    great food
    friendly staff
    outdated room

    Had an awesome getaway with friends! We played rounds at both the renowned San Lorenzo and Pinheiros Altos courses. A relaxing beach day. The food was top-notch, and the staff were super friendly. You can really enjoy some golf, fine dining, and amazing sunsets here.

    One downside was that our room was a bit outdated and could use some refreshing. A few of the amenities felt like they needed repairs, which was surprising for a hotel of this caliber.

    Friendly and helpful staff made our experience enjoyable. The pool area was lovely, and the breakfast options, especially the beef dishes, were delightful. However, the hotel's decor needs an update, and the room felt a bit outdated. While the location is excellent for golf and the beach, the overall facilities could benefit from some refurbishment.

    A Good Base for Golfers

    The breakfast buffet was impressive, they really had everything from fresh pastries to great coffee.

    It wasn’t cheap, but honestly, it was acceptable for what we got.
