serene getaway near the coast
multiple pools convenient walk relaxing massage direct path
i spent a relaxing few days here this year and found many aspects quite satisfying. the multiple pools provided ample space for swimming and lounging, and the walk to the nearby beach was very convenient. the hotel spa offered several treatments, and i liked the massage i received! there was a direct path to the beautiful praia sao rafael.
The breakfast buffet was good though it sometimes got a little crowded during peak hours. this made getting a table slightly difficult at times. It was only a minor inconvenience though

Balanced experience at this location
multiple pools beautiful beach slow service insufficient sunbeds
I appreciated the short walk to Praia Sao Rafael. the beach was beautiful, and a little restaurant there was great. I also liked the multiple pools available for use. It provided options for relaxation.
I found the staff was undertrained at times. i waited over twenty minutes for a drink order during breakfast. It was frustrating. the hotel also had insufficient sunbeds available. i noticed not enough sunbeds existed for the size of the hotel.
