I don’t know where to begin on this place. Perfection is the only way to describe it. The hotel is located in the lushest nature you can imagine, but within walking distance of the tropical paradise town of Itacaré, which is cute, fun and safe. The beach next to the hotel (which is public) is picture perfect. The hotel and grounds are pristine. We stayed at villa 21, and had a team of 6 housekeepers and cooks in rotating shifts from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm, who were incredibly sweet and catered to our every needs. We had the most incredible meals cooked for us - it takes some work choosing all the options in advance, but once there everything is taken care of and the feeling is one of absolute serenity, peace and relaxation. I have never experienced anything like it. Try as I might, I can’t find any fault with this place. In absolute figures, it’s expensive. But looking at what you get for the money, it’s a deal. I’m so grateful for the experience, and will be back. Thank you to the whole team at the Barracuda.
