"As acomodações são todas novas, tudo muito limpo e organizado. O banheiro tinha um pouco de retorno de cheiro no ralo do chuveiro, nada demais, porém percebível. Os funcionários são muito gestis e atenciosos. A localização é excelente, em meio à natureza, silencio absoluto, exceto pelos passáros e a cachoeira. O café da manhã é espetacular, e deixei como sugestão ter o café à tarde também, pois há pouca opção de alimentação próximo ao local. Almoço e janta com menu mais rebuscado, o que para um...

"Great hotel overall, excellent food, friendly staff. Would rate excellent if only two flaws: the music playlist is boring, repetitive and almost exclusively in English. Also, the property puts forward its environmental posture, but nothing is done t reforest the mostly heavily degraded land. Reforesting the margins of the little river should be a priority."
