We experienced an issue with the massage service, but the manager addressed it promptly and ensured we were not at a loss.

We enjoyed it, but unfortunately, we didn’t check the weather, so it couldn’t have been truly enjoyable.

The main difficulty with Casa Luz is physical accessibility: it is easy enough to get a taxi to drive you from Paraty bus station or centre to the hotel, but to actually reach the reception desk, you have to either walk or get a lift down their extremely steep and windy driveway. The hotel was amazingly helpful and they had a valet pick us up from the top of the driveway and drive us down; he also carried our suitcase to our room. This all worked perfectly well for us as an able-bodied couple. However, if you struggle with your mobility, note that there is no way to navigate this property with a wheelchair or if you cannot handle stairs.

The location was gorgeous, the staff were really lovely and helpful with everything we needed. The restaurant was exceptional--Michelin-star level cuisine, made with locally sourced ingredients, very reasonably priced, and the dishes we tried were unlike anything I'd tasted before. Just stunning. My partner and I were on our honeymoon and the staff had left us a complimentary bottle of champagne, a personal note, and delicious handmade chocolate in the room, for the occasion. We appreciated the care and attention so much and we had the most amazing honeymoon. We can't wait to go back to Casa Luz. We also booked in for a couples massage, which was absolutely brilliant. We are both picky and particular when it comes to massage/physical therapy and we were really impressed, as well as healed, by the experience.

I cannot think of anything.

So unique perched on the hill with its own little beach and gorgeous views, wonderful, friendly and thoughtful, helpful staff and owner, clean room with good AC and peaceful balcony overlooking the ocean. Unique food experiences. Quick taxi ride to Paraty town. My friends and I highly recommend Casa Luz Paraty.

The restaurant was a little limited in terms of variety but the falafel wrap was lunch was incredible

The room and balcony view were excellent, and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Swimming pool was perfect and the sea was lovely, cute monkeys though they shouldn’t be fed!

The service was quite bad. Something went wrong every single day

Very beautifully designed property, private beach, little pool, little yoga/fitness studio. Nice bar and restaurant

A very special place that we love and have come back for our second time here in less than 6 months , it has a magical and relaxing feel to it , the nature , the scenery , the music and the staff , especially Carolina that served our breakfast every morning and Thiago at the reception desk made us feel extremely welcomed back.

All was just a 10.

Everything. This place has a special soul and every detail has been taken care. The design of every room, corner, is done with love and care to make sure you can enjoy nature.

It it is quite steep - but it is worth it.

Perfect breakfast and a fantastic restaurant. It is a bit far frem Paraty, but the location is perfect, if your are looking for a peaceful place with great views of the sea and islands.

That we couldn’t stay longer due to work related reasons.

The location is paradise. Staff made us feel like home. In particular, the gastronomic tour around the property with the chef Rafael and Fernando, learning about the Atlantic forest vegetation and then eating what we collected in amazing dishes created by chef Morente was from another planet. Breakfast was just incredible, the sounds of cicadas at sunrise and sunset, their cocktails creations, the local art one can see on their walls, the beach, the power of nature.

whilst not a big problem , the first day breakfast was a bit disorganised

location and personnel

Stayed in November 2022

The rooms are very humid but in general all the hotels we’ve been arround was humid like that so I know it’s not the fault of the hotel itself In the bungalow there was bed bugs, the cost to be in the middle of the jungle I guess .. The swimming pool got only 4 beds so we can not really use it In general we LOVE this place and felt like home ♥️

We actually spent 2 other nights cause we loved the place We’ve tried different kinds of rooms, the cabana that is in the Jungle, the Bungalow & the usual room in the mansion. We loved the fact that you feel totally under the nature but feel safe in a good bed during night. Each rooms got a terrace so you can spend time listening to nature & sea The food of the restaurant is super good breakfast & others The staff is very reactive to everything and very kind I recommend 1000% to spend time in this paradise Thanks for everything

A little far from town, restaurant and other services inside are expensive. Garage is a little difficult to access and smaller cars have trouble getting out when it rains, and may have you unable to leave

Private beach, restaurant inside the premises, beautiful view

Stayed in October 2022

Restaurant food was really expensive and not versatile. Food was very small portions for breakfast and lunch. Resort has a private beach but the sunshine left the beach at 10am leaving it shady for the rest of the day (June) Also very far from any shops to buy basic necessities.

Quiet, beside the beach, monkeys!

Stayed in June 2025

Overpriced. No coffee/tea service in the rooms. Water in cans in the minibar (supposedly for environmental reasons, but really just to charge even for water). Breakfast options stale and lacking in flavor (flaky tapiocas, no fruits). Not much privacy in any of the two rooms booked (one just behind the reception, the other under the restaurant, both noisy while the establishment is operating). Property located on a curve of a busy highway, with no curbside, making the access dangerous. Parking area reachable through a dangerously steep ramp.

Location on a little nook of the coast, with a beautiful view of the ocean and the rocky shoreline. Kind, attentive service.
