We had two of the Chale (Barracuda and Garoupa) and a regular room (suite Premium) - stayed there…read morewith some of our family. Each Chale is for four people, with two bedrooms/ bathrooms each. Private terraces off of each bedroom as well as a very large terrace off the main living area. Full kitchen with charcoal bbq (churrasqueira). Large sitting area. AMENITIES - one main pool and lounge area, off of the main bar. Tennis courts, snooker/pool table and two indoor jacuzzis. There is also a full restaurant with a complimentary continental breakfast. FOOD - we ordered food (calamari, shrimp, french fries and oysters) and drinks when we first arrived. Average at best and we ended up cancelling our dinner reservation (for 10 people) there after tasting the food. The best part? There are charcoal bbqs (churrasqueiras) in each Chale, so we went to the supermarket (about 25mins drive) and bought a bunch of food and drinks and had a great dinner in the Chale. Highly recommend doing this if you have the option. ROOMS - MOST. STAIRS. EVER. The website says nothing about this. Pictures on the website don't show this. It was seriously challenging. If you have any sort of difficulty with stairs, this is not the place for you. No handrails. Our parents found it extremely difficult and tended to want to just stay in the room because of the amount of and difficulty traversing the stairs to and from the rooms. Even our younger cousins that had a regular room mentioned the absurd amount of stairs. Big thank you to the staff, especially Vicente, for helping us with our luggage and groceries while we were there. Even the restaurant had a ton of stairs to get up to it. Aside from the stairs, the Chale itself was beautiful and spacious, even with a giant spider or two (seriously inspect your room/ bed as they are often inside your accommodation). OVERALL - if you have a Chale where you can cook for yourself and don't mind a serious stairs workout, the rooms and views are spectacular. - Not on the beach (15mins drive) - Access can be tricky if raining as roads are not paved - staff does NOT speak English - There is only one Chale Master (with private jacuzzi) so plan ahead if that is what you want

Stayed here for New Year's because we had bought VIP tickets to Green Valley for New Years and all…read moreof the hotels in Balneario were completely booked. Price here for New Years was VERY reasonable. You'll need to pay up front to get a room. Either pay when you make the reservation or pay once you check in. Free wifi available. They have a restaurant located in a building outside of the hotel where they also serve breakfast. The staff here is helpful and the rooms are enough. Don't expect spa/5* treatment here. That being said, you won't leave here unhappy. This is a good place to stop for the night and continue on your trip. fyi... they accept visa and mastercard only.

Kaloa Eco Village is situated right between Bombinhas and Bombas and very close to the Bombinhas…read morebeach. Before talking about this pousada, please note there are much nicer beaches and I wouldn't plan to stay here because of the Bombinhas beach - my fav beaches here are Conceição, Tainha and Quatro Ilhas. Back to this place, price/quality is really good!! The area has a jungle vibe and it is very pleasant! It has 2 pools, one indoor and one outdoor. The outdoor one has also a bar. The room we stayed was of a very good size and very clean. Staff was also extremely friendly and always helpful. Only pet peeve for me was that the breakfast was only as shown by them on their sites during the weekend. During the week the breakfast had a substantially smaller selection. This was certainly because they had way fewer guest in the weekdays. Pro tip if you stay is that you can still ask some of the items from the weekend tot he friendly staff and they will get it for you!

Cozy little hotel in the heart of Brusque. The hotel staff was very nice, although most spoke…read morePortuguese. I was able to find one younger male at the front desk who spoke English and helped me throughout my trip with translation. I failed to catch his name, but he took my room service order and delivered it the first night I stayed, helped me find a local dinner spot another night, and helped with my payment questions for my stay. As for my room, it was spacious and the bed was super comfy. The shower was nice, although bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The ones they leave you in pouches are pure garbage. Street traffic was noisy, even at 9 floors up, but I think that's common for the area. The breakfast buffet is included and has a lot of options. I would stay here again.

It is a great family oriented and typical Italian cantina restaurant. Very accommodating and have…read moreabove average food. All traditional Italian dishes were served in a buffet style. This Cantina Italiana was a the place my fiancé and I chosen to have our Engagement Dinner. We combined my family in one side of table and her family on the other side of the long table they were very graceful in setting it up for us. We had people coming from 9 different cities and 2 countries and they all loved the place. The well Italian decorated ambieance that made everyone feel that they were in Italy. They also were very accommodating in allowing us to bring our wine as well as consume theirs. We brought like 6 bottles and consumed about 5 from them. I 100% recommend this fabulous traditional Italian Cantina in the heart of Italian colony area of Santa Catarina. Wonderful people.

Heat does not work, front desk said they don't have anything to do with the heat or AC so...I guess…read moreno heat then. Asked for extra pillows got pillows with no pillow cases gross. Handicapped room shower is not graded right so the bathroom floods and you have to use your feet and towels to swab the water toward the floor drain. Floor is slippery when wet which is not good. Rooms are small and noisy facing the front (McDonalds view). No kettle or coffee in the room. Decent breakfast - update the manager moved us to a different and much better room in the morning.
