I've stayed with my boyfriend for a couple of days. The staff is friendly, but totally unprofessional, they don't know how to serve properly. Many things were missing all the time, and staff do not speak english. I think the owners are unprofessional.
For the the prices we've payed we could have had so much more in any other destination.
I've heard that this hotel guests many celebritites (including, recently, the president of France and his wife) and I've heard about a violent episode involving a brazilian celebrity and the hotel staff over there, so this is was another turn off for me.

Txai is the thinking person's paradise. If you're looking for glitz and a social director this isn't the place for you.There are no TV's in the bungelows, instead it has beautiful views, silence, a pristine beach, hikes and lots of nature. The resort is engaged in various social and ecological projects such as helping local farmers with sustainable farming, saving the sea turtles and keeping the ocean front clean. We spent six days there and it was hard to leave. Our two room bungelow was comfortable, and tastefully decorated. The outdoor shower was a joy. It was a delight to find flowers strewn on our bed when we arrived. The food was fine and the staff was friendly. We indulged ourselves in a couples' massage,at the spa, which was lovely . We took two of their excursions, including one to a cocoa plantation, which was fascinating. We also took the van into town one night for dinner, which was fun. We'd go back in a heartbeat. Txai is well-designed and laid out to highlight the beauty of its natural surroundings.

We stayed with three young children at Txai resort last spring. We were seeking a Brazilian resort that would provide a great beach with cultural and ecological elements. Txai completely delivered. The kids surfed, saw baby turtles make there way to the ocean, did a hike into the rainforest with canoes, etc. Erasmus was the ring leader on the staff.

Breakfast in the morning was excellent and the staff lovely.

The rooms were fine and we really enjoyed the pool. We booked two adjacent rooms and traveled with a babysitter to man the youngest. There were several other families there with children too. However, it did not spoil the vibe for all the other guests seeking relaxation. The spa on the hill top was divine.

I would say that dinner got repetitive and recommend trips into Itacare for several nights during stay to break it up. The village is awesome, surfers everywhere really laid back with amazing art galleries and folk art.

I loved it and would highly recommend visiting this area and staying at Txai. The beach was endless and unspoiled. Undeveloped now-but sure to change someday.

OK this place is definitely nice. However when we arrived (after the dodgiest drive to the hotel) we were shown to our room (which was Bungalow 2 - and has the best view of the ocean) we were still very excited about this "amazing" resort that we had been told so much about. The rooms are nice, they are basic but they are nice, the shower and jacuzzi are fine (although our shower had no hot water) and the food is good. The staff are very friendly but they are also very slow. We sat for 40 minutes waiting for our girst drink at dinner one night .... and there were only about 20 people in the restaurant. The service on the beach was.... improving..... it is a private beach so you need to have beds there out to lie on ..... some days this just didn't happen and you had to hunt for a lifeghuard / assistant to set them up. All in all it was a nice stay, but I wouldn't go back. We spoke to other couples there who all said exactly the same and everyone was a little disappointed. We took it up with management and they said that they are aware of the issues and are trying to rectify. It also is starting to look a little tired.... this please needs a big shake-up before we will visit it again!
