friend!) and the lunch and dinner specially requested was delicious. We enjoyed raiding our mini bar and having a beer out on the terrace at night.
The only thing is that due to the location, having a car might have been a good idea. However there were still restaurants to go to locally walkable by foot in the village or cafe Ze which was a nice pizzeria after a pretty barren walk for 25 mins (persist - it was lovely food!)
As other reviews say - there is no bar or restaurant on site and no staff there after 7.30pm or so but that is part of the charm and why it is an oasis.
We are planning a trip back.
