We arrived in the middle of the night but were received very friendly (with an upgrade and a plate of fruit) and this was only an example of the hospitality we experienced during the rest of our seven day stay. The pool, the beach and the garden are fantastic. The room was quiet and very nice with a king size bed and jacuzzi and a hammoc on the balcony. However, it was the ever-helpful staff that made our stay really wonderful. The hotel is a few miles from town but a shuttle with very friendly drivers (like Kleiber) ensure the neighbouring towns of Pipa and Tibau are easily reached. If you can afford it, treat yourself to an ' outdoor' massage overlooking the sea, you won't be disappointed.

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen and a fantastic hotel over it. Realy a great place!

Beautiful surroundings, very friendly staff, felt safe the whole time, some other tourists on the beach, yet never felt crowded, early morning walks on the beach, swimming with dolfins, SUPERB breakfast spread,10 min busride to "downtown"Pipa.

This hotel simply excellent! the view is magnificcient due to the cliff location. the staff of the hotel is extremely friendly and always ready to help you. The food at breakfast is very good quality, always something new to try out every day so the variety is very good. the juices of natural fruit simply delicious. Be aware that because of the excellent view of the hotel you need to go down 196 steps and then up!!! It's an excellent workout though so please eat up. The beach bar is very friendly and the food nice. However it's very expensive. If you can buy water in the village of Pipa as this is the most expensive thing at the hotel especially if you drink a lot. You can take a long walk to the Baia of golfinhos where you can see the dolphins if you are lucky. We managed to see them three days but because of the waves you don't get a clear view. On that beach as well there is a couple who sell bikinis on the beach, it's a very humble and nice couple so buy from them. You can also see a very popular bar there where the service is terrible and the quality of the food is not good at all!! If you want to take a trip out in a buggy negotiate the price in the pipa village with the actual drivers that you will see there. If you go with the hotel it's much too expensive. In Pipa, the best restaurant we went to is Risoteria in the main street, excellent quality of risottos and the meat as well, it's very small. The worst place is Lampião which is the restaurant you will see publicised everywhere and popular. The meat was soooo hard to chew!!! They served us three small bits of meat hard as shoe sole, the capifruta was like an icecream!! It was the most expensive restaurant and not worth it at all!!!
