Wow, where do I even start? I just got back from this absolutely stunning resort, and I couldn't wait to share my thoughts! First off, the place is like something out of a postcard—truly a little slice of paradise. The scenery is breathtaking, with lush greenery and clear waters that make you feel like you've stepped into a dream. Seriously, if you need a visual reset, this is it!
 
Now let’s talk about the food. Oh my goodness, I can honestly say some of the best meals I've ever had in a resort setting came from this place. The variety was incredible, and every dish was packed with some French and Brazilian flavors. They really don’t hold back when it comes to quality.
 
And can we discuss the service? The staff here are simply amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure your stay is nothing short of perfect. From the friendly greetings to the attentive service during meals, you really feel valued and taken care of, which makes a huge difference in your overall experience.
 
The resort has an amazing tourism agency office (near the main reception) where you can set up day trips to nearby tourist locations around the resort; the most popular are Ilha Grande, Paraty, and, of course, Rio de Janeiro.
I need to make a special mention to Andrea, who works in the tourism agency and was so kind to help us set up a special trip to Rio de Janeiro. She definitely read our needs and told us that it would be better to not go with a scheduled trip to Rio, so she suggested that it would be much better to set up a designated driver, especially for our family, that could move us around Rio at our own pace and select places that kids would like.
 
So the next day, at 8 a.m., we start our trip to Rio with our designated driver, Raphael Ravaiole (the best of the best!). He makes our trip so much nicer, and he perfectly handles the trip which wasn’t that short (almost 3 hours, including the heavy traffic that is traveling through the coast), giving us tips, some history of the places we drove by, and also talking and responding to the funny questions our daughter asked him. I couldn’t be more grateful for this experience because he gave us calm and security that our trip to Rio with the kids would be safe, and so it was. He always gave us tips before leaving the car; it always responded through WhatsApp when we ended our visits; and it always got on time when we left the places. In sum, we drove over Barra Tijuca, Ipanema, and Copacabana, and then we went to Pao de Azucar, the Rio Aquarium, and RioSul Shopping all in one day, so I can’t recommend enough Raphael. He is the best driver if you want to make a trip like ours, especially with kids. I was amazed by his patience and kindness. He is the man!
 
The facilities are brand new and absolutely stunning! Everything from the pools to the rooms is designed beautifully, which is exactly what you want when you're on vacation. Plus, there's this impressive sports area that blew me away. Whether you’re into tennis, basketball, the gym, or any other activity, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
 
For families with kids, the Mini Club excels with activities for all ages. In our case, even though our kids wanted to be with us all the time (it happens, I know), that didn’t prevent us from using the kids pool extensively. I strongly recommend that if you have kids under 3, you could use the smallest pool beside the big one with trampolines. It is not deep, and our little kid (2 years) enjoyed it so much that he could play with us more freely and easily because the water gets just to his hips.
 
What I really loved is how family-friendly the resort is. It caters to all types of guests—from families with kids to couples just looking for a romantic getaway. You can tell that a lot of thought went into making this a cozy place for everyone. They really make it easy for families to unwind and enjoy themselves together.
 
Now, onto a couple of things that could use some tweaking. We happened to be there in July, and it was a bit cloudier than we expected. Of course, there's not much you can do about the weather, but it would’ve been nice to have the sunshine basking us all day! Also, I noticed that there could be a few more benches in the kids' play area. It would be great for parents to have somewhere to sit and relax while keeping an eye on the little ones.
 
But honestly, those small drawbacks didn,t really take away from the incredible experience overall. I’d give this resort a solid thumbs up and highly recommend it for anyone who’s seeking a beautiful getaway filled with good food, amazing service, and plenty of fun for the whole family! I can’t wait to go back someday! 🌴✨

Everything is amazing, perfect service and cleanliness.
I had the best time thanks to all of the GO’s and the village boss, Andrea.
I will really suggest you get in touch with GO’s such as: Vitòria Lima, Dj Pet, Steffano, Livia, both of Luisa’s, Leandro, Roxo, Astral and Salú

Renovations going on, which are badly needed but mean it is very noisy, dusty and dirty.

The service is not good.

The activities are ok, but rather disappointing. The kayaking is really good.

Food is too heavy, salty and unhealthy in general for us. The fruit is delicious however.

The rooms are terrible, they need completely renovating . Maybe in a year the hotel will be better.

The beach bar is really horrid, very cheap looking. Again maybe when renovations are complete it will be better.

Right now it’s a complete dump. The kids are happy by the pool but I’m counting the days to leave.

I do not recommend it.
