    Pros +

    • The view, the surroundings
    • The place is really amazing, the room was very nice and the breakfast was very complete. You have a private beach you can access to, and the swimming pool is a good advantage in case you want to stay at the hotel and just enjoy the facilities.
    • the views, the cleanliness, the staff and mantainance. Also the breakfast and dinner was very good and good value too

    Cons -

    • The rooms selected were not given. I had chosen sea view but I did not get those
    • I believe the hotel is very far from the city center of Buzios... it took 15 minutes for the taxies to come and it was generally difficult to return. The entrance of the hotel is very far for someone to walk over there and take transportation in the route. Some may value this as an advantage because you have almost everything at the hotel, but if you want to visit the beaches and the center of Buzios it is something to consider.
    • i wouldn’t remark any bad thing

    Beautiful view in a nature reserve, lots of plants around with a nice breakfast. There is a private beach where you can see lots of islands, wild animals like a falcon for example and sometimes even horses from the farm next door.

    The houses are not very well maintained, doors get stuck in the hinges, there was a patch of mold in the bathroom. The outside area seems a bit neglected with the lights falling from the walls here and there, missing bricks on the floor. All in all it seems like it had its peak 10 years ago and they invested nothing since then.

    10RodrigoPosted on: 5-6-2024

    The beach is almost a private beach, since not too much people want/can access to it because it's a little bit far away the town

    We should have went by car...

    6BrandyeniPosted on: 1-2-2024

    The view, beach and pool

    There’s no earlier check-in, not enough towels, the bathroom trash can was very cheap and almost falling apart, internet would disconnect all the time and the hot tube is not actually hot just has the jets.

    The pool and the sight.

    A little far

    7ClaraPosted on: 7-6-2023

    Superb place, located in an ecological reserve on the beach. Guaranteed rest and total magic with the song of birds, the waves, the wind in the trees.Like I said, it is a magic place when you don't have neighbors and during very very low season.

    Sadly like every where in Brazil, even in Buzios and inside this reserve, the beaches, woods and sides of the roads are filled with trash, plastic bottes, building materials. Although there are trash cans everywhere in Brazil and signs requesting to use them, no one respects. It is the same with the signs "reduce speed, wildlife crossing". Not to mention that there is less and less wildlife and more and more abandoned dogs and cats wandering around.Only fines would stop those unconcerned citizens! Regarding the hotel, it IS beautiful and food is good. Nevertheless, back in you room, forget about resting. Air condition is noisy and most custumers use it because it is included in the price! you may enjoy yours neighbors' conversation and concert of all kind of noises. Here we go, the "charm" of living in a community !

    Exceed my expectations. Great location for a relaxing holiday. Friendly staff, excellent food.

    Amazing location, facilities, beach, breakfast, staff...

    8PiaPosted on: 4-8-2023

    Nice location directly on a small beach even though everything else (restaurants, supermarket, shopping) is pretty far from the hotel. You can definitely spend some nice relaxing days here staying on the beach/pool and going for some walks in the nature.

    It would be nice to have umbrellas for the sundbeds on the pool as they are directly in the sun all day.

    9SuziPosted on: 2-13-2023

    Nice property, on a very nice beach. Very quiet and in a nice surrounding. Good price quality, just too bad that not many people speak English. The beach is very clean compared to other beaches in the area. I would recommend this hotel to everyone.

    4RonaldPosted on: 1-6-2023

    It had a nice view and access to a private beach.

    1. The room was dirty and not well maintained, with stains on the towels, walls and mold on the walls;2. The bed was uncomfortable and linens were poor quality;3. Overall lack of cleanliness 4. The food choice and quality was fair at best. 5. The breakfast choice was the same every day. No variety for a five day stay was disappointing. 6. Resort doesn’t provide beach rental equipment such as umbrella or chairs. 7. The location is secluded and a 20-30 minute drive to Buzios’ city center.

    9PaulPosted on: 12-27-2022

    Everything was wonderful. Amazing view from our room great sized inground pool, nice food and drinks. the only thing i didn't like was the pool table was missing a pocket. I'm sure that would be an easy fix not sure why they would leave it like that

    9AlfredPosted on: 11-22-2022

    Not crowded, fun beach, quiet, friendly reception and breakfast staff

    Some of the common areas are in need of repair

    8EssencePosted on: 11-11-2022

    Amazing location! really helpful staff!

    some facilities are outdated and some where broken.

    6EstelaPosted on: 11-6-2022

    Reception staff are kind and 24h reception is always welcome. The view of the pool area is beautiful; The path to the private beach; Room is big; Wi-fi in the room is very good. Breakfast is not completely self-service (you order from a menu, but you can order as much as you want). you can see this as a positive in some ways like eating less and wasting less food, but also a negative for me of asking someone all the time for what I want. Another thing is that I saw some people eating things that were not on the menu and I was not informed about that.

    First of all, the 2km dirt road to get to the property from the main road, with big wholes and after a raining day is not very fun driving with a small car. Second, the whole property is very outdated, wood is rotted, no paint has been done in the outside in years, the mattress is not very comfy for me (my partner liked it). About the common areas: the pool area is beautiful due to the view but still needs major update; there is a very tiny spa to fit maybe 3, the game room is completely falling apart (pool table, foosball and poker table) probably still originals from when they open the hotel. I definitely miss a gym there. TV didn’t work. Wi-fi in common areas do not work well.

    7AlexandraPosted on: 8-3-2022

    the location is super great, it s very clean and room are on point

    reception staff needs some training about welcoming guests so they could provide a quality service ☹️
