Favorite place we stayed on our trip and probably one of our favorite places of all time! The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and helped answer all questions we had. Our hotel room was so comfortable. Entire facility kept clean. We loved the pool area and spa services. And the food offered in their restaurant/dining area was always delicious.

Excellent hotel and wonderful staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. A gem in Nordeste and definitely worth a visit. Breakfast was good, swimming pool and sauna were a treat, and dinner at the hotel was great. A quiet, quaint town and we loved that. Close to beautiful views and awesome hiking trails. Convenient location to walk around town. Overall a 5 out of 5!

Extremely gorgeous property with hospitable staff. The restaurant at the hotel is phenomenal and we ate there almost every night of our stay. The rooms are a nice size and the beds were super comfortable. I think every room has a spectacular view of the ocean. Only issue we experienced was thermostat in room...its centrally controlled by the hotel and our room was a little on the warm side.
