Fantastic hotel. Expensive, yes, but amazing location, great food and great service. If you're…read morelooking to treat yourself for a special occasion or just because you deserve it, go here. It's about a 40 min drive from Florianopolis airport. The place is spectacular and you sometimes feel like you are the only people there. The hotel has 25 bungalows and is pretty much for couples only (no kids allowed). The rates include a great tasting menu breakfast (totally new each day). The restaurant for lunch & dinner (not incl) is superb and the light bites you can order at the beach are terrific (don't miss the bolinhos de bacalhau). The prices of things once the hotel are reasonable whether it's meals, massages, etc. The staff are very friendly and eager to help. A lot of them do not speak any English, but there's usually a English speaker nearby who will come right over to help. Overall, highly recommend it. (Nov 2013).
