Hotel Roca Sundy
The Hotel Roca Sundy is a beautifully a restored Colonial house, set on a large cacao plantation surrounded by tropical forest.
The Hotel Roca Sundy is great place to stay if you want to understand the island’s colonial past. This old plantation estate was once one of the largest cacao plantations on the islands. It lay empty for decades and was sloly being reclaimed by the jungle. Recently the buildings underwent a complete restoration as part of a sustainable tourism project. The result is a beautifully restored hideaway, with just twelve rooms split between the Colonial House and Plantation House next door. The spacious rooms are exquisitely furnished with traditional colonial-style pieces salvaged from the original house. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the central square, and others look out over the rainforest.
It’s wonderful to sit on the veranda at Hotel Roca Sundy and enjoy delicious dinners prepared with organic produce from the the Roca’s own plantation garden. Of course, there will always be a dessert on the menu made with high-quality chocolate from the islands!
