Rio Quente Resorts - Hotel Turismo

We had a wonderful dinner on our last night at Hotel Turismo. Alessandro was our server at Pequi Restaurant, and he was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly he truly made our evening special. The Moore Family

Great experience to relax, enjoy nature and having fun in the aqua park, Hot Park. Also, the food is another experience in the local restaurant. Breakfast and lunch very well served. Don’t miss to have a dinner in the Pequi Restaurant and try the local food.

This place was awesome, first we were greeted and farewelled by Mackendy at the front who was super friendly and helpful. This was my first time at the park but my partner and her family have been many times. All the staff are super friendly and helpful and are always willing to have a good conversation. The atmosphere in the park is great with nature all around with local animals everywhere, you will spot some arara’s, tucanos, lizards, monkeys, tuiú (giant lizard), other small birds and some fish. There are other animals around but I don’t thing they venture this way. At 5:30pm the arara’s show up in the masses and if you are fast to can get some great photos or videos with them flying with the sunset in the background. So first things first we were staying in the Turismo Hotel, as they have three hotels on site, but in my opinion Tursimo is the best one because of location and facilities. (Trust me location is worth it when it comes to all the activities below) The natural hot water park (only for guests of the hotels) is great and calming with may different temperature pools with varying depths. It also boasts a natural sauna, lots of bars, a day spa and gym. The bars sell food as well but there are some restaurants just up the path. The morning is more peaceful as the afternoon has live music and more people as the other park closes at 5pm and around 8/830pm it’s gets peaceful again as many head to eat and hit the bed. They also have an entertainment arena where they put on shoes in the evening at 9:30 that ranges from dancing to rock bands. Now speaking of Rock Bands we saw a band called Utriu (search them up on Instagram) these guys where amazing and played some awesome classics from queen to AC/DC and more. The crazy thing is they sounded pretty damn close the the original singers as the changed the music. The hot water park (with the slides and activities) opens around 9am but most of the slides and stuff start from 10am, though they have the large pool (with some exercises or dance going on) and fake beach open. Is has a great range of slides for kids to adults plus other activities for kids to keep busy. At the fake beach you can play beach tennis, beach volleyball, beach footvolley (beach football volleyball), beach football and table football game (like table tennis but using a football), oh and dancing in the pool. Lots of places to get food and drinks from but don’t forget you have an all you can eat buffet back at the hotel if you are staying there. Now to the food, the breakfast and lunch is an all you can eat buffet with a pretty good range. The lunch has the Brazilian classics everyday with a few dishes changing every day. You also get a range of beers, soft drinks and juices included (yes all you can drink beer ;)). Now the the next shoutout was to Ericlecia whom served us fresh pasta everyday, the pasta does change as well with the sauces everyday, and everyday it was delicious só do your self a favor and go see
