Costao do Santinho Resort

Atendimento fantástico do Gabi e do Cris, além da aventura ter sido muito divertida! Parabéns! Fantastic team! Congratulations to Gabi and Cris! The sandboard was really fun and these guys gave us a strong support. We do reccomend this activity!

This hotel exceeded my expectations significantly. I will begin with the staff--my Portuguese is limited, but everyone was truly excellent and took the time to work with me to make sure everything we needed was provided. The food is very, very good, particularly at the buffet. I was surprised (pleasantly!) at the quality of the preparation and the variety, particularly of dishes like steak and seafood that were all-you can eat. The wine was ok, but the cocktails were fabulous around the pool and at meals. We did one of the theme restaurants (the French fancy dining at Senhora da Vitoria), and the food was less enjoyable, but the service was still fantastic. Our room was a Luxury Suite in the International Hotel. The rooms are a little bit dated, but they were comfortable. The wifi is free but weak in the hotel (maybe it is better in the villas). Our room came with a full kitchen and a FULL washing machine AND dryer--that turned out to be a true life-saver, as we were beginning a two-week trip throughout Brazil and were able to start our next leg with completely clean clothes. The outdoor pools were very nice but cold in August even though they were heated (probably because they are very large pools--tough to keep all that water warm); but the indoor pools were very warm and enjoyable (if a bit crowded). The beach is GORGEOUS, although the waves were a bit rough for small children (probably great for surfing and body boards). The spa was wonderful, with helpful staff that provided top-notch service and a fantastic massage where the provider used her feet on my back, which I've never seen outside Asia and which was just what I needed after 12 hours on airplanes. One thing I will warn others about is that the hotel is FAR from other things on the island. The hotel is set back from the town and feels secluded and security, but the closest area, Ingeles, is built up and not really very nice. It is 30 minutes to Jurere International, almost an hour to Lagoa, and more than an hour to the airport. Ubers are plentiful and cheap, which helps somewhat. If you are looking to get away and just chill at a nice all-inclusive, this is the place for you--but if you are planning on seeing sights outside the hotel, just be warned. I admit had my doubts booking this hotel, but having been there my one regret is that we had to leave!

"I had high expectations - but they were exceeded. Everything at Costao de Santinho is top-class. The accommodations, the service, the food, the activities. All credit to the staff, who with great dedication give their all for the guests. My family (wife and daughter) and I enjoyed delicious food, watched shows in the evenings, and had a wide range of activities to choose from during the days. I especially want to mention the zipline and the tree-climbing tour. Here, Costaos' staff (in this case, Brazilian Chris and his colleagues José from Cuba and Robert from Venezuela) showed exceptional service. They made my daughter and me feel like we were the only guests at the hotel when they helped us climb between the treetops. I highly recommend taking part in all the activities. It ensures that all the good food doesn't settle on the waistline."
