Lo unico que aporta este hotel es la ubicacion pero pagando un precio muy elevado por ello.

    “Sem dúvidas, uma das melhores experiências de hospedagem que já tive. O quarto era muito confortável e contava com uma vista maravilhosa para o mar. As instalações são belíssimas e se integram de forma harmoniosa à natureza ao redor. Um dos grandes diferenciais foi a possibilidade de observar diversos animais silvestres que vivem na mata, proporcionando encontros únicos e encantadores sem que houvesse interferência no ambiente natural. A comida é excelente, o atendimento foi sempre muito cordial e atencioso, e a praia privativa oferece um nível de conforto e tranquilidade que merece destaque. Foi uma experiência completa, combinando contato com a natureza, conforto, boa gastronomia e um serviço de alta qualidade.”

    “This hotel is not worth the money, terrible tiny room, children were stomping all night above us and we couldn’t sleep. We asked the front desk the next day and they said they check out - not true the same family was above us again. We left the next day- gorgeous views- room pictures online are a lie and front desk does not value a quiet nights rest”
