Canto Leela is an unforgettable experience. We stayed there for 7 nights (myself, my wife and our 2yo boy) and it was great from booking to check out.

The balinese-style bungalow is very comfortable and is just like the pics from the website. Comfy mattress, very clean, towels and linen smell so great (this was a common review from other guests and it’s definitely true), aside from the location (30m from the gorgeous Serra Grande beach).

The breakfast offers freshly made tapiocas, local fruits etc. simple and delicious (Angelica and Alex were fantastic in accommodating our request - sincere thanks).

No lunch offered (they do have appetizers along the day and we knew that in advance, so no issue here - just a note for family trips as we did have to get lunch outside a few days: not a problem as it allowed us to visit some other places in the surroundings... see my reviews of Cabana Pe de Serra, Cabana da Empada and Toca da Tapioca).

There is a natural pool built by Niv (the owner and chef), great for relaxing after the beach... it’s really NATURAL with fish, plants etc. feels great!

Niv cooks thematic dinners every night: we had the local Muqueca one night, French the other night... there was also sushi/asian night and others but we went out to check on other restaurants. The other guests who were there those nights pretty much indicated that it was great overall. Each night had entrees, salad, main course and dessert: super good!

Silvina and Karen, the owners, are truly great hosts and made us feel at home throughout our stay. Thanks also to Fabiano for all the tips and for taking care of the garden and premises.

Serra Grande is a special place with special people. Enjoy with consciousness.
