This is a beautiful boutique hotel on the wonderfully peaceful fourth beach. There are many plus points e.g. room size, amenities (DVD library, DVD player in room, shuttle bus into 'town') and a superb restaurant. Just a couple of minus points to note: the temperature of the air con machine in the room is set despite what it says on... More

My husband and I spent the last 6 days of our honeymoon at the Anima hotel and had a wonderful time here. We were in a superior bungalow with jacuzzi and the bungalow had everything you needed - hairdryer, dvd player, tv, mini bar etc - huge bed with mosquito net. The hotel is just beautiful, on the 4th beach... More

It was everything advertised. Beautiful, quiet, very good food. The travelling to and from the village is not pleasant (long and very bumpy), but since the menu is varied and the food delicious we felt no need to go into the village more than once, just to have a look around. 4.5 days relaxing at the hotel were great -...

My husband and I had a wonderful 5-day stay at the Anima in November 2011. It was perfect. We had a lovely bungalow (comfortable bed, huge bathroom, air con if you want it) set amongst coconut palms and flowering tropical plants. Service was excellent - from reception to the managers to the staff serving expertly-made caipirinhas. We dined at the... More

But as other reviewers have mentioned there is a shuttle (VW van) that takes you back and forth for free. The grounds are well kept and... More

Anima hotel is located 30 minutes beyond a busy tourist village in front of a beautiful ample and wild beach where guests watch the tide fill and drench the wide band of sand, while they recline comfortably in the shade of bamboo pergolas, or from colorful hammocks stretched among the palm trees, sipping tropical drinks and eating delicious local snacks....

This has to be the most amazing place I have ever been too!! Not only is this island of Morro beautiful in itself, but the Anima hotel is the most pretty, confortable and cozy place in the island! The location is perfect, two steps from a wonderful beach, the nature surrounding the place makes it chilled and inspiring. The bunglaows... More

Excellent well-managed and well-staffed hotel. Great restaurant & bar - do not need to leave the place! Quiet, secluded, romantic. Individual villas. Praia Encanto is about 30 mins from main town, but hotel runs a shuttle service. If you want wild parties, this is not the place to be. More
