Great beach, and that is it! I went with my family of 5 over the easter holiday 2012, and was terribly disappointed. Poor food, took for ages to check in, old and stuffy rooms.... and the price!!!! Not worth it.

We were upgraded to a beautiful suite with great views, room was well decorated and clean, beach delightful, food more than adequate. Lots of kids, but they were not too disturbing.

The reception of the hotel, by the time we arrived, is below comments, to say the least. We were in 9 (2 10 months twins) and the next day we'd be 11. Despite the reservations mentioning that 2 babies would be arriving, the reception sent my daughter (mother of the twins) to a Vila (as they call the cluster of... More

This is where the Brazilians go to vacation. The beach is excellent, the resort is fully equipped with everything one would need and is very clean and well maintained. The staff are excellent. true, few of them speak English or Spanish, but for us, that just added to the charm. We got whatever we wanted or needed using the international... More

First time in Brazil and it was an enjoyable stay. From what I understand, the resort was very nice by Brazil standards, but to me it felt a bit dated and really could have been cleaner.

You can read my general overview from last year (Jan 9, 2011) - generally, everything is the same (and that's good). It was good enough for us to go to the same place again... Some differences we noticed: the food was much better over all. Specifically, there were much more healthy food alternatives in the different buffets: lots of veggies... More

If you are planning a family vacation and looking for an all purpose beach resort, this is the place to go! The resort is quite large with 1200 rooms and 8 different categories. There are many fun activities for the whole family, like hiking, surfing, yoga lessons, tennis courts and even a gorgeous golf course! My friend and I decided... More

Me and my family had a great time in Costao. Great rooms (although, bathroom is a little bit old), lots of swiming pools and attractions. Good staff. But there's a but: when you're at the restaurants seems like you're not in the hotel anymore. Overpriced food and the staff are visibly unconfortable of working there. You have to beg for... More
