    Our room had some noise from the bathroom which made it slightly difficult to sleep. Not a complaint, but if you’re traveling make sure to bring an adaptor as they don’t have one on the premises (although they were kind enough to offer to order one)

    Nice private beach, friendly staff, good restaurant just on the premises, clean room. The facilities are nice with a pool, jacuzzi and sauna + on demand yoga lessons.

    The rooms a little tired overall.

    The location is lovely on a small sandy beach in the forest with a bar terrace to watch the sunsets. A short kayak takes you to a variety of other beaches including the Lagoa Azul. The snorkelling is excellent with giant starfish, sea turtles and a good selection of other colourful fish. The food is excellent with a wide selection on the menu for dinner and a great spread for breakfast. The hotel is also directly on the hiking trails heading in both directions along the coast.

    Some small details can make it even better. The mini fridge in the room is subject to replacement, the pool towels are not always available. But really tiny details that are neglictible.

    A little paradise, with amazing views, and nicelye integrated in nature. The staff do everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A very good breakfast, fresh juices included, with seaview completed the setting.

    The shower was not working, only at the end of the third day. I had to ask for repair 5 times, but every time only cold water. Also not everything in the saunas or hot pool is working well. Hopefully, they will invest in provind a good infratsructure, if they will do, I will come back

    The room we were given (a four person room with sea view) was not entirely fitting with this hotel as it was clearly old staff/owner accommodation. It was cluttered, had a musty smell and was poorly insulated which meant that often the sheets felt damp. It didn’t feel spotlessly clean either. I didn’t see any of the other hotel rooms so can’t comment on if that would be any different. For this reason, I felt our room assigned wasn’t great value for money.

    The staff was so accommodating and kind and the hotel really is right on the beach. When the sun shines, you can’t beat it. Breakfast was great as you could order any eggs you like fresh. Lots of kayaks and beach activities too.

    The room and bathroom were clean but basic. But with that beautiful surroundings, you don't need more.

    We had a wonderful stay here for four nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The surroundings were stunning and peaceful, yet there were plenty of activities to enjoy, such as boat trips, kayaking, hiking, or simply relaxing on the beautiful beaches nearby. Restaurant was great!

    A few of the dishes on the menu are very similar to each other and some communal areas of the hotel could be kept a little tidier / cleaner with the staff being a little more attentive (mostly the beach and pool). Also room 8 has a very noisy a/c unit (we could hear it at night from room 9). We were told on arrival there was no yoga instructor either as they'd left (we had bought yoga kit as the pictures show there is a yoga studio and instructor) which was a little disappointing.

    Beautiful spot on a private beach, very secluded and felt special. Good restaurant and bar area and the pool / hot tub were nice as well. Free kayaks you can use in the day are a nice bonus. Perfect to spend a few chilled days here.

    The nature at its best, great staff, outdated facilities
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Superior Suite
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The property itself, although taken care of to a certain degree, looks somewhat tired and its best years have already passed. Additional maintenance is needed especially in the rooms where some beds have mold like smell. Also, the bathrooms are equipped with totally inconvenient fixed wall showers that do not allow proper body showering and they also increase the use of water. The beach, although very good is equipped with totally old and sometimes even unsuitable loungers and sunshades. After a two days it is quite possible that the majority of visitors will feel bored, especially after the sunset because there are no activities or a place where one could walk.

    The property is located within a wonderful and peaceful piece of nature. The beach is slightly above the average and the only tiny negative detail was its relatively sharp sand and partly its dark to black color. All in all the beach offers good privacy and wonderful swimming opportunities because of its calm sea. The bonus are free kayaks, snorkel equipment and wonderful possibility to enjoy the surrounding beaches and islands. but the minus are poor, outdated sunshades and loungers. Also, those interested in some easy hikes can enjoy a segment of the island circular trekking trail towards the old church or to the other side to reach the village of Bananal. The restaurant is good, the breakfasts are somewhat limited in offer, but in general quite satisfactory and the dinners are good, abundant and tasty, although somewhat on the pricey side as it is the case with drinks. The staff is very welcoming and ready to help and assist in every requirement. They are a real bonus of the property. All in all, I can conclude that this property was quite a convenient place for a break in our dynamic and long South American exploration

    Nothing. It was beautiful!

    This place is a true paradise. It's a little off the beaten path - coming from Rio, it was a 3 hour car ride followed by a 30 minute boat - but once you get there, it has absolutely everything you need. The hotel provides tons of beach toys and activities, along with chairs and towels. They also have a great restaurant and bar, which includes a great breakfast every morning. And the staff could not be nicer!

    We had booked 2 rooms, the larger one was very comfortable but the smaller suite was rather small, and had an unpleasant damp smell, although the location was great right beside the water.

    Amazing private beach setting on the island, backed by forest with direct access to the walking trail. Free kayaks, beach towels, lovely and friendly staff.
