We spent a five day minivacation here, and must say, the place itself is great. Beautiful pool and beach area, nicely decorated areas and very peaceful location. We had the Suite, which has groovy decoration with a large private terrace overlooking the pool and the sea, really worth it! The other room for children was really small and dark, so... More

We tried to eat in the Japanese Sushi bar in the low season, when all restaurants are empty. We were a party of six but the rude attendant at the reception didn't let us in although we drove 30 mins. just to get there. I have never felt less invited in my life ! The word hospitality must be completely... More

Simply fantastic. They really go the extra mile to accommodate you, from breakfast running until 1pm (because everybody appreciates a lay in when on holidays) to private beds in the sun to all guests. The food was great, staff very attentive and friendly, they offer you free paddling, kayaking and other aquatic sports that keep you busy throughout the day,... More

I am not sure if it worth the title of "Best Beach Hotel" in South America, but it is regally a great hotel! Nice location, great service, awesome food! On reservations ask for a room on the beach side of the hotel (there are rooms on both sides of the road. On the "other" side you must cross the road... More

We went to this wonderful hotel for 4 days, and we loved it. To get there we flew to Sao Paulo and took the bus to Sao Sebastiao, later the ferry to the island and then a taxi from the port. It took a while but it´s very easy to reach. We stayed in the rooms at the other side... More

Fantastic boutique bed rooms with an amazing view of the beach. The staff were brilliant - friendly and helpful - particularly as Brits who cannot speak any Portuguese. The Spa was great and the...

I stayed at the DPNY twice this year and It sure is the best beach hotel in Brazil. I have been to the northeast (Salvador, Fortaleza, Fernando de Noronha, Recife, etc), but this southern hotel is by far the best of all that I have visited. The rooms are very fine decorated, with a very comfortable king size bed. The... More

I have been 3 times in this hotel and it is really one of the best beach hotels in Brazil (Notably, we must consider that our hotels in Brazil are overall terrible). For a beach hotel in Brazil, this hotel is great, the rooms are simply perfect and breakfast is very good. Spa is nice, as well the swimming pool.... More

Where to start? Should start by everything that did not work to finish on a positiv note. My husband and i wished to spend a week in a beautiful place and relax, just being on a beautiful beach,read... Well, first, be aware that its not a BEACH Hotel its a CLUB HOTEL. You have music from early morning to late... More
