The Resort is located in a beautiful area. The private beach, in particular, is amazing. One of the best Resorts I have been to and the best hotel in Brazil. Most staff is fluent in English and they seek to anticipate your needs. Attention to detail here that you expect at a luxury resort. High standards will remind you of US and European resorts.
