Breakfast is delicious. Large variety of regional food, like Bolo de Estudante, Carima and Manioc cakes. For those not willing to venture beyond their comfort zone, you can enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice eggs and toast.

Wet bar could improve on drink selection and organization (sharing pens with clients and bartenders who are manipulating fresh fruit for drinks, not a good idea).

The staff were really helpful, fun and friendly. The private beach, being away from the crowd was good and there were a lot of activities to be done. The bus that was arranged by the hotel, though bumpy and a bit out of the way was on time and good. Breakfast was really good recommend the omelette station.

Would have been good to have some traditional dishes in the menu.

Pool. Kayaks. Quiet beach. Good quality food at fair prices.

A pleasant and scenic place to stay. Grounds are well cared for etc. I think it would be fun for a larger group (more than 1-2 rooms), as it’s a little more isolated for a solo traveler, though the shuttle works fine.

The airstrip used by Aerostar lands quite closeby. Other arrival types strike me as a bit inconvenient given the majority of the island is pedestrian-only. However, in the centrinho/vila (almost 20 mins by shuttle bc the main road used is unsuitable for speed), this is certainly part of the charm.
