This is a very stylish hotel in a beautiful location about which the pictures certainly do not lie! The front opens out onto a beach which goes for miles in both directions, and which was practically deserted. The sea was a bit rough for swimming when we were there, but the paddling was good when the tide went out. On the other side you have a lake fringed by forest. There are only 6 rooms. The staff were very attentive and helpful at all times. There is a limited choice for lunch and dinner, but this changes every day and the dishes were always tasty and very well presented. All in all very relaxing and peaceful - everything we hoped for. We really liked the style of the place, too. You need to be aware that getting there needs a bit of planning: from the BA001/BA030 junction is to 30 km on the BA030 to Cassange - this is a wide but rough dirt road, and will take about an hour. At Cassange you turn off onto a small dirt road - sandy in places - which runs for about 5 km to the hotel. You soon run out of roads on Google maps on this last part, and we had no network anyway at this point. I would not attempt this in a regular car unless it had high clearance. We had a 'Jeep' which was just about OK. Expect a bumpy adventure. We made side trips to Taipu de Fora and Barra Grande, and took a boat trip from Porto do Joel across to Ilha de Boipeba (a bit bumpy on the open sea, too!).
