"The pool bartender made the best caipirinhas. The room was very clean and property was well maintained. The breakfast was good and staff helpful and friendly. It is about a 10 minute walk to town, we walked every day. It is uphill on the way back so it was a good workout. If you don’t want a steep uphill walk on the way back, consider driving or a taxi. We would stay there again."
