The food at the Buffet was much better than what excepted and had something different each day. Didn´t like the seafood and rodizio restaurant that much, all the... More

I was looking for a place to rest after 6 years without decent vacations. Thought a resort would be calm and relaxing. Ended up finding myself with my family in this fantastic place, sparking great energy and enthusiasm. Everything in this trip was terrific, food, drinks, beach, swimming pools, employees care. I am already planning my next stay there.

One of the most expensive resorts in Brazil should have a better food quality in the main buffet. We stayed there for 7 days and the food was terrible from the first dinner to the last breakfast. On the second day we made a complaint with the Chef and the Guest relations but nothing changed. Not only the ingredients quality... More
