The Portuguese fort circa 1515, on a precipice of rock overlooking the sea. It was an important point of control for both Portuguese and Dutch, who tried to extract gold and, in the case of the Dutch, produce cotton in the area. The Dutch installed a commandant here who was on the same level as those from Accra or Ouidah (present day Benin) on the Dutch Slave Coast.
With infinity pools and hot tubs on its own private cove where terraces look over the sea, it really speaks of class and ambience.
another maybe slightly less exuberant beach resort with pool, spa, beach access, bar/restaurant, wifi.
While the community is small enough to be walkable, you'll probably want transportation of some sort to go to the fort and beaches, etc.
